What happens when two movie nerds get together at Bristol’s leading cultural arts centre, cinema and cafe over coffee and a beer? We talk movies what else and that’s what happened when I met up with Timon Singh at the Watershed for a chat.
Born and bred in the city of Bristol, Timon is the co-founder of The Bristol Bad Film Club, a monthly screening event featuring some of the most beloved bad films ever to grace the cinema screen. Titles have included, “Plan 9 From Outer Space”, “Black Samurai” with “Enter the Dragon” star Jim Kelly and of course Tommy Wiseau’s seminal bad film “The Room”.The Bristol Bad Film Club has become a hallmark of what is quintessentially Bristol; it has also sparked a movement seeing other bad film screening events happening around the country. This is synonymous with a resurgent interest in bad films sparked by The Asylum’s “Sharknado” series and I would guess a surge of nostalgia films such as “Electric Boogalo;The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films”, and more recently Rob Hill’s “The Bad Movie Bible.”

Born to be bad is available now online from BearManor Media and Amazon both in print and for the Kindle..
