S10: Episode 494 - The Terminal

S10: Episode 494 - The Terminal

Author: WHM Entertainment July 14, 2020 Duration: 1:55:21

On this week's episode, the 2020 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza takes a layover to JFK to chat about Steven Spielberg's low stakes sap-fest, The Terminal! Why doesn't Tucci's character get his at the end? Why couldn't Catherine Zeta-Jones play an investigative reporter who breaks Viktor's story instead of a flight attendant that does nothing? And on what planet is this guy getting a New York City airport Burger King cheeseburger for 74 cents in 2004? PLUS: Memento, except it's ketchup packets instead of insulin!

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.
