About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Swept Away (2002), the Madonna vehicle that scored a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes and made back just $1 million of its $10 million budget. Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring his then-wife, the movie strands two terrible characters on a deserted island and asks the audience to root for them as a couple. Madonna won the Razzie for Worst Actress — her first of two that year. Spoiler: both hosts agree it's the worst movie either has ever seen.
