S11: Episode 537 - Poltergeist II: The Other Side

Author: WHM Entertainment March 16, 2021 Duration: 2:00:05

On this week's program, the tide starts to turn on the 2021 Listener Request Month as the guys chat about a movie that's almost kind of a movie: Poltergeist II: The Other Side! Wasn't it pretty silly of JoBeth's character to completely forget that not only does she have psychic abilities, but she actually comes from a long line of psychics?! Is Craig T. Nelson's character making Will Sampson's "Taylor" sleep outside? And is there any truth to the dreaded Poltergeist Curse? PLUS: What the heck happened with Craig T. Nelson's magic haircut?

Poltergeist II: The Other Side stars Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Will Sampson, Zelda Rubinstein, Oliver Robbins, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Julian Beck as "Kane;" directed by Brian Gibson.

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.
