I think they intentionally choose more stuff they're enthusiastic about for Patreon, whereas the regular episodes can be more of a mixed bag. I've been watching all of their commentaries since before Patreon, I highly recommend them. They do the entire Twilight series while doing power hours and it rules.

Acht posted:I never did a commentary watch, kinda curious about that too now. I really liked their Rambo 2008 commentary, they're so happy to just be watching a dumb hyperviolent mess. Their Revenge of the Sith commentary is also really funny, Eric spends a lot of the time pointing out the shockingly high number of CGI lamps there are.

Still everything on Patreon has been worth the price of admission and Mel Rowe is great.

Why are they doing The Terminal? I'm rewatching it now and this movie's not bad. It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's okay to like a movie!

I'd say the biggest selling point is that they're really good at riffs and all, so when they go into an extended joke about scuzzy catholic schools not letting you buy lunch you forget that Terminal was mainly just a nothing movie that was carried by Tom Hanks being Tom motherfucking Hanks so there's just not much more to talk about once you get past 'this whole thing is dumb and Tucci's character is weird'. Also the Patreon is gold, and yea even if you're not super into the movies being done I'd say Melrose90210 has been gold regardless.

The Terminal is one of those movies you watch once and never revisit. It was fine. I didn't regret watching it, I almost never regret watching Tom Hanks. It's weird that the guys don't seem to like him very much? They don't like his feel good movies at least, they've done three on the show. Have they ever covered a Tom Hanks movie they liked?

yea they mainly 'dislike' that bad movies get an instant five points just because of how loving charismatic and charming Hanks is, that's hardly disliking him. I think they pretty clearly liked Castaway considering how they were comparing the two. Whomst among us haven't fallen into the Hanks Trap?

Cast Away. Andrew especially likes that movie. Also, they are very clear in the Forrest Gump episode that the problem in the movie is not Tom Hanks; that he delivered an incredible performance and dragged a subpar script over the finish line.

It's going to be weird when they go back and re-do episodes about specific movies. It's inevitable, right? They could re-do the first 150 or so episodes with all 4 guys and make them all 2 hours and it's be great.

The only thing I can remember Andrew not being on was a recent On-Screen for something, maybe a Star Wars or Marvel. Otherwise, I do not recall listening to a Prime or any other episode without him.

I think it's just that this started as just a fun hobby, so often one of them just couldn't be on. As long as three of them could be there, they could do an episode. At some point, though, they decided to make this "a thing" and not just a hobby and make sure they were all on every episode. Andrew, as the guy who runs the thing, was on every prime episode, as far as I can remember.

i've listened to these guys almost since the beginning and gone through phases and different length of commutes for jobs that had me sometimes listening to an episode a day and re-listening to a lot. Kind of embarrassed to admit that I probably listened to the Time Cop episode like 7 different times, and others (not even really "stand out" ones, like Stay Tuned) just as much. And yet here I am refreshing the patreon waiting on that Indiana Jones episode. I get nostalgic about Indiana Jones the same way people do about Star Wars, I think. I rewatched Last Crusade the other night with the wife and I was surprised how comedic it was. I didn't remember it being so loving funny. Tank scene is still great. I watched with subtitles and caught a lot more Indy mumble snark that I realized. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Jul 15, 2020 |

He made his big return on the live episode for Jupiter Ascending, which is extra special to me since it had been a personal "Stay Tuned" since the moment I started listening to WHM. Sean Beean, lmao. I can't believe I've been listening to this podcast for like 8 years. I've probably listened to the Three Men and a Baby episode a dozen times. They're all amazing Twitter follows if anybody's not on that, btw.

I've been listening since someone on SA linked their Food Fight episode. You could still find all of the old episodes on the regular feed back then. I can't believe there was a point in my life where I was so starved for podcasts I would listen to every back episode of a show.

Haha i thought for a second Raiders was getting a We Hate Movies and it almost made sense Rewatching it recently as someone who loved all three of those movies more than anything as a little kid...it was rough. Even if you could excise the Unrepentant Pedophile Abuser aspect to Indie, I had forgotten how much of the series was Roger Moore Bond Slapstick Escapades. There's plenty of dope action and horror still but goddamn that entire Egypt chase/kidnapping is COMPLETELY worthless and painful to watch EXCEPT for the iconic swordsman shooting scene. I forgot how much of the movies had just like, Lame Slapstick Roger Moore Bond sections. Makes sense I loved it as a kid. Haha the mostly useless woman is hitting him with a frying pan!!!

Marion: I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it! Jones: You knew what you were doing LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP This is the central relationship of the film. It's hard for it to not ruin the entire film, honestly. It's the Adventures of Blame it on Rio and Lucas wanted her even younger. Thank god there are still some good sequences (opening, a few Nazi fights, face melting)

Yeah, the Indy/Marion thing is definitely cringy. Based on their earlier talks though, it could have been much, much worse.quote:Lawrence Kasdan: I like it if they already had a relationship at one point. Because then you don't have to build it.

Near perfect??? Even without the pedophile stuff the entirety of that Egypt chase/kidnapping with Marion is just the lamest HAHAH ARABS HAHAHA MONKEY HAHAHA WOMEN TRYIN TO FIGHT slapstick comedy Benny Hill bullshit. It's just bad. It feels like James Bond cutting room material. Him shooting the swordsman guy is the only entertaining part of that whole sequence. Again, it makes sense that I adored it as a little kid.

Tbf it's only five minutes but looord it felt like it dragged and i guess id forgotten how much Indiana Jones lapsed into Corny James Bond sometimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EJU0lXgdTI ^^^ This is bad and lame and boring sorry ^^^ Indiana Jones trying to be zany slapstick is just embarassing. It's like the live action Aladdin movie. 🤣 and so is basically everything with John Rhys-Davies hth. The Nazi killing, most of the action sequences, and horror though? Fantastic.

Lucas being a total creepazoid when they were tossing around ideas doesn't mean that's what they went with for the final product. Even in the conversation it seems like Spielberg is trying to steer him back to something somewhat less creepy, so in the end, they may have settled on "college student" and we don't have those notes. Who knows. The movie leaves it ambiguous. I've never done the math on how their ages work out, because, as far as I know, there's no way to know how old the characters of Marion and Indy actually are in Raiders. But yeah, those notes are hosed up, and Lucas just keeps burying himself the more he talks, and it's really bad and gives a terrible "back story" for Indy's character, if that's how you choose to look at it. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Jul 15, 2020 |

Speaking of my cinematic axes to grind i really appreciated We Hate Movies calling out 300 (in their 300th episode) as possibly one of the most racist films of the last 20 years because lord knows plenty of goons and internet shitbirds and real life nerds would constantly try to gaslight and pose my extreme hatred for that film as me taking things too seriously or personally or "it's MEANT to be (racist) propaganda/it's not real history/it's making a critical statement on Bush era politics" or whatever white male nerd blahblahblahing. We're not even TOUCHING the ableism and homophobia of the film. Just on the racism and colorism alone, it's one of the most disgusting films of all time. So many excuses for that stupid movie, and it's amazing that Snyder gets so much online bashing but rarely for what is without a doubt his most lovely and virulently evil film (even if you can blame Frank Miller for the source material). A lot of the time the same people who rant about his DC films generally love 300, and it checks out because they suck poo poo. It's garbage and if you like it you are also garbage.
