110. Phantom of the Paradise (1974) 

Hello Excellent De Palma Pals! 

On this late night recorded episode, Allison & Hunter try to keep their energy up and the volume down while discussing Brian De Palma’s 1974 musical Phantom of the Paradise! What is it about the music business that so often inspires artists to tell stories about mankind’s greatest evils? We explore this patchwork of genres and influences, discuss its copious lawsuits, have trouble pronouncing names, and do our best impressions of Sha Na Na.

In our long-awaited return to the Goldfoot franchise, we are once again joined by Will Congleton to discuss 1966’s Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs!

105. Half Baked (1998)

Hello Excellent If You’re a Cop You Have to Tell Me or It’s Entrapment

On this episode, perhaps our loosest, most free-form one to date, Allison & Hunter are joined by returning guest Aliya Amilani and her pal Sarina D. to talk about 1998 stoner comedy Half Baked! * CONTENT WARNING * This episode features jokes about self harm and semi-earnest discussion of drug use, and it may not be everyone’s steez * But, if you DO listen, we talk about… well a whole lot of stuff and only kind of about the movie. But y’know what? I think that’s kinda fitting. Plus, a good time was had by all. Fully, man!

104. Gossip (2000)

Hello Excellent Busybodys!

I heard a rumor that we have a new episode with Hunter and special cohost Tina Dillon discussing the year 2000 thriller Gossip. * CONTENT WARNING * This film deals with heavy subject matter including SA, so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea * But, if you DO listen, you will hear about Joshua Jackson, The Foot Clan, that Three Men and a Baby ghost rumor, and even some fine art from Marcel Duchamp. Don’t keep this episode a secret. Tell everyone about HWGW!

103. The Mummy (1999)

Hello Excellent Egyptologists!

On this OOPS! ALL HOSTS episode, Hunter Bush, Allison Yakulis, and Tina Dillon all discuss The Mummy (1999) together! Can you believe that this movie isn’t historically accurate? It’s true! Also: Hunter dislikes The Black Keys, Allison makes a wrestling joke, and Tina thinks David Bowie should have played the Mummy. So… pretty on-brand for HWGW.
