Sidekicks (1992) - SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD REVIEW

Step into the dojo of ‘90s nostalgia as All2ReelToo’s So Bad They’re Good series kicks into high gear with a look at Sidekicks (1992)! This cult classic follows Barry Gabrewski, a bullied teen with a wild imagination and one ultimate dream—to become the sidekick to martial arts legend Chuck Norris. When fantasy starts to collide with reality, Barry takes matters into his own hands, training in martial arts to find confidence, courage, and maybe even his own spotlight. Starring Jonathan Brandis, Beau Bridges, Mako, Joe Piscopo, and Danica McKellar—with Chuck Norris playing himself—this episode dives into the film’s blend of fantasy sequences, heartfelt moments, and gloriously cheesy action. Is it inspiring? Is it ridiculous? Is it both? We break down everything that makes Sidekicks a perfectly imperfect gem in the “so bad it’s good” hall of fame. #All2ReelToo #SoBadItsGood #Sidekicks1992 #ChuckNorris #90sMovies #CultClassics #MartialArtsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #Nostalgia #BadMoviesGoodFun Listen now: all2reeltoo.com Support the show: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/cullenpark/membership Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/cullenpark ️ Catch Mike's captivating chats on: Pop Culture Junkie discussing the 1983 V Miniseries: https://popculturejunkie.com/podcast/looking-at-v-with-michael-e-cullen/ Movie Smash Podcast discussing #GhostWorld (2001): https://www.movie-smash.com/episodes/episode/32534003/episode-18-ghost-world-2001-special-guest-michael-e-cullen-ii-from-the-all2reeltoo-podcast Film Talk with Jordan Ramirez, chatting about #Once (2007): https://youtu.be/fubJGxZ3NSU?si=ptSlTewm72LTVspQ Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore and Matt discussing #MadameWeb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRXjJGtzdlU Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore discussing #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvsYPsvLBM&t=1471s The Family Fright Night Horror Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7kstbpDOnLQeI8BQGLzina Enjoy eerie tunes by host Matthew Haase - https://www.youtube.com/@LimitlessMatt Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/CullenPark, shop our spooktacular merch - http://tee.pub/lic/CullenPark, and catch Mike on The Nerdball Podcast - https://pod.fo/e/ba2aa Help fund our friend Mark Klein's funeral: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-mark-kleins-legacy Make a difference with these organizations: Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://www.pcrf.net/information-you-should-know/how-to-help-palestine.html Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/ The Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ Matthew Perry Foundation: https://matthewperryfoundation.org/ The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ HRC Foundation: https://www.hrc.org/hrc-story/hrc-foundation Point Foundation: https://pointfoundation.org/ Direct Relief: https://www.directrelief.org/ NAACP Legal Defense Fund: https://www.naacpldf.org/ Black Voters Matter Fund: https://www.blackvotersmatterfund.org Tahirih Justice Center: https://www.tahirih.org/ Mona Foundation: https://www.monafoundation.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.
