S8 Ep343: Episode 343 - The Jerky Boys

Author: WHM Entertainment March 6, 2018 Duration: 1:30:54

On this week's episode, the gang kicks off the 2018 Listener Request Month with one of the absolute most abhorrent things anyone has ever tried to call a a movie, The Jerky Boys! Who's the fool who thought two prank phone call-making schlubs would translate into charismatic film actors? How was Alan Arkin tricked into sleep-acting through this one? And what is with this Mickey Mouse mafia? PLUS: Max von Sydow gets in on the fun and makes a few prank calls of his own! 

The Jerky Boys stars John G. Brennan, Kamal Ahmed, Alan Arkin, William Hickey, Alan North, Brad Sullivan, James Lorinz, Suzanne Shepherd, and Vincent Pastore; directed by James Melkonian.

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.
