It is shit, but it is marvellous shit. I will always watch it if I see it on the TV Guide/Netflix.
Same with Oceans 11.

'Dark Star' a complete low budget misfire but oddly fun to watch

“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Good call
There were a few terrible films which back then I thought were brilliant, but almost certainly wouldn't stand the test of time, like Weird Science.
Does Mamma Mia qualify, since it's actually so knowing in its awfulness but brilliant because of it?

The subject of Tremors, RLM's Mike and Jay started a new segment to talk about one of their favourites! It's been a while since I've watched it, but the one critique I remember was the bad and unnecessary animation when Gross and McIntyre shoot up the one that busts into their basement.
