| 0:00.0 | Hello, my name is Justin the Clue, and I'm here today with Will Sloan. |
| 0:11.2 | And today, we're talking about everyone's favorite satirical award ceremony, the Razies. |
| 0:19.1 | Right, Will? |
| 0:19.9 | Specifically, we're talking about a collection of films that is on the Criterion channel right now. |
| 0:26.0 | If you go to the main page, you'll see that they have a selection of movies called And the Razzie |
| 0:31.0 | goes to that brings together not exactly the best of the Razies, not exactly the worst of the Razzies either. |
| 0:39.7 | Whatever criterion had available. |

| 1:50.0 | Or if not, if not, or maybe some might disagree, but movies that you can make a case for, |
