S8 Ep337: Episode 337 - Going in Style

Author: WHM Entertainment January 30, 2018 Duration: 1:24:06

On this week's episode, the gang brings (Some of) The Worst of 2017 month to a close with a conversation around Zach Braff's Going in Style! Why do these old fellas insist on debasing themselves with these trash films? Why opt for multiple "straight man" character actors and leave all the comedy to the single comedian in the main cast... of this comedy? And how long can the gang go without falling into the dreaded Arkin/Alda trap? PLUS: Coming this fall from WHM Entertainment, Alan Alda, Alan Arkin, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and a shit ton of other elderly character actors come together for the Expendables of geriatric comedies... Funny Funeral

Going in Style stars Alan Arkin, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Ann-Margaret, John Ortiz, Josh Pais, Matt Dillon, Joey King, Peter Serafinowicz, Maria Dizzia, Christopher Lloyd, Kenan Thompson, and Siobhan Fallon Hogan; directed by Zach Braff.

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.
