About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade finally sneaks in A Pyromaniac's Love Story (1995), a forgotten 90s oddity with a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes that also happens to be one of his all-time favorite films. Set in a fairy-tale version of the present day, the film follows a smitten baker's apprentice (John Leguizamo), an eccentric pyromaniac (William Baldwin, surprisingly unhinged), and a tangled web of confessions, unrequited love, and misplaced gestures. It's a weird, warm, quietly funny movie that somehow never found its audience — and the podcast is officially volunteering to be the spark.

About the movie
A pastry boy and the son of a hair-piece mogul become involved in an arson scandal. Sergio is offered a bribe in exchange for taking the blame for the fire that destroys his workplace. Garet, the real arsonist, is apalled that someone else would try to take credit for his act of love. Before long, Sergio and Garet become entangled in a zany love-quadrangle involving Hattie and Stephanie. Written by Brian Whiting
