S12 Ep586: Free Guy

S12 Ep586: Free Guy

Author: WHM Entertainment January 4, 2022 Duration: 2:03:47

This week, the gang kicks off 2022 and The Worst of the Previous Year Month with a chat about the totally lackluster vidya game blockbuster, Free Guy! Why should we care about any of this when the movie itself tells us nothing matters? Why do so many people think a Doctor Doak-looking Ryan Reynolds is hot? And what in the world were they thinking with this Taika performance? PLUS: The guys go off on a lengthy Where's Waldo? jag! 

Free Guy stars Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Taika Waititi, and Channing Tatum; directed by Shawn Levy.

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.
