About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Doom (2005) — an 18% on Rotten Tomatoes adaptation of one of the most influential video games ever made, starring Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban as space marines fighting hell beasts on Mars. For a franchise built entirely on relentless carnage, the film is surprisingly short on actual monster killing and long on standing around in corridors talking. Not bad enough to be fun, just bad enough to be boring.

About the movie
A team of space marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, led by Sarge, is sent to a science facility on Mars after somebody reports a security breach. There, they learn that the alert came after a test subject, a mass murderer purposefully injected with alien DNA, broke free and began killing people. Dr. Grimm, who is related to team member Reaper, informs them all that the chromosome can mutate humans into monsters -- and is highly infectious.
