S10: Episode 480 - Raw Deal (with Jamelle Bouie)

Author: WHM Entertainment April 21, 2020 Duration: 1:49:48

On this week's episode, friend of the show and New York Times columnist, Jamelle Bouie hangs out with the gang in cyberspace to chat about the criminally underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger action thriller, Raw Deal! How many times has Arnold's character casually dropped cigars onto gas puddles to catch the bad guy? How is it that Arnold can just apply for a job to work in the mafia? And who throws a perfectly good cake? PLUS: Jesse Ventura gets snubbed by Arnold during Raw Deal casting!

Raw Deal stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kathryn Harrold, Sam Wanamaker, Paul Shenar, Robert Davi, Ed Lauter, Darren McGavin, and Steven Hill; directed by John Irvin.

For over a decade, the crew at We Hate Movies has been turning cinematic misfires into comedy gold. Each episode from WHM Entertainment finds a quartet of friends dissecting a famously bad film, from forgotten straight-to-video oddities to big-budget Hollywood disasters. The conversation is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on the funniest, most brutally honest film debate at a bar, where tangents about obscure actors and baffling plot holes are not just encouraged, they’re the main event. You’ll hear them mercilessly roast wooden dialogue, ill-conceived special effects, and questionable life choices made by characters and filmmakers alike, all while building a surprising affection for these flawed creations. This podcast thrives on the specific joy of tearing apart a terrible movie with your most sarcastic friends, celebrating failure as its own form of entertainment. It’s a consistently hilarious escape for anyone who finds more genuine laughs in a film’s awkward silence or a poorly rendered CGI monster than in a perfectly crafted Oscar winner. The chemistry between the hosts turns each episode into a freewheeling comedic breakdown, making even the most tedious movie an absolute delight to revisit through their critical and deeply silly lens. Tune in for a masterclass in comedic riffing, where the love for cinema is undeniable, even when-or especially when-the movies themselves are not.
