The Worst Movie to Watch on a First Date

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Dave, Neil, and Joanna are here to discuss their worst movie-date stories and crown the winner for the worst flick to watch on a first date

Newmarket Films


This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna are debating the worst movie to watch on a first date! But first, Dave starts by telling Joanna and Neil all about Madame Web so that they don’t have to watch it (10:56). Then, they tell some of their worst movie-date stories and discuss some pretrial dismissals (24:41). Later, they read through your stories and submissions before picking the four that will be on the final poll (41:40).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the worst movie to watch on a first date? You can vote for the winner at ⁠TheRinger.com⁠, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find Trial by Content. The winner will be announced on the next episode!

You can send your picks for the next topic and a few sentences to support your pick to ⁠[email protected]⁠. You can also submit suggestions for future Trial by Content topics. Is there a great pop culture debate that you’d like us to settle? Send it on over!

For a list of all the movies discussed on this week’s episode and a preview of what is to come on Trial by Content, head on over to ⁠Letterboxd.com/TrialByContent⁠ and follow us there!
