How Did this Get Made annoys the gently caress out of me. The sad thing is I loved Paul Scheer in Human Giant and The League but gently caress him when it comes to HDTGM.

Lol then don't listen to it??

I don't now but I did give the podcast two to three chances when it was promoted on Sklarbro Country.

How Did This Get Made is literally my second favorite podcast. They get a little bogged down sometimes, or all the time, but I enjoy how they play off each other.

Yeah, I like HDTGM a lot. Some of the criticisms I've seen around here aren't even inaccurate, they just don't bother me as they do some people. On an internet that is over-saturated with vlog critics who aren't very funny and act like every single movie they watch is the worst, most infuriating thing ever, it's nice to have a voice that's more joyful about bad movies and piloted by actual comedians.

I find this hard to believe. I can understand liking it, but I think you need to browse some threads in the forum and listen to some more podcasts. Have you tried the Reality Show Show that people are hyping in the Earwolf thread yet? Those were solid recommendations.

The biggest problem with HDTGM is them SCREAMING about poo poo.

"Hey guys remember how so and so did that thing and"

"I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW OH MY GOD!"

Jesus christ calm the gently caress down.

Twister was loving amazing if only because of their impressions of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Especially the scene where he blasts porn audio.

I'm listening to their The Principal episode and I didn't realize a Jim Belushi impression could be so funny.

Another great We Hate Movies episode is Poison Ivy. We get to hear them bemoan the lack of the Dog Oscars as well as their imitations of super creepy Tom Skerrit.

I could listen to Jason Mantzoukas talk for hours so I have no problem with someone saying its their favorite podcast. I love it and unlike the other podcasts in this thread, it has perspectives that aren't just a bunch of nerdy white guys in a circle jerk. Its a great show with a good enery and actual thought. If it's not for you, I mean that's fine, i'm sure your personal problems are pretty serious.

I only listen to two podcasts, this and Doug Loves Movies. I tried Comedy Bang Bang and I just couldn't get into it, I just want people to come on and give funny interviews, the characters don't do it for me. I could only listen to Nerdist for a couple episodes because the two co-hosts or whatever are constantly talking over the guests and ruining jokes so I didn't enjoy that either.

HDTGM talks about movies which I enjoy, they all work off each other really well, they make fun of each other all the time, and like Politcalrancor said I could also listen to Jason Mantzoukas talk for hours. It wouldn't even matter what it was, if he did a podcast I'd listen to it because he's literally hilarious and has a crazy laugh.

Edit: People like different things. Finding someone enjoying something that's different from you "hard to believe" is super weird.

I listen to two bad movie podcasts at the moment, one being How Did This Get Made. Which I enjoy for mostly Jason Manzukas. The other is Yeah It's That Bad because I feel it's the podcast my friends and I would record; full of silly injokes that haven't been funny in ages and teenage maturity on dirty sounding words and phrases. It definitely has a problem actually reviewing things and feels not that deep at all but it's enjoyable to listen to them recount the whole movie.

I decided to try out Yea, It's That Bad since you're like the third person I've seen who described it as basically that, I randomly picked I Saw The Devil since I love that movie.

So far these guys have done a great job talking about how well shot the opening is, the great cast, asked if Korea knows the Bang Bros, and are analyzing nut shots as a scientific concept.

Yea, this is pretty great, thanks!

I'm a big fan of We Hate Movies, and wanted to mention that Judge Dredd is another of their best episodes. Overall I think "Battle for Endor" was their absolute best, especially when they describe the final battle as "the orc's Vietnam."

Just checked YITB on your recommendation. Thanks for that - it's pretty entertaining! I always love finding a new podcast that I enjoy with a big backlog to work through. I do wish whichever of the guys who did the editing would lighten up on removing the verbal fillers, though. Everything's a bit run together giving some of the conversations a sort of Simpsons-esque "so I grab-HER-sweet can-" editing vibe.

