This musical is like the theater equivalent of an animated "Titanic" movie where the ship never sank and was saved by a giant octopus. Yes, that movie exists. Rest in peace, Diana.

Glenn close being nominated for worst supporting actress and being nominated for best supporting actress at Oscars is iconic 😅

I can't believe the casting director for Karen thought that the actor most of the world knows as "Pennsatucky" would be convincing as an entitled wealthy woman.

Sean: "We did not deserve that woman." Me: "Aww, that's so nicely said." Sean: "Charles certainly didn't." Me: *Dies laughing.*

What Sean is thankful for this year: being done with the Worst Picture Project. Oh, and also recovering from covid, apparently. I'm glad you're okay!

As always Sean, thank you. Thank you not only for this whole project, but for every damn thing you do. You are a treasure to the internet and I pray you never change. Or at least I would pray if I thought it would be effective.

As a proud Welsh man, I’d like to say, YES DIANA DID DESERVE BETTER!!! And none of us deserved her!!! She went out like a candle in the wind!!!😭😭😭

The Razzie's could've argued that POS movie Karen was a rip-off of memes that would've made a little sense, but being a rip-off of Cruella WTF

I stand by the fact that the best piece of Diana media to come out in the past few years is Pablo Larrain’s Spencer. Not only does it feature the best performance of Kristen Stewart’s career, it also functions as a sort of “what if?” story that gives Diana a happy, albeit bittersweet, ending that never feels disrespectful to her legacy

Ooh! This was an... interesting choice. Also, Happy Halloween, Sean of the Dead! 🎃

Okay, um, the "feck you" alternative doesn't really work when you consider that while "feck" is basically a milder way of saying "fuck," it's more of an Irish thing than English.

I never actually heard of "Diana: The Musical" before in my life, or even knew it was a thing

This is it. The end of the line. One more stop and Sean is done... I wonder what he'll cover for his multi year spanning review odyssey

Would love to see a ranking from least deserving to most deserving Worst Picture Winner overall from you when it's finally complete!

... "[Karen] was an inadvertent remake of Cruella." When nearly everyone else was rightly saying that it ripped off Get Out? ... I don't get it!

Me: Its getting late, I should be heading to bed... *Sees Sean uploaded a new video* Who needs sleep anyways?

I can't believe we're actually almost done with the razzies! what an amazing few years it has been. from twilight to a pandemic, who knew the ride we'd go on haha

After you're done with the Worst Picture winners, I'd love to see you tackle "Wired," the John Belushi biopic based on the Bob Woodward book. It's honestly weird how not a lot of online reviewers have talked about it, the only notable one I can think of is The Cinema Snob, especially given how infamously bad it was, the controversy behind it and the book with Belushi's family and friends and how it almost killed Michael Chiklis' career... that and the fact that it's never gotten a DVD or Blu-Ray release, which is not a good sign.

Well, this was a nice treat to wake up on Halloween morning! Thanks, Sean! And yes, I do think the Razzies should have called Karen the worst picture! Or tied it with Music...

Happy Halloween! A new Cinematic Excrement!? Best. Halloween. Ever.

We absolutely should have more musicals available over streaming, but using it to advertise a play that was still very new and already poorly received was a big mistake. Hamilton had been around for 5 years to massive acclaim by the time it streamed on D+

"She was 19, he was 32." It's fine, Leia and Han were the same ages when they met.

This is quite a treat! ^^ Happy Halloween, please remember to take breaks!

I remember being a young kid hearing about Princess Diana dying and being heartbroken over it. I'm American, but she had won hearts internationally. The World didn't deserve her. Edit: There were plenty of other movies that deserved Worst Picture

I never even knew this musical / play even existed😂

I definitely would've picked Music for the Worst Picture as that movie makes me feel personally insulted as an autistic person myself.

Worth Noting: I feel the Razzies did the 2020/21 route was because The Oscars did that as well with including early 2021 films, they tend to copy whatever the Oscars do

None of the actors in Diana deserved Razzie wins. It's dreck, but their performances were not the problem.

Daily reminder that Diana is arguably one of the _rare_ examples of Royalty who nobody could really talk smack about and was an overall lovely and precious woman. And this "musical" did not serve her justice. Just watch _Spencer_ (as Smeghead said) if you want a good story focusing on her struggles, it has Kirsten Stewart giving a brilliant performance as her.

We've kind of come full circle with this series, because based on these clips, DIANA reminds me a lot of CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC. Too campy for mainstream audiences, not *nearly* campy enough for camp connoisseurs. There's a very interesting book called NOT SINCE CARRIE about legendary Broadway flops, including the infamous stage musical adaptation of Stephen King's book (which has gotten something of a critical reappraisal in recent years, though with several changes from what crash-landed on Broadway in 1988). The one I really want to see is VIA GALACTICA, a sci-fi musical from the early seventies which simulated weightlessness by having actors jump up and down on trampolines.

