MadScientistWorking posted:I think some of the best material the We Hate Movies people have done is on Blame it On Outer Space. For some reason I find the crews humor much more entertaining on that show. Any episode suggestions? I listened to war on xmas and Denver airport and although a big fan of We Hate Movies, I was not too huge on what I had heard.

Vakal posted:Last Action Hero is one of those movies that gets labeled as the worst movie ever made when first released, but gets slightly better in retrospect every time a newer, even shittier movie is released. The Last Action Hero is one of those films that I think of as being 75% of the way to a good movie. There's a lot of good stuff in it like Arnold parodying himself. Unfortunately other aspects of the film drag it down. The humor only works about half the time which makes me suspect that of the army of screenwriters that worked on the movie, one of the earliest was a genuinely funny guy and one of the last was a dull hack who tried to punch things up.

If you listen to Patton Oswalt's tales of punch-up sessions for lovely movies it's probably the other way around.

Illinois Smith posted:If you listen to Patton Oswalt's tales of punch-up sessions for lovely movies it's probably the other way around. Actually, Last Action Hero is the classic hollywood story of a studio buying something good and passing it off to so many writers that they completely ruin what made it attractive in the first place. quote:Penn and Adam Leff, two young graduates of Connecticut’s Wesleyan University, loved action movies. So in 1991 they decided to write an ambitious script, titled Extremely Violent, which would work both as a deconstruction of the genre and a kick-rear end romp in its own right. “The basic idea was: wouldn’t it be cool if a kid got sucked into a silly action movie and used his knowledge of the genre to subvert all the clichés?” explains Penn. “We dubbed it Reverse Purple Rose after we realised it was the opposite of Woody Allen’s Purple Rose Of Cairo, where a character comes out of the screen into the real world.” For research, the pair visited their local videostore. “We rented every action movie we could think of and made a checklist. Does the second-most evil bad guy die before or after the most evil bad guy? Does the hero have a Vietnam buddy? It was fun, although watching Steven Seagal movies one after another can be soul-crushing.” Extremely Violent, which can be found online, lives up to its name. In the opening sequence, invincible cop Arno Slater takes on a horde of hitmen in LA’s Beverly Center, blowing them away with a laser-sighted hand-cannon while merrily dispensing one-liners such as, “Shopping can be hell.” The twist is, all this is revealed to be a trailer for a movie within the movie. Later, after the teenage hero has been yanked into the actual film, he uses his knowledge of the story’s beats to help Arno through the mayhem. http://www.empireonline.com/features/last-action-hero

I try to get into Blame it On Outer Space but Eric is way too low key to be a host. Also the episode with the guy doing the terrible Jesse Ventura impression for the ENTIRE. EPISODE. made me give up.

That article is a great read about Hollywood at its dumbest ... And then at the end it claims that, nevertheless, LAH still blazed a trail for Hot Fuzz. What?

WampaLord posted:Jack Frost was an amazing episode. Dan Harmon was hysterical, as expected. I loved his whole "Writer projecting" theory, I was dying laughing. This is honestly surprising to me, enough so that I'm going to listen to the Jingle All The Way episode again and see if it was just off. Part of the reason why I like WHM so much is because of the chemistry. They laugh at each other's jokes constantly, riff off (and on) each other, and so on.

I have to say June on How Did This Get Made really sells the podcast. I think her best line so far is,"So tell me again. What exactly is a street fighter?"

How do you grow up in the 80s and 90s and never go to an arcade? I'm June's age and I lived in arcades and knew the location of every arcade game in a 20 mile radius

I would happily listen to a podcast/watch a show that was just about Paul & June: they seem like such a bizarre couple + it's so funny to me that you could easily listen to several episodes of HDTGM and never suspect that they're together. Wikipedia tells me that they got married in the Santa Barbara Museum Of Natural History and that Paul's best man was a Jack Nicholson impersonator.
