S11: Episode 555 - Wild Things (with Angelica Jade Bastién)

Author: WHM Entertainment June 29, 2021 Duration: 2:08:58

This week on WHM, the gang is hanging at HeadGum's Brooklyn studio with Vulture writer and good friend of the show, Angelica Jade Bastién, talking about the totally great Wild Things! How many VHS tapes of this film were completely worn down in the late '90s? Why did they bother with all the explainer scenes post-THE END? Was Bacon's third act hog reveal really an accident? And how great is Bill Murray in this movie? PLUS: Who else remembers one of the most infamous NYPD members of all time, the Cannibal Cop?!

Wild Things Denise Richards, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon, Theresa Russell, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Robert Wagner, Jeff Perry, and Bill Murray; directed by John McNaughton.

Catch WHM on tour this fall, hopefully!

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.
