There are lots of podcasts about movies and this is the thread for them.

:siren: **** UPDATE **** Scroll to the end of this post for some movie podcasts from our own SomethingAwful goons! Give them a try! :siren:

We Hate Movies http://www.whmpodcast.com/http://www.whmpodcast.com/

The 47 Reagans posted:

The hosts (four-ish guys in NYC) are both funny and pretty informative, and they tend to talk about movies that are a little less covered by the other bad movie podcasts. Any episode featuring a Jim Belushi, Michael Caine, Wilford Brimley, or a Gary Busey movie is a good starting point.

bobservo posted:

We Hate Movies is fantastic. I initially didn't think I was going to like it because the main host (Andrew Jupin) plays up his anger a little too much, but they do a great job of staying on topic and mining the tiniest logical fallacies out of any movie.

OK Octopus posted:

I really love We Hate Movies. Their big celebratory episode with Crystal Skull where they had all the hosts on at once was amazing.

Almost all the episodes have something to recommend, but here're my choices for their best works:

Hider in the House, Deadly Friend, Ewoks: the Battle for Endor, Friday the 13th (their Star Trek tangent in this one is amazing), Silver Bullet, Invisible Child, and Cocoon.

brainsforbrains posted:

We Hate Movies is by far my favorite one in the list that I listen to regularly. The guys have great chemistry and actually know what they're talking about. However, like bobservo mentioned, Andrew Jupin does play up the indignant anger at overused or corny tropes (it sounds like he's impersonating Lewis Black in his more breathless rants) but hey, nobody's perfect.

I'd put this one up there with the best of all the comedy podcasts, even the ones that aren't about lovely movies. Elliott, Stuart and the house cat are hilarious. And there's a guy named Dan too. They discuss a crappy movie, take listener mail, and then recommend some movies that don't suck. Of all the comedy podcasts I listen to, this is the one I download and listen to immediately when I see a new episode pop up on the RSS feed.

Flython posted:

The chemistry between them all is just amazing. They all play their parts perfectly and it just works so good. The recent Total Recall episode had me rolling when they discussed the child of Sharon Stone and Michael Ironside. So glad this forum introduced them to me. I don't think they've had a bad guest host either. And their most regular guest Hallie Haglund is just great.

As always you should be watching The Invisible Maniac, Castle Freak and Head of The Family.

I've recommended this podcast a lot in this forum because I've derived a lot of enjoyment from it over the years. Just to be clear:

1) it is not always about "bad" movies (though more often than not, it is) -- it runs the gauntlet from childhood classics (The Dark Crystal) to obscure old sci-fi flicks (The Tingler) to famously terrible movies (Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever) and everywhere in between.

2) it is not hosted by comedians; the main host seems like an uber-nerd who pronounces Japanese words correctly and has an encyclopedic knowledge of kung fu flicks, and a lot of the time his co-host will be somebody from an anime website or whatever. Frequent co-host Sean provides a nice contrast, though.

3) it is not, in fact, a comedy podcast -- although the tone is lighthearted, they are not out to mock bad movies, but to give honest opinions about them, and frequently find some aspect of even the most awful movies to enjoy.

If you're getting into this podcast I'd reccomend you check out any episode with Daryl Sarat (SA Goon) or the members of Fast Karate for the Gentlemen, Dave and Joel.

Film Sack https://filmsack.com is probably my favorite one of these. They don't go out of their way to review movies that they probably wouldn't have liked, but there's still a lot of common ground between Filmsack and Flophouse. They aren't as funny, but they're a little more informative.

I'd also like to recommend Yeah It's That Bad; the guys don't have the deepest insight into movies, but they have an amazing chemistry and the show is extremely well-edited (which rarely happens on even professional podcasts). The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie episode is probably a good place to start with them.

brainsforbrains posted:

I've listened to all the available episodes of Yeah It's That Bad too but I don't really like it as much. The guys can be pretty funny at times but they seem kind of childish to me, and I don't mean their brand of humor. It's just that that sound like 13 year olds that speak in a weird, stilted pattern because one of them actually goes through and edits out the pauses and umms. It's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard but I'm crazy for bad movie discussion so I listen to it even though I can't give it better than a 3/5.

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.

Can't stand it. These are the fakest, most insufferable hosts I've probably ever heard. Everything is so forced, especially the laughter. June Diane Raphael's in particular makes me want to drive an icepick through her brain. "EhHEH EhHEH EhHEH"


Whoolighams posted:

I like the show when I know the movie, and I really enjoy the live episodes, but the three of them waaay overuse the word "obsessed" about nearly every thing brought up and the forced laughter makes their over-the-top criticism seem even more hyperbolic.

brainsforbrains posted:

How Did This Get Made was cool at first but their movie choices and guests put me off it.

Skywalker OG posted:

And, I know some people don't like How Did This Get Made, but I'm a fan of the show because they exhibit a boundless energy to discuss whatever movie they talk about. The Filmsack and Flophouse hosts will go off on a tangent if they don't like the movie very much, but HDTGM keeps on-topic surprisingly well when you think about who's involved.


Bad Movie Friends http://http://bmfcast.com/

NotWearingPants posted:

Bad Movie Friends is another bad movie podcast. I've only listened to it a few times when I'm out of other comedy podcasts to listen to. It didn't make much of an impression on me, but I didn't completely hate it either.