We’re down to the line, folks. Can’t wait for the next one!

Hey, it's Halloween, the time of scares, and a bad musical I'll say can indeed be scary. 😉😂🤣 But seriously, with this, and the subject of the final video for now in this Raspberry Series both being Netflix movies, no wonder I've never heard of either one. Yeah, I did my normal Google to see what's next. Anyways, thank you for providing this while I'm taking a break from tonight's gaming session. Did enjoy your video, Sean.

Diana deserved SO much better. Rest in peace.

"And Diana deserves better." Just wait until you find out about the subject of the net worst picture winner; trust me, it was WAY more offensive than the musical

The journey through the Razzies is almost over

The moment I read the title of the video I was like "you can not be serious..."

The single thing I'll give this one is for the life of me (a 20-year theater techie), I cannot figure out exactly how they did the wedding dress transition. I need to see actual footage of the stage show, maybe the camera angles just hid a lot of extra steps, but IT DRIVES ME CRAZY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT

Next up, Blonde. One of the more interesting movies in the Razzies' catalogue, for a number of different reasons: It's Netflix's first NC-17-rated movie, it's the second NC-17-rated movie in the Razzies' existence to win worst picture 27 years after the previous winner Showgirls, it's a movie that initially had a lot of oscar buzz around it and it ended up walking away with one oscar nomination, best actress for Ana de Armas (Which personally, I don't know if it was warranted, I mean, I think she did fine but I'm not sure if it was really worthy of a best actress oscar nomination, but I digress). Even it ultimately winning worst picture I find a bit perplexing, I'm not saying it was a good movie, I thought it was boring, pretentious and unpleasant, but out of the movies that came out in 2022, I was left thinking "Really? That one won, huh?", and I was personally hoping Morbius would win, but that's just me.

I mean, I don't think a wide age gap is always a red flag. My grandma and grandpa were 15 years apart, (She 22 and he 37 when they got together) and they were still very much in love when my grandma passed. I know those results aren't typical, but that's true of most marriages.

Nominating a movie on streaming is honestly only one step above nominating a TV- or Straight-to-DVD-movie - it shouldn't happen in the first place. And especially not to a pro shot. Plus, instead of nominating a supposed rip-off, why did they not nominate the original "Cruella"? Did they really forget the "Dalmatians-killed-her-parent"-thing?

My grandmother watched Thunder Force on NYE. After she thought that I should choose something better. I showed her My Man Godfrey instead.

The worst movie of 2021 should have been "Music". Another nominee for worst movie for 2021 should have been "Dear Evan Hansen".

Oh lord, yeah Diana deserved far better I’m still surprised that Karen didn’t “win” Worst Picture because holy god, all that made me think was “ya know, this could be much better if it was an episode of The Boondocks; but nope” Well, at least with Karen we got some great commentary/riffs from channels like EFAP, JLongbone and company, Kennie JD with her Bad Movies and a Beat and a couple more

Regarding your point about the musical referencing ‘80’s rock music, didn’t Diana have a strong friendship with Elton John for a while? They had a brief period where they didn’t talk for a while, but apparently reconciled right before Diana’s death. He even re-recorded Candle In The Wind to be about her, and it became one of his biggest hits. THAT could’ve been something to include! Though, speaking of Candle In The Wind, your next review being a movie about that song’s original subject is going to be… interesting to see.

4:30 Germany used to have a HUGE TV-campaign about "you can't get aids like you get a cold", with various celebrities basically going about their work-day, shaking hands, talking to people, someone sneezed here and there, and it was always about "I don't care if any of these people is HIV positive, none of the things I just did could infect me"

YAY! Cinematic Excrement is back! It's a Halloween miracle! 13:07 Hey, that movie had Lois Lane, Commissioner Gordon, Falcon, and U.S.Agent in it. 13:49 Just like a lot of Melissa McCarthy movies. Hi-yo! 14:21 Please review both of those. I'm on the Autistic spectrum, and everything I heard about "Music" pisses me off, so I hope you verbally eviscerate it. On topic, I was waiting for the "big reveal": the one thing that made "Diana: The Musical" absolutely suck, but it sounds like more of a wet fart than an explosion of awfulness.

One more. One more Worst Picture winner next time and then, it's over. Good luck dude and Happy Halloween.

