S12 Ep608: Soylent Green

Author: WHM Entertainment May 3, 2022 Duration: 2:06:22

On this week's episode, the gang travels back to the early 1970s to chat about a total foodie film set in 2022, Soylent Green! How fantastic is Edward G. Robinson in this movie? Who let Heston wear that hat the whole time? Could we get a few more scenes with that arcade machine? And what's going in that gross stew that Robinson cooks up? PLUS: Did Heston's character come of age during the early-aughts' NYC indie music revival?

Soylent Green stars Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Joseph Cotton, Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Connors, and Brock Peters; directed by Richard Fleischer.

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.
