S10: Episode 493 - The Mask

S10: Episode 493 - The Mask

Author: WHM Entertainment July 7, 2020 Duration: 2:06:29

On this week's episode, the 2020 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to Edge City where the gang has a spirited chat about the 1994 Jim Carrey smash hit, The Mask! Why couldn't the studio let this be closer to the Hard R content of the comic? Was this film responsible for the return of swing music? And how exhausted must Jim Carrey have been for like, all of 1995-98? PLUS: Freddy Krueger and The Mask... the same person?

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.
