S12 Ep593: Blown Away (with Jamelle Bouie)

Author: WHM Entertainment February 15, 2022 Duration: 2:02:15

On this week's episode, the guys welcome back friend of the show, New York Times columnist, and co-host of the Unclear and Present Danger podcast, Jamelle Bouie! It's sort of an unofficial WLM episode as everyone gathers to chat about the totally outrageous 1994 action film, Blown Away! How great is Tommy Lee Jones' Batman villain boat hideout? Would that bar really have hired Mike Starr? And what is going on with everyone's accent in this movie?! PLUS: Watch out for that exploding garlic bread! 

Blown Away stars Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, Suzy Amis, Forest Whitaker, Lloyd Bridges, and Ruben Santiago-Hudson as Blanket; directed by Stephen Hopkins.

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.
