Hack Job Studios

The stated goal of this show was to start a conversation about teenage suicide. That's exactly what it did, and unfortunately for its creators the conclusion of said conversation was that this  show missed the mark by so much, it is likely to cause more suicides than it prevents. That’s not caulous hyperbole, by the way, most experts agree that the carelessness with which this show treats suicide risks inspiring copycat behavior. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please do not watch this show. Like we said in the intro, we are not mental health experts, but if you are trying to find help, we have included a link below.

Remember a time when every Disney kid’s movie had an edgier Dreamworks ripoff? Hack Job remembers. There are, technically, more studios making high budget animation today then there were twenty years ago, but it still feels like Disney is the only one worth talking about. Perhaps that was just as true then, but it sure didn’t feel like it to us, and we were the target demographic for these movies at the time. So yeah, most Dreamworks movies will never be as timeless as Disney (except Shrek of course,) but they are still definitely worth talking about.

So this isn’t the first time that we’ve tackled a universally panned movie, but it is the first time we’ve done it for a movie that neither of us really knew anything about going in. I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s safe to say we were surprised by the results.This one is a good example of why you shouldn’t judge a movie by its rotten tomatoes score.

Don't Panic. Seriously, we know that this movie is flawed, but does it's existence somehow make the other adaptations less enjoyable? We don't think so. In this episode we discuss whether or not this movie actually should exist, but one thing is for sure: if you get all bent out of shape and freak out over it, you didn't read the cover of the guide now did you?

Worst Animated Movie Ever might be a little harsh, but to be fair we are not the first to make that claim. If you haven't seen it, just imagine the most gratuitous product placement you've ever seen and make an entire movie around it.

And more importantly, do that distinction even matter?

In this episode, we talk about a really obscure movie I'm sure none of you have ever heard of.

Oh good, you found it. This emergency broadcast of Hack Job's The Purge review was originally intended to be mandatory viewing for everyone in the Magical Autocratic Dystopia. At the last second though, the powers that be decided it would play better as YouTube video. But now that you're here, please enjoy our video about a movie that answers the question, "What would happen if we actually put in practice the policy that we came up with for this movie?"
