Welcome to Out on the Lanai, the only Golden Girls podcast you're ever going to need to listen to.

That was my cat just shaking right now if you heard that jingle in the background. I'm H. Allen Scott slash Sadie Pines. Everyone misses Frazier, right? Oh, I miss Frazier scaring the crap out of me all the time. And I'm Carrie Doherty. And this is a podcast where we used to watch an episode of the Golden Girls and then talk about it, but we ran out of episodes. So now, then we broke down all 24 episodes of the spin-off of the Golden Palace, but we ran out of those episodes too. So now, now we do whatever we want. That's right. Hey, Allen Scott slash Lady Pines. Today we're doing another beyond Golden Girls episode where we cover the many film and TV projects that B. Betty Rue and Estelle did after the Golden Girls.

And today we've decided to, I don't know why I picked this one.

This was a B. Arthur movie, a 1995 film called for better or worse.

I shouldn't even call it a B. Arthur movie. B. Arthur is in this movie. And I'm so, so sorry,

H. Allen, that I saw the poster and I thought this could look fun. You know what's funny about this.

So I'm always like, we probably shouldn't start the podcast by being like, this movie's bad, like we did with kind of with, um, stop where my mom will shoot. Because then like, if it's a bad movie, why would people listen? But I have a feeling a lot of people out there like me that kind of get off when things are bad. Like, well, one of the most popular podcasts is how did this get made, a podcast about bad movies. Yes. So, I mean, it is a niche. It's a niche market of people who really do enjoy just loving things that are bad. And when we were texting, because you and I were texting about this as we, you know, regularly do in our lives. And I was like, oh my God, this movie's bad. And you were like, it's so bad. It's not even good bad. It's bad bad. But I'm like, in retrospect, having finished it, I do think it is bad bad, but I feel like there were moments where it was trying to be good, bad. I get the intention of why it was trying so hard. It could have been good, bad, but it ended up being bad, bad, bad.

I don't think this movie ever set out to be good, bad, or bad, bad.

I think it set out to be good, good, and it failed, failed.

So, real quick, just so people know what this movie is about.

It's set in Los Angeles.

The IMDB logline is a comic triangle in which a man falls in love with his younger brother's wife.

This movie was directed by and starring Jason and Alexander of Seinfeld fame.

So between 1995 and 2012, he directed a handful of TV shows.

This was the only movie he directed.

I'm assuming because the lifetime gross of this movie in the U.S. and Canada, where it was

released, was $41,000, $628.
