I'm going to suggest Unabashed B-Movie Fan, to emphasize that the character's fondness isn't a Guilty Pleasure, regardless of whether the character thinks it's So Bad, It's Good or legitimately good.
I got a rock for Halloween.Do the examples need to be something that defines a specific character? For example, Gravity Falls S2 E2 "Into the Bunker" has this:
- Theres No B In Movie: The episode opens with Dipper and Wendy watching a cheap zombie movie, Nearly Almost Dead But Not Quite!. The Stinger shows promos of additional movies for Gravity Falls Bargain Movie Showcase.
If we need a slightly broader name than one referring to a single fan, then I'll slightly modify my suggestion to Unabashed B Movie Fandom.

The example doesn't indicate a narrative purpose for the action of watching this type of media.

The narrative value I can think of is if the movie has some sort of parallel to the work it's in, or if it's an example of Stylistic Suck, both of which don't need to be about B-movies.
Anyway, I think referring to a single fan is okay, so something along the lines of Unabashed B-Movie Fan sounds alright.
Disagree with Unironic B Movie Fan, because this trope also covers people watching things that are So Bad, It's Good or to make fun of them. I would consider these ironic forms of appreciation.
"It's just a show; I should really just relax"Unabashed B-Movie Fan excludes those who have it as a guilty pleasure.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.The crowner's been up since late April. I think it's safe to call in favor of Unabashed B-Movie Fan (the visible options are messed up, but the history still works).

Someone may have voted and changed that, as both that and B-Movie Fan have 8 votes in favor and 2 against currently.
Sorry, the tie wasn't there when I checked several hours ago.

Crown Description:

There Is No B In Movie is intended to be about characters watching B-movies to demonstrate the character's traits - generally because they don't have many standards, or because they consider it So Bad, It's Good. However, it's often used for any time someone watches a B-movie. The other use is when the B-movie has symbolism or parallels to the actual work, which may be foreshadowing. In some of the characters who watch B-movies fit the stereotype, but that is not demonstrated in the example itself.
The trope tends to attract Zero Context Examples as well. I believe that misuse of this trope is due to the title, since all that can be taken from it is simply "B-movie".
