Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

episode 608: Soylent Green
On this week's episode, the gang travels back to the early 1970s to chat about a total foodie film set in 2022, Soylent Green! How fantastic is Edward G. Robinson in this movie? Who let Heston wear that hat the whole time? Could we get a few more scenes with that arcade machine? And what's going in that gross stew that Robinson cooks up? PLUS: Did Heston's character come of age during the early-aughts' NYC indie music revival?
Soylent Green stars Charlton Heston, Edward G...
episode 609: Firestarter (1984)
On this week's episode, the gang goes back to King Country to talk about the lackluster 1984 Stephen King adaptation, Firestarter! Why was Gene Siskel so unimpressed with all these awesome explosions? Why do we bother using computer effects nowadays when blowing up a dummy is one of the greatest things a human being can see with their own two eyes? And where is the timeline where we got the wild-ass John Carpenter adaptation? PLUS: Litigation-lover George Lucas goes hard at Stephen...
episode 612: Top Gun
This week on the program, the gang is having an absolute ball talking about the Tony Scott action classic, Top Gun! How fantastic is it to see the great James Tolkan basically playing Principal Strickland, but in the Navy? Does Kelly McGillis's character live in the same house as Carrot Top and his buddies in Chairman of the Board? And how come we couldn't get a little more Merlin? PLUS: Everyone's favorite pilot, Wolf Man, and his beloved mother, call sign Mamma Mia, chat on the phone every...
episode 613: Mortal Kombat (2021)
On this week's episode, the gang was live on the Internet a while back chatting about the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot! Yes, this was the film that had a horrendously animated all-lizard Reptile, a really cool prologue sequence that feels like it's from another (better) movie, someone getting stabbed with their own frozen blood, and, you guessed it, a no-name protagonist that no one in the audience cares about! PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game and a stupid t-shirt...
episode 614: WLM - Jurassic Park (PREVIEW)
On this month's WLM, the guys are chatting about one of the all-time great Steve Spielberg classics, Jurassic Park! How out-of-this-world excellent is this John Williams score? Does it get any better than Goldblum and that open shirt? And would it have killed them to make it just the slightest bit—::DINOSAUR ROAR::! This episode is for subscribers only! To access the full show, along with countless hours of exclusive bonus content you can't get anywhere else, head over to our Patreon and...
episode 615: City Slickers
On this week's episode, the 2022 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza—a period of time in the WHM schedule where they drop episodes exclusively on bigger, more well-known titles that may or may not have been released in the summer because the release date is actually irrelevant to the title of the series—kicks off with an episode on America's favorite midlife crisis drama/family western comedy, City Slickers! In a sea of good performances, how fantastic is Daniel Stern in this movie? Was...
episode 616: The Expendables 2
On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza continues with the guys talking about the over-the-top sequel, The Expendables 2! How great is this cold open? Why did they insist on jamming all those 'cute' nostalgia lines into the script? And why do these kinds of movies treat Eastern Europe like some sort of eerie, faceless, Bermuda Triangle-type place? PLUS: A surprising edition of a popular show segment!
The Expendables 2 stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold...
episode 617: Cats & Dogs
On this episode, the 2022 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets all fun for the whole family with a polite, not-at-all crude conversation about the 2001 smash hit, Cats & Dogs! Is the CGI better in this film than in any of the prequels? How weird is it hearing Tobey Maguire voice this Aw Shucks gentle puppy? And are we to believe that Jeff Goldblum fathered this WASP child? PLUS: ScarJo and Colin discuss each other’s work!
Cats & Dogs stars Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins,...
episode 618: Despicable Me
On this episode, the 2022 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to Toon Town as we chat about the, let's just say, not-for-us sensation, Despicable Me!
Precisely how many other film properties are we borrowing from with all this? Why does no vocal performance here feel inspired in any way whatsoever? And what in the world is with our society's fascination with these Minions? PLUS: How about an episode of beloved cartoon Doug if written by sentient toilet, Scott...
