They have pretty distinct voices but for whatever reason it can be hard to really "identify" people using only their voices, I couldn't tell who was who for a while. It doesn't help to look at their pictures either because they all look the same. But eventually you'll get there. I actually think Andrew's pretty unfunny, but I love Eric and Steve. Chris is pretty good too.

Man I listened to a few early Yeah It's That Bad to see if it's a a decent alternative once I finish burning through the WHM backlog and... eh. So far it's like half the length but feels twice as long, they're really good at talking a lot without saying anything interesting. If anything it really drives home how despite the casual vibe of WHM, they really know their stuff, both as film buffs and entertainers.

TetsuoTW posted:I'm really starting to appreciate that one guy on a lot of comedy podcasts, the one who's not the loudest or the most jokey, but who has a really understated way of just dropping amazing jokes almost off-handedly, to the point that sometimes no-one even notices until a couple of moments later. Eric's definitely that guy on WHM. Yep, I grew to love Adam on You Look Nice Today for the same reason.

I guess I don't see how you can think "C'mon stop riffing about stuff and talk about the movie!", and still enjoy WHM at all, since off topic riffs are kind of their bread and butter. I thought the ads were plenty funny myself.

LORD OF BUTT posted:Man, 1997 was kind of a lovely year for blockbusters. Lost World, Speed 2, Batman and Robin, Air Force One, Steel, Spawn, Kull the Conqueror, and then a brief period of respite before the double-punch of Alien: Resurrection and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, then Tomorrow Never Dies and The Postman to round it out. I'm amazed at how many of those I saw in theaters, I must've done nothing but go to the movies that summer.

Also I finally listened to The Lost World and when they were trying to remember what Goldbum's "go faster" quote was I really wanted to jump in and tell them it's "Increase your rate of climb." Because everyone needs to know that.

BlameSpacePod posted:You're right. Sorry for posting guys! The best trick the devil ever pulled was posting on SA and then, poof: Slenderman. I just wanna say please don't stop posting just because some people are dicks! I totally get where you're coming from about it being ok to like a movie. As I've gotten older I've realized there's really no line between liking something, and ironically "liking" it to make fun of it. It's all just fun; I'll riff on and make fun of bits in my favorite movies when I rewatch them. Your knowledge and more importantly your enthusiasm for film really comes throw and elevates WHM to a truly great podcast, it's very clear that all you guys genuinely love film and know what the hell you're talking about.

I don't mind ads, power to the guys for getting paid, but I hate the style of the Uber ad where they read off a script "I use it all the time, I love it, and what's great is you're your own boss, etc". It just puts a bad taste in my mouth since presumably the conversational tone is supposed to make it feel genuine but they're clearly reading off a script. The stuff where they talk about the product and make side-jokes etc is fine.

Darthemed posted:Well, now that Listener Request Month is up, anyone wanna own up to stuff they called in that didn't get picked up for this go-round? My big one was Sweet Liberty, which was written and directed by its star, Alan Alda, with Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Lillian Gish in supporting roles. Did you pitch it with those exact words? Because if so I don't know how they didn't pick it

I love when they do a movie I've never seen before and I'm genuinely shocked at something in it. Pretty sure my jaw hit the floor when they revealed that Brainscan actually does the "it was all a dream!" ending.

WHM derails are great and these guys are way more interesting and informative about their subject than most other podcasts are in general.DangerDummy! posted:It might be because I was completely exhausted and in a weird head space when I listened, but I don't think I've laughed out loud more at any episode than Killer Workout. In fact, I think they've been funnier than ever lately. So many episodes in and they just keep putting out a better and better product. It's pretty impressive, really. I agree, they've really been on a roll lately.

I'm okay with the presence of ads but I wish I didn't have to hear people I like and respect shilling for scummy stuff like Draft Kings and Uber. I get that it's out of their hands but it still sucks.

The Vosgian Beast posted:Live and Let Die is the one where James Bond fights an actual Voodoo god, right? Yes, he also goes on a blaxploitation adventure in Harlem, and for the villain's death they literally replaced the actor with a black-man-shaped balloon and made no attempt to hide it. He flies up to the ceiling and pops.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:I did yes. I went to the arcade and Babbages. When I came back with a Babbages bag she didn't even look over. She really didn't like me, and it was completely obvious. Probably because she was banging some other dude at the same time and was two months pregnant during our date. It's probably because you left her alone for several hours on a date and returned with a videogame.

Prince Valiant is pretty loving rad, I thought it was boring as a kid but when some guy started posting the entire series in the newspaper comics thread I realized it's a pretty classic tale of medieval baddassery with some cool art.

X2 does really suffer from having half the movie set in a gray bunker. well why not posted:As of the latest on-screen, WHM is now the world's premium x-themed entertainment.

Their brief mention of Conan makes me really want to hear a We Love Movies on Conan the Barbarian. It's a great movie but it would make great fodder for their barrage of impressions/derails/unpacking of absurd scenes. The Vosgian Beast posted:Steve said an actor was from Amadeus after Andrew mentioned he was in Ace Ventura 2, and Andrew said that he didn't like the movie. Didn't really go in more depth than that. It sounded like the other guys were shocked by that as well.

He and Kirk are never in the same room the whole movie). I'm bummed that they apparently wrote off IV as the worst when it's solidly in the top 3 and arguably the best of them.
