S11: Episode 517 - The Firm

S11: Episode 517 - The Firm

Author: WHM Entertainment November 24, 2020 Duration: 2:21:13

On this week's episode, the gang preps for Thanksgiving by offering up the final Brimsgiving episode—a bountiful chat all about the ridiculously long, totally engaging, Tom Cruise-starring, John Grisham legal thriller adaptation, The Firm! How close are these senior partners at The Firm to pulling actual Rosemary's Baby type stuff? How horny is Hackman's character supposed to get? And why was everyone dressed so formally to attend that steamboat museum tour? PLUS: The WHM thesis comes together as the guys try to juggle impressions of Gary Busey and Holly Hunter—two of their celebrated celebrity voices that sound exactly the same!

The Firm stars Wilford Brimley, Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Hal Holbrook, Terry Kinney, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, David Strathairn, Gary Busey, Steven Hill, and Jerry Hardin; directed by Sydney Pollack.

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.
