S12 Ep598: S1m0ne

Author: WHM Entertainment March 8, 2022 Duration: 1:50:14

On this week's episode, the 2022 Listener Request Month continues with a discussion around Andrew Niccol's Gattaca follow-up, S1m0ne! Why didn't they realize this concept had to go full-satire to work? Why did we need so much with the tabloid reporter characters? And are we to believe that Al Pacino's character becomes a CGI master all on his own in less than a year? PLUS: Pacino runs some lines from Home Alone! 

S1m0ne stars Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, Rachel Roberts, Winona Ryder, Jay Mohr, Evan Rachel Wood, and Elias Koteas; directed by Andrew Niccol.

Catch this guys this April when they play Boston, D.C., and Philly!

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.