So I guess it's time I post this here, hope that's kosher. I asked you guys for some advice not too long ago on what you're looking for in a bad movie podcast and I hope I didn't let you down too much.

http://netflixmartyrs.blogspot.com/

We only watch films that are easily accessible (90% of the time, movies on Netflix, occasionally something on Youtube or Amazon) and talk about whether you should queue it up or not. When it came to tone we really wanted it to sound like four friends drinking beers and bullshitting after watching a movie. It's a bit rough quality wise in my opinion because we record straight from Skype for now (and forever because we're scattered across the world). I do all the editing and try to balance a pretty intense grad program, which isn't much of an excuse but it's a temporary reason why I'm not having everyone record their own strands. This will happen eventually though. I think over time the podcast will develop more "segments" and find its own identity. Feedback would be appreciated and I'm pretty good at taking criticism. :)

Dancing Potato posted:

I hate to toot my own horn in here but this seems like a good opportunity to say that I have a 'bad movie podcast' that I started partially in response to some of the criticisms in this thread (ones that I shared as a podcast listener).

I got sick of hearing about the same bad movies over and over again with the same exaggerated responses to everything, so I made a rule: the movies have to be obscure enough to never have been covered by another podcast OR any of the AV Club's similar columns. Often they have less than ten external reviews on IMDB, although both of these rules have been broken in the past.

It's over here:

Why Does It Exist?

I had a regular cohost for the first 40 episodes or so; now I have a rotating guest.

I've been checking out We Hate Movies more often thanks to the recommendations in this thread. I can't match the voices with the pics on their website yet, but one of the guys sounds exactly like Paul Scheer to me, which is kind of strange considering he's actually on How Did This Get Made?

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.

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

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it, but I didn't think it was one of their better ones. Hopefully I just lowered your expectations and you enjoy it more than I did.

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.

Mob posted:

Have you seen the movie because it's a penis. If I posted a picture I'd get probated because someone would report me for posting a dong.

Google image search confirms this. Trust me.

Never too many bad movie podcasts. Focus on the material - have plenty of trivia. You could try a gimmick, but be sure the movies come first. Also, don't start unless you're relatively sure you can update on a regular schedule and be prepared to take criticism, because people on the internet love getting pissed off at things they get for free.

I feel the opposite way. I don't really care much about the movies. I listen for the comedy, in the same way that I listen to the Reality Show Show and I never watch reality shows. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with OK Octopus' sentiments and I'm sure other people may feel the same way as he does. People obviously listen for different reasons, but if you want listeners who feel like I do make it funny or don't bother.

The WHM "Taking Care of Business" episode got me thinking... has Jim Belushi ever done a single thing that could be considered good or funny? I scanned his imdb page quickly and didn't see anything, but there's just so much there. How does a person like this continue to get work?

bobservo posted:

And the observation that Adam Sandler is the new Jim Belushi totally killed me. Is Mr. Deeds his Taking Care of Business?

I think that saying Adam Sandler is the new Dan Akroyd might be more accurate. Both were on SNL and arguably did some funny things earlier in their careers, though those things haven't usually held up as funny over time. Both parlayed that into film careers where they repeatedly played essentially the same character. They've both been given the leeway to create and direct their own projects. They both continued to create and star in films long after they stopped being funny.

I don't know who the new Jim Belushi would be and I think he might be a one-of-a-kind anomaly. The closest I could think of might be Tom Arnold, but Tom Arnold has actually been in a decent movie (True Lies) and he's not exactly "new". It seems pretty difficult to find someone who has never done anything good.

DrVenkman posted:

I really think it's a shame that The Flophouse and HDTGM both get regular reviews in the AV Club on a weekly basis while WHM and others are ignored, particularly since it's not like either of those need the help. A few of the commentators mention it each week but it never gets any traction. It's worse when one (or both) of those have a lovely week and they still do a write-up.

I don't follow the A/V club. I follow this thread. So I kind of feel the opposite way since WHM seems so loved here and The Flophouse doesn't seem to get mentioned very often.

Well, we've kind of talked out the WHM vs. Flophouse vs. HDTGM thing and found that we don't all have the same taste.

Not that I want to stifle discussion or anything, but maybe we should have a "best of the rest" conversation. Are you guys listening to any of these other ones on a regular basis? Which do you recommend and why? How about the goon podcasts? Anyone checking those out?

I tried to give "Bad Movie Friends" another try the other day and turned it off after around 10-15 minutes. It was kind of like a much less funny WHM.

Maybe I should give it another chance. Perhaps I wasn't in the right mood for it.

I particularly thought they missed some opportunities in describing/mocking the gang members. They touched on it, but I thought there was much more comedy there to be mined.

I also think they could use a little more structure, sort of like the Flophouse has. It often devolves into three (or four) people talking over each other much like HDTGM. Something simple like the Flophouses' "this guy goes over the plot summary" goes a long way towards keeping thing coherent.

The thing that I like about WHM and HDTGM is that the focus is on the movie. With WHM, they go through the whole movie and will stop to break down why something doesn't work or doesn't make sense or whatever, and HDTGM is a bunch of people just trying to make personal sense of the movie they watched. Flophouse just feels like the focus isn't on the movie, it's on the guys talking about the movie.

I agree and feel exactly the opposite about it. I listen to comedy podcasts for the comedy. I don't care about the movies in general, and as far as bad movie podcasts go, I consider the movies to be nothing more than a comedic device. To me, The Flophouse is the best because it is the funniest.

A good example of this is the U talking U2 To Me or Analyze Phish podcasts. I am not really interested in the bands at all, but they are two of my favorite podcasts. Or the Reality Show Show: I wouldn't ever even think about watching a reality show, but the Reality Show Show was great.
