S12 Ep618: Despicable Me

Author: WHM Entertainment June 28, 2022 Duration: 1:58:23

On this episode, the 2022 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to Toon Town as we chat about the, let's just say, not-for-us sensation, Despicable Me! 

Precisely how many other film properties are we borrowing from with all this? Why does no vocal performance here feel inspired in any way whatsoever? And what in the world is with our society's fascination with these Minions? PLUS: How about an episode of beloved cartoon Doug if written by sentient toilet, Scott Adams!? 

Despicable Me stars the voices of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Fisher; directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.

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.