Not what I expected for Halloween but kay. I guess I will do a public service and list Halloween-adjacent musicals you could be watching instead (if only because this would be a weird one to watch tonight) * The Rocky Horror Picture Show * Repo! The Genetic Opera * Phantom of the Opera * Little Shop of Horrors * Metalocalypse The Doomstar Requiem (err okay this one will make zero sense of you haven’t seen the show but I had to give it its due for the tenth anniversary!) * Phantom of the Paradise * Sweeney Todd * Anna and the Apocalypse (if you don’t mind a little Christmas creeping in) * Anything from Starkid’s Hatchetfield series And probably a few others I’m missing

Smeg head: we did not deserve that women Me: we didn't deserve 30 years of every shirty newest paper and TV show or new thing whipping the long dead horse eather, yet hear we are

Even if this isn’t the worst picture of 2021, I can see why it “won.” Were the people behind this trying to condemn the paparazzi? Because they focused almost exclusively on Diana’s marital problems just like the press did. It’s also more than a little tasteless to make an entire musical about Diana when she spent most of her life trying to get away from all the media attention. Not to mention they took a strong, kindhearted, and ambitious woman and depicted her as vengeful and weak. They should’ve derived from Disney’s Cinderella. That’s an example of this kind of storyline done right.

I remember when Diana died, there was a sketch on The Daily Show where it showed footage of her meeting Mother Theresa and it was saying how we lost a kind, loving, charitable woman, and the punchline was, "Oh, and also an old Nun from India died." The thing is, if you look at both of their lives, Diana was a much better person. She actually tried to alleviate suffering instead of reveling in it. She didn't basically steal from people when she raised money. Had she won the Nobel Peace Prize, she wouldn't have said that we should end all abortions before trying to end war. I don't care whether you're pro-choice or pro-life, there's no reason, if you want to end abortion, that we shouldn't try to end both. I personally want legal safe abortions as an option for anyone who wants one, but if you're not in favor of that, I don't see why you wouldn't want to end war as well.

If Superman & Lois is to believed, Lois basically dressed like that at the height of her power in 2005.

The fact that Hadestown doesn't have an official recording but this does is just wrong.

The Razzies kicking Bruce Willis when he was down and the lazy way they called Karen a “rip-off of Cruella” once again proves how unfunny, lazy and cruel they are.

14:40 The Razzies in a nutshell. P.S. How did a single person in the Razzies get it into their empty little head that Karen was a so-called "in-advertent re-make of Cruella" , either they were stupid, or they were huffing more paint than Charlie Kelly!

4:40 damn the katana slices

Happy Halloween, Sean! Another great review!

Next is "Blonde", a movie that shouldn't even have been nominated for Worst Picture, let alone win. Even if it did deserve a nomination, the win should've gone to "Morbius".

“What in the name of Vladimir Putin is this?”… Wow, Sean, now that’s some nightmare fuel

Sadly, regardless of her own personality and achievements, Diana was a victim of the Establishment that she was born into. Charles was getting on and while Camilla was more his age and from the same class, Diana was ideal for child-bearing. People should really understand that in the royal family, there is very little agency. Sure ... you're a princess (or a prince) but you're in a job that has rules. I've a lot of sympathy for Diana because she went into a loveless marriage with a romantic notion of what she could do.

Man, if I was going to pull a scheme like THE PRODUCERS and make a flop on purpose, this subject has potential.

I honestly just sort thought this was meh. I don't remember much from it but didn't scream "trainwreck" to me in any way. Of the nominees my worst is Infinite, but Karen is a close second. Also if the razzies wanted to nominated Karen for worst remake ripoff or sequel, instead of saying it's a remake or Cruella, how about say it's a ripoff of Get Out.

The Diana costume designer (William Ivey Long) also has several sexual abuse allegations against him and yet keeps getting hired on Broadway. You’re welcome.

Next project for the crew: Kennedy: A Mind-blowing Event

15:09 I actually own another of Stewart's good films, Underwater, a sci-fi Lovecraftian horror flick. Should definitely watch it later...

This musical’s soundtrack sounds like Six from Wish And yes, Diana deserved a whole lot better

The holidays arrived early this year: another dose of cinematic drek, dissected. Thank you, Sean!

GREAT video. Nice to seen one of your videos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

ah, this gives me memories! not of diana, no, but recently me and my sisters took our dad to Sydney to see the Tina Turner musical, which was absolutely amazing! don't think Diana is gonna be anything like that, sadly...

“…whatever *love* means, anyway… Look, I’m here to fulfill a quota. Really, I’m counting the hours till Camilla comes along”

I have a perfect film for Cinematic Excrement; Robert Clouse's Bruceploitation film Game of Death.

When the Diana musical was first announced, I immediately thought to myself "Why would you ever make a musical about Diana?"

The Vlogs are not enough. The "worst picture project" needs to relaunch, covering all the other nominees. Your full length Cine-ex episodes stand with the best on youtube, they cannot end!

You do know you can still do the nominees…..

