We Hate Movies

WHM Entertainment

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory. read less

Our Editor's Take

We Hate Movies is a comedy podcast that revisits awful films. Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, Chris Cabin, and Andrew Jupin host the show. The four friends met while living in Astoria, Queens. They enjoyed getting together to drink beer and watch bad movies. These hangouts evolved into this podcast.

For every episode, the cohosts choose a movie to scrutinize. The friends have a preference for notorious flops, adventure movies, and '80s and '90s blockbusters. They question the story arc of The Postman by Kevin Costner. The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift gets an episode. The zombie movie World War Z is too brainy for the four. They think Guardians of the Galaxy is the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The most famous scenes in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom get dissected. They call Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, one of its sequels, "wildly good." The characters in The Neverending Story incur the cohosts' wrath.

Listeners will appreciate the "On-Screen Live' episodes of We Hate Movies. The cohosts go to the present day and review movies just coming out. They do this while watching previews so listeners get their instant reactions. Discussions about the merits of the latest DC and Marvel releases get heated. The four share first impressions of The Flash and Expend4bles. They also look forward to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

People who listen for laughs might enjoy the episodes taped before a live audience. The friends sometimes visit comedy clubs around the country, making for lively interactions. The We Hate Movies cohosts will sometimes have guests on the show. Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert fit right in. They despise the live-action Garfield movie. Meanwhile, Ben Worcester has nothing good to say about Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

No movie is beneath their notice, and they delight in blowing up minor flaws. Big explosions excite them and lack of plot doesn't faze them. Fans of comedy podcasts may enjoy listening to We Hate Movies. People who love bad movies may relate to the show's cohosts.

S14 Ep733: The Rookie (1990)
“Once again, it’s Clint Eastwood as a cop, so he is costing everyone millions of dollars.” - Chris On this week’s We Hate Movies, our dumbest theme month yet, SHEENPRIL continues with a wild conversation on the totally outrageous Clint Eastwood movie, The Rookie! How hilariously inept is Raul Julia’s car thief mastermind? How incredible is the opening car carrier chase sequence? How great is this cast full of real-deal character actors? Did Sheen’s character really need to drive that motorcycle through the door? Couldn’t we get a little more Tom Skerritt and a lot more Lara Flynn Boyle? And what are the odds this movie was a re-worked “one last case” Dirty Harry film?  The Rookie stars Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, Pepe Serna, Marco Rodríguez, Xander Berkeley, Tony Plana, Paul Ben-Victor, and Tom Skerritt as Eugene Ackerman; directed by Clint Eastwood.

S14 Ep731: Major League
“Yes! Bring me more of that sharp profanity!” - Andrew on the Major League script On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off SHEENPRIL here on We Hate Movies with a chat about the beloved sports comedy, Major League! How bonkers is it that Tom Berenger’s Jake Taylor is straight-up stalking Rene Russo’s Lynn Wells throughout this whole movie? Was the real Willie Mays Hayes murdered by Wesley’s character and this guy just took his place at the tryouts? How many pounds of gravel did James Gammon have to eat throughout his life to get that majestic voice? And who knew Sheen’s Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn was going to be such a huge sensation? PLUS: Who wins in a fight between James Gammon and Rip Torn?!  Major League stars Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, Margaret Whitton, James Gammon, Rene Russo, Wesley Snipes, Charles Cyphers, Chelcie Ross, Dennis Haysbert, and Bob Uecker as Harry Doyle; directed by David S.

S14 Ep729: Rollerball (2002)
“He’s one of the worst to ever do it, folks…” - Steve on Chris Klein On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the terrible, hatchet job remake, Rollerball! Why do studios put so much trust in dumbass test screenings? Why did McTiernan think getting all the social commentary out of this remake was a smart idea? Why were they banking so hard on the charm of… ECW’s Paul Heyman? How many re-shoots does it take to sink a movie? And does this movie have one of the worst soundtracks of all time? PLUS: Orson Welles weighs in on the use of… NIGHT. VISION.  Rollerball stars Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn, Naveen Andrews, Oleg Taktarov, Andrew Bryniarski, and Paul Heyman as English Sports Announcer; directed by John McTiernan.

S14 Ep728: Indecent Proposal
“Ooo, yeah, throw a plate at me, Demi Moore!” - Eric On this week’s episode, the 2024 Listener Request Month continues with a convo all about the absolute trash-fest that is, Indecent Proposal! Why don’t we see the Moore/Redford sex scene? Why are we doing that flashback with Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore, using a bad wig and braces respectively, to comically play 19 year-olds? Why are we bothering with the lame, dueling, his & hers VoiceOver tracks? How cowardly were these filmmakers and studio execs who were scared to have Redford play an actual villain? And why didn’t we ever get the Seymour Cassel spin-off film, Shackleford?! PLUS: Using Robert Redford movie titles as sex slang, fun for all!  Indecent Proposal stars Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Robert Redford, Seymour Cassel, Oliver Platt, Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Connolly, Danny Zorn, Kevin West, and Rip Taylor as Mr. Langford; directed by Adrian Lyne.
