About Us

Gabriel Theis is an independent filmmaker, freelance writer, and co-host/editor of "Not That Bad." He's the writer/director of The Curse of Professor Zardonicus, streaming on Tubi. In addition, he has bylines at Polygon, Fangoria, Dread Central, and Screen Rant.

Officially released in 2022, The Curse of Professor Zardonicus was written, directed, and produced by our very own Gabriel Theis. The film follows film student Greg, who is recruited by a student named Darren to help him prove the existence of a local urban legend. It is currently available to stream for free on Tubi, and can be purchased or rented on Amazon, Vudu, and Walmart.com!

Connor McCarthy is a host and co-creator of Not That Bad: A Movie Podcast, and in addition to running the social media, he also creates all the graphics for the show. Connor is originally from the Chicagoland area, but now lives in the state of Georgia. In addition to working on this show, Connor also co-owns Pro Wrestling Surge, an online brand focused on culminating a more positive online community around professional wrestling.

After collaborating on a single YouTube video in 2018 called Of Two Minds: Rob Zombie's Halloween, our hosts were once again brought together when Gabe, who was hosting All Nighter Discussions, invited Connor on to discuss John Carpenter's Starman. Soon, the two were back to discuss Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse, then the Evil Dead Trilogy. It was after recording the final episode that the idea for this show began, born out of a series on Gabe's channel with the same name. The rest... as they say... is history!