Since I'm sort of the unintentional instigator of this series to talk about worst picture nominees (Thanks Emoji Movie for your shittiness making me give him that request.), I hope that next episode will be a great senf off to it.

Next one Is that Marylin Biopic... 😅

One day I hope you do The Apple, the Mount Everest of bad musicals!

A whole lot of heartache could've been saved if someone had just gone up to the two writers at the pitch stage and said "No, this is a terrible idea that's never going to work." Apart from the fact that having THE MODERN-DAY ROYAL FAMILY bursting into song whenever they needed to emote was always going to be jarring as hell, you can't trivialise such weighty subjects as suicide attempts, eating disorders and messy Royal divorces through song-and-dance numbers. This meant they could never go full-on comedy with the material - but at the same time, if they kept the music in a tone sensitive to the subject matter it would've been dark and depressing as hell and nobody would want to watch it. Even trying to dance back and forth between the two extremes was never going to work either, because the whiplash would be too intense - and if you tried to delicately tread the thin line between the two you'd just end up with something bland and soulless. You absolutely CAN make a musical that swings between high, bawdy comedy and deep tragedy - 'Les Miserables' and 'Blood Brothers' do it excellently, but that's because they deal with *fictional* characters, albeit in a real world setting and/or period of history. You can't do it with real-life famous people that everyone knows about and who are still very visible in the media, without it feeling like either a very lame and tone-deaf parody (at best) or a spiteful and unempathetic roast of some very troubled people (at worst.)

Check out the bulk of the Rogers and Hammerstein collection of musical films and you'll find that mixing camp with pathos can be done. But it takes a great book, great music, and a director with immense experience. The creators of Diana, I believe, were rushing a production in order to capitalize on a wave of nostalgia. Those projects seldom work well.

Fun fact: Diana once playfully broke a (fake) glass bottle over Charles’ head. In other words, she… crowned a future king 😎

"We did not deserve that woman" and Diana didn't deserve all the trash she got, including this bad musical/movie. My 10 worst films of 2021 10. Red Notice 9. Great White 8. Infinite 7. Apex 6. Space Jam: A New Legacy 5. The Devil Below 4. The Resort 3. Claw 2. Dear Evan Hansen 1. Behemoth

Honestly, while this movie wasn’t good, it’s impressive that they put this together in the wake of the pandemic. Next year we’re finally finished with this project, with a movie I personally consider the worst of 2022.

Hang in there, you’re almost free!

Gonna disagree with "Superhero world where the only people with superpowers are sociopaths" is an interesting premise. Mainly because unless you're like literally DC or Marvel that feels more common than just playing superheroes straight.

The pink step grandmother reminds me of Weird Barbie from the Barbie movie somehow.

Happy Halloween!

Lady Diana was the People's Princess and truly gone too soon. It's bullcrap that this is part of her legacy now but at least we have the Spencer Movie to make up for it

No...Octavia Spencer's performance wasn't lackluster, she HAD to be the straight man because Sookie(still her Gilmore Girls role to me) stays over the top! The worst thing about Thunder Force is that it kept me from eating my favorite seafood for the next 2 years!!!!!

Diann will be remembered a lot more than this Musical.

The press photographers put me in mind of Kate Bush's dancers in the Them Heavy People promo, though not as good.

Happy Halloween, Sean!

KZfaq recommendations are weird aren't they? You can get a video from 14 years ago that are irrelevant to your interests, yet completely miss a video that was uploaded just a couple weeks ago. I just find it funny, is all. As for the video itself, while I never cared much about the royal family, Diana really did deserve better. If you want to bring attention to someone's life in some way (especially if they did good in the world), make a documentary instead. I'm the least qualified to talk about her or the royal family so I'll end it here.

You should cover Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness. It’s not good, but it’s at least better than the first two movies.

I didn’t even know this was a thing Now I do And my life is worse for it 😞

Never heard of it, and I live in Ireland 🇮🇪, lol

Something regarding Hamilton's stage recording-turned-film: my mom is a massive fan of the show and has always wanted to see it ever since 2016 (I got the chance to see it in person with my uncle and two cousins when it had its first National Tour stop in Los Angeles), so when it had its release in 2020, she watched it a total of three times and it's now one of her go-to Fourth of July films next to Independence Day, 1776, and The Patriot. I don't think she's heard of Diana: The Musical, but chances are that she would not enjoy it.

Holy Moly. I missed this one completely. Never heard of it XD

Sean is back🎉

I wouldn't have minded a biopic of Princess Diana. But why the hell did they make it a musical?

“Saucy dialogue that sounds straight out of a trashy romance novel!?!” You know what Barbara Cartland did for living, right? A lot of her trashy novels were made into films and I DARE you to watch one. Hugh Grant has a mullet in one).
