S12 Ep607: Max Payne

Author: WHM Entertainment April 26, 2022 Duration: 1:46:19

On this week's episode, the guys are chatting about the incredibly dumb viddya game adaptation, Max Payne! How wild is it that he's a down-on-his-luck detective who also has dead family baggage—what are the odds? Why would anyone do this Valkyr drug recreationally? And how in the world does Beau Bridges not get the Credit Hammer at the top? PLUS: Get ready for the next big Nintendo craze, Super Mario's Hot-Hot Girls! 

Max Payne stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Chris O'Donnell, Donal Logue, Amaury Nolasco, and Olga Kurylenko; directed by John Moore.

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.
