S11: Episode 534 - The Pest

Author: WHM Entertainment March 2, 2021 Duration: 1:41:30

On this week's episode, the 2021 Listener Request Month kicks off with one of the most requested titles in show history, The Pest! Listen as the guys try their best to make heads or tails of this dreadful, dreadful film! Can you tell it took three days to write the script? What is with all of these offensive impressions The Pest is doing? Did Leguizamo think he was doing a Groucho Marx-level performance? And can we not with all the "little specimen" stuff, Jeffrey Jones? PLUS: Did Leguizamo himself push for this film to be ripped from theaters after a week?

The Pest stars John Leguizamo, Jeffrey Jones, Freddy Rodriguez, Edoardo Ballerini, Aries Spears, Charles Hallahan, Tammy Townsend, Tom McCleister, and Joe Morton; directed by Paul Miller.

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.
