We Hate Movies

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 King! Firestarter stars Drew Barrymore, David Keith, Martin Sheen, Heather Locklear, Art Carney, Freddie Jones, Louise Fletcher, Moses Gunn, and the great George C. Scott; directed by Mark L. Lester.  Check out the WHM Merch Store -- featuring new WHAT IF Donna?, Mortal Kombat & Bean Dinner designs!

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. Robinson, Joseph Cotton, Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Connors, and Brock Peters; directed by Richard Fleischer.

On this week's episode, the guys are chatting about the incredibly dumb viddya game adaptation, Max Payne! How wild is it that he's a down-on-his-luck detective who also has dead family baggage—what are the odds? Why would anyone do this Valkyr drug recreationally? And how in the world does Beau Bridges not get the Credit Hammer at the top? PLUS: Get ready for the next big Nintendo craze, Super Mario's Hot-Hot Girls!  Max Payne stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Chris O'Donnell, Donal Logue, Amaury Nolasco, and Olga Kurylenko; directed by John Moore.

On this week's episode the gang finds themselves in a bit of a We Like Movies situation as they chat about the outrageously entertaining Paul W.S. Anderson film, Event Horizon! How great is Larry Fishburne in this movie? Should they have just gone all-in and made this another Hellraiser-in-space film? Why can't anyone just say it's Hell they're going inside? And look out, we've got ourselves another Solaris-esque dead wife here! PLUS: How different would this movie have been if Sam Neill's role went to one of its earlier candidates—Arnold!  Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Sean Pertwee, and Jason Isaacs; directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.  Catch the guys LIVE next week when they play Boston, D.C., and Philly!
