The Worst Movies of the 2000s (and Why We’re Still Not Over Them)

Sequels nobody asked for. CGI disasters. Razzie winners that somehow made it through the studio system. In this episode of A.J. Chat, we’re looking back at the movies from the 2000s that didn’t just flop—they faceplanted right into pop culture infamy.

From Catwoman and Gigli to The Happening and Battlefield Earth, these films aren’t just bad—they’re cautionary tales. What went wrong? Why did audiences (and critics) run for the exits? And how did some of these ever get greenlit?


Get ready for box office bombs, bad scripts, and some career choices that still have us scratching our heads.
