We Hate Movies

In this week's episode, the gang gets horrifically uncomfortable as they watch Ricki Lake get treated like human garbage in the twisted, 1989, 'romantic' 'comedy', Babycakes! Does Ricki Lake's character have the worst family in film history? Is a grocery store really a good place for a wedding? And let's face it, that was a date rape scene, right? Babycakes stars Ricki Lake, Craig Sheffer, Paul Benedict, John Karlen, and Betty Buckley; directed by Paul Schneider. Music - The Stalker - Piebald

In this week's episode, the gang concludes the 2011 Spooktacular with Lili Taylor and Liam Neeson in the haunted house movie to be out-done by all other haunted house movies ever, The Haunting! Was local mill baron, Hugh Crane, a pederast? Is Liam Neeson's 'sleep study' really all that ethical? And why does Lili Taylor insist on helping all these baby ghosts? The Haunting stars Lili Taylor, Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Owen Wilson; directed by Jan de Bont. Music - The Monster Mash - as performed by The Misfits

On the latest edition of WHM Interview, Eric chats with Rifftrax's Michael J Nelson. During the talk we hear about Michael's early days as a part of MST3k, how the Rifftrax team goes about creating an episode, and whether or not any film is fodder for riffing - or are some titles too sacred? You can check out more of Michael's work over at Rifftrax. Music - Science Fiction / Double Feature - as performed by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

In this week's episode, the Gang calls collect with some crappy teens and Satan in Robert Englund's 1989, phone-related, horror flick, 976-EVIL! What's with the exploding phone booth never being spoken about again after the opening scene? Just how useless is that reporter character? And hey, that's some filmography, Mr. Geoffreys! 976-EVIL stars Stephen Geoffreys, Patrick O'Bryan, Lezlie Deane, and J.J Cohen; directed by Robert Englund. Music - Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie

In this week's episode, the Gang continues the WHM 2011 Spooktacular by howling at the moon with Jack Nicholson and James Spader in Mike Nichols' 1994 werewolf snoozer, Wolf! Why does Jack Nicholson feel the need to prod a huge wolf with a stick after hitting it with his car? Did Christopher Plummer need to get so intense during scenes with Michelle Pfeiffer? And can we all agree that James Spader is the only one not phoning it in here? Wolf stars Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader; directed by Mike Nichols. Music - Howling at the Moon (Sha-La-La) - Ramones

On this week's episode, the Gang kicks off the WHM 2011 Spooktacular with Michael Ironside and William Shatner in the 1982, murderer-in-the-hospital flick, Visiting Hours! Did Ironside prepare for the role in any other way besides practicing his heavy breathing? Who frames the hate-mail they write? And where in the hell is Shatner for this whole flick? Visiting Hours stars Michael Ironside, Lee Grant, William Shatner, and Linda Purl; directed by Jean-Claude Lord. Music - Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

In this week's episode, the Gang battles alien, heroin dealers with Dolph Lundgren in the 1990, sci-fi thriller, I Come in Peace. Couldn't the production designers create a better looking weapon than a flying CD? Did this movie really need aliens? And why is Betsy Brantley's character still putting up with Dolph Lundgren's head-game bullshit? I Come in Peace stars Dolph Lundgren, Brian Benben, Matthias Hues, and Betsy Brantley; directed by Craig R. Baxley.

In this week's episode, the Gang heads to the forest moon of Endor and walks around in circles with the Ewoks and some shitty kids in 1984's The Ewok Adventure. Why does this movie refuse to acknowledge the other Stars Wars films? Could they have found two less-appealing child actors? And did no one catch that tree penis? The Ewok Adventure stars Warwick Davis, Eric Walker, Aubree Miller, and Tony Cox; directed by John Korty.

In this week's episode, the Gang climbs the deadly, corporate ladder with Michael Caine in the 1990, schlock thriller, A Shock to the System. Did it really cost that much money to get the rights to use the StairMaster name? Did Peter Riegert really deserve that shitty attitude from Michael Caine? And what is up with all these women with their terrible "poppa problems"? A Shock to the System stars Michael Caine, Peter Riegert, Elizabeth McGovern, and Will Patton; directed by Jan Egleson.

In the first ever WHM interview, the Gang chats with actor/storyteller/podcaster, Stephen Tobolowsky. Coming off our episode on the film Deadlock, we were lucky enough to get a few minutes with Stephen to chat about his experience on the film. Little did we know, the conversation would turn and suddenly we found ourselves wrapped up in a We Hate Movies / Tobolowsky Files crossover of sorts. The talk wasn't what we expected, but thankfully something so much more. If you're not familiar with Stephen's work on The Tobolowsky Files, get on it. It's one of the best podcasts out there now and it's sure to suck you in from episode one.

In this week's episode, the Gang lights up creepy cigars with George Burns as he switches bodies with his dolt of a grandson in the 1988 comedy, 18 Again! Does it ever end with George Burns and the dick jokes? Is a Weasel-less Pauly Shore a Pauly Shore worth your time? And how would you feel if your grandfather used your body for sex? Wait, what? 18 Again! stars George Burns, Charlie Schlatter, Jennifer Runyon, and Tony Roberts; directed by Paul Flaherty. Music - When I Get Old - Descendants Tweet

In this week's episode, the Gang goes back to school with James Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr. in the 1987, at-risk youth, high school drama, The Principal! How is James Belushi's character allowed to be around children at all? Does running a high school drug trade make you a badass criminal? And where the hell is Louis Gossett Jr. the whole time? The Principal stars James Belushi, Louis Gossett Jr., Rae Dawn Chong, and Michael Wright; directed by Christopher Cain. Music - Authority Song - Jimmy Eat World Tweet

In this exclusive WHM deleted scene, the Gang spends a few minutes ragging on the incredibly unnecessary summer sequel, The Hangover Part II. Why couldn't Justin Bartha get a bigger role than the monkey? Are there any new jokes? Most importantly, is Ken Jeong getting naked again?! SPOILERS AHEAD! The Hangover Part II stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, and Ken Jeong; directed by Todd Phillips. Music - Drinkin' - Reel Big Fish Tweet

In this week's episode, the Gang goes on the lam with Rutger Hauer while he and Mimi Rogers make a whole lot of boring pit stops on the way to nothing in 1991's "futuristic", sci-fi thriller, Deadlock! Why weren't there more head explosions? Just how good of a Navy SEAL could Rutger Hauer have been if he can't take on one, lousy guy? And will we ever have coed prisons like all these sci-fi flicks set in the future tell us we will? Deadlock stars Rutger Hauer, Mimi Rogers, James Remar, and Stephen Tobolowsky; directed by Lewis Teague. Music - Jailbreak - Dropkick Murphys Tweet

On this Side Order of Sleaze, the Gang hikes through the woods in search of Bigfoot - and maybe even a recommendable schlock-fest! - with the 1980 Sasquatchploitation flick, Night of the Demon! Why is this group of students so hell-bent on finding the monster? Would Bigfoot really rip a man's junk off? And how much of the cast and crew was paid in weed? Night of the Demon stars Michael Cutt, Joy Allen, Melanie Graham, and Shane Dixon; directed by James C. Wasson. Music - One Things Leads to Another - The Fixx Want to buy the flick? Head over to Twisted Anger for this and tons of other amazingly sleazy and hard-to-find titles! Tweet