Another great We Hate Movies is their Pippi Longstocking episode. They really hated that fucken movie and I loved the idea of Pippi Longstocking as brought to you by AMC. Another great one is One Magical Christmas. Their German Santa still cracks me up.

The circular, twisted logic of Sleepaway Camp basically gave HDTGM a free pass for life from me. I know it's all their worst habits (yelling, lots of time spent discussing the most minute poo poo) but the reactions are so goddamn real I can't hate it.

I'll chime in with Alcohollywood. It's a drinking game movie podcast that tends to hit about as often as it misses. There's some actual mixology talent on display here, but they tend to get a little holier than thou with their movie choices and their attitudes towards films in general. Can't say I totally support anyone who builds up Rubber and Throw Momma From the Train, then slams Labyrinth and Neverending Story.

I'm the cohost/co-creator of Alcohollywood, and I wanna chime in to say that we've gotten a lot better in the intervening episodes that OK Octopus mentioned in this post - we do good, I promise :smith:. We've got a persistent thread here in CineD where I post new episodes/answer questions, and we got nominated this past year for Best Food/Drink Podcast at the People's Choice Podcast Awards!

As for other bad film podcasts, I can definitely echo the sentiment that HDTGM gets progressively more irritating from episode to episode, especially during the long stretches of time where they lose sight of the real movie and just blather on conversationally. Still, they do have quite a few gems, and I still love Jason Mantzoukas.

I also want to recommend Rewatchability (http://rewatchability.com/), a great podcast based out of Canada that focuses on nostalgia-based films in general; they've got great chemistry and maintain a wonderful energy, without it being hyperactive or overly wacky. Their Fifth Element and Hard Target episodes, in particular, are really good.

It not only doesn't matter if you've seen it or not, it may make you want to see the movie despite (or because of) what they've said. I ordered Invisible Child a bit ago because of the episode of WHM on it. I never thought I'd have a Lifetime movie on DVD but there you go!

It's pretty simple, really; those were, respectively, a very early episode and our horribly-done 50th episode (where we had too many guests and too much alcohol), and for some reason those movies didn't resonate with us whenever we watched it. Like for reals, our Neverending Story episode is a nightmare we shan't soon be repeating. As for Labyrinth, Jared gets a li'l cranky about nostalgic movies, especially when he hadn't seen them as a child (he waited till he was 18 to watch it, and I had no really close relationship to Labyrinth though I had seen it as a child).

I will say I'm totally peeved at you for doing that whole Steven King somekindofgoblin running gag AND THEN NOT DOING MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! Holy Hell, how in the god did you miss that? ARGH!

The Flop House has done the OogieLove movie. I haven't listened to it yet, but... Jesus Christ, I'm tingling with anticipation.

I'm going to start a running tally of times during How Did This Get Made where they go insane and start reading things into movies that are totally ridiculous. I imagine they were joking when claiming that Dan Akyroyd's nose was literally a penis, but the whole tangent about Little Debul and Bobo being demons was... whaaat? They're clearly just inbred freaks, guys.

I'm listening to it now and it's one of their better episodes. No crazy screaming over each other. No missing basic plot points. It's everyone basically going :stonk: for the entire episode.

Plus Nothing But Trouble deserves that type of reaction. That movie is loving nuts.

We Hate movies had that reaction with One Magic Christmas. They were in complete shock over how it was a Christmas movie and how insane the movie was.

Speaking of how astoundingly unfunny Dan Akroyd is, have any of these podcast ever done CaddyShack II? I don't remember seeing it on any of them and I think I'd remember it. I hate that movie with a passion. It may not technically be as bad as some of Akroyd's other films, if only because he has a catalog full of poo poo, but he is probably the worst thing in the movie and I think it stands out since the original Caddyshack was so good.

The We Hate Movies gang is planning on getting to Caddyshack II at some point. They were asked about it on Twitter today and said it was on the list.
