On this week's episode, we're bringing you one of the nights from our recent October run of shows: Taken live in Chicago! Does Liam Neeson dream in VHS quality? Why don't these rich kids just take a car service? And what 17 year-old girl plots to follow U2 around Europe... in 2008? PLUS: Just in time for the holiday season, give the gift that shows your care—a gift card to Zappers! 

Taken stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Leland Orser, Jon Gries, Holly Valance, Olivier Rabourdin, Arben Bajraktaraj, and Xander Berkeley as Stuart; directed by Pierre Morel.

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.
