Let's begin with trivia. Did you know that ' gadda ' radiation isn't a thing? It's a word with many results in Google, among the notable being a translation from Oromo for the word ' grief ', an emotion I would heavily associate with watching this, and allegedly a type of bed from India, a good indicator of where you'll want to go during this movie.

So, what is Big Bad Bugs? Aside from having a name that's really fun to say, there's nothing else going for it.

The protagonist is your average euphoric fedora-tipping redditor who broke up with his wife for some reason. The wife, who's like 20 years older, resents him, possibly rightfully so. Also, the new boyfriend, Chaddeus Maximus, who visibly struggles to put a sentence together when asked a yes/no question.

Wormholes begin to appear in the middle east... of California. Try as they may, it was very clearly the Californian desert, and it was a bunch of people romping around in Spirit Halloween military costumes.

Anyway, magic rocks come from somewhere, the bugs, who aren't bugs and are arachnids, somehow get the crystals inside them. This goes nowhere.

In the initial cave, there's oddly pristine drawings on the walls, one of which entrances the ex. Apparently this makes a wormhole start to open, and mister euphoric borderline sexually harasses her by nonconsensually forcefully kissing her. They barely escape the cave. The cave writings and fugue are never mentioned again.

During their escapades, it's discovered that the wormhole sends them to a place parallel either in the same reality or an alternate one. It turns out the mad scientist, Gerber, yes, Gerber, went through it and ended up a massive 20 miles away. This is never mentioned again.

The grand group of gigabrains then try to triangulate Gerbs by using a Geiger counter and one (1) radio. After fighting some guys in terrorist towels, captain fedhoria falls asleep, dreams of his ex, wakes up. This goes nowhere.

To the eagle eye observers, you may notice a pattern. Nothing happens in this movie, so let's cut to the end.

Gerbs stabs himself with a crystal or five, turns into a snake, Chaddeus has a moment of clarity, physically assaults his possible fiancee, then stabs himself with a crystal, also turning into a snake.

The two coil around each other like a nice poop before being flushed into the interdimensional toilet to stop the wormholes from opening.

Please, I beg you, do not watch this. Not even for fun. You will suffer.
