Hate Watch / Great Watch

Hello, excellent humans! Lordy, lordy it’s episode 40! In our first Socially Distant recording session, we bell-come back Tina Dillon for her sixth appearance, to talk about the female empowerment film FOXFIRE (1996)! Is Angelina Jolie a metaphor? Is she a fairy creature? What is Tina’s Jonathan Brandis history? These questions might get answered, PLUS - hope you like hog-talk, cuz we discuss hogs quite a bit! FOXFIRE: you’ll get caught up in the ...FOXFIRE!

Hello, excellent humans! We’re joined by filmmaker This Jes (ThisJes Films on youtube) to dissect Jordan Peele’s US (2019)! This isn’t a regular-degular episode of HWGW, as we’re focused on the themes and motifs in the picture, though we still manage to talk about The Rolling Stones, Jerry Lewis’ Vision Quest, how Hide-a-Keys never work and we even squeeze in a Fire Safety Moment! So not an entirely joyless affair, just a bit more focused than usual. It might end up being your favorite episode yet!

Hello, excellent ...aliens!?!? On this episode of HWGW, we’re going to space and to the future to talk about the alien MMA action comedy (?) ARENA from 1989! We’re joined once again by frequent guest Bryan Bierman! Talking points include: Randy Orton, the Bryan Bierman / Tina Dillon guest feud, Forrest Gump spin-offs, krugerrands, and for some reason we throw shade on Green Book!

Hello, excellent humans! Climb in, double check your maps and I hope you peed before we left because we’re going on a road trip! We’re talking JOY RIDE (2001) featuring Paul Walker, somehow top-billed Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski on a cross-country trip full of Deadly Pranks. Find out if returning guest Billy Guinan and first timer Keith Boehm can describe the film in just 6 sentences and stick around for a visit from Existential Batman!

Hello, excellent humans! This episode starts off a little bit heavy with a discussion about celebrity death that impacted us, but the talk quickly turns to the film at hand: 1996’s direct-to-video gem VIBRATIONS starring Christina Applegate! Guest Nicole “Smalls” Krecicki and special surprise guest Krystal Brackett both return to watch this extremely strange flick with us. Since you probably haven’t seen it, all you have to know is: A young man’s music career is abandoned when he loses both his hands in an assault, but don’t worry HE GETS ROBOT HANDS AND BECOMES A RAVE DJ. Yes, really! We also talk about 90’s fashion, how Ethan Embry seems like a good hugger, Weird Al and F܁R܁I܁E܁N·D·S! We’re Hate Watch / Great Watch - the podcast with Big Rick (Moranis) Energy!

Hello, excellent humans! Splish splash, we’re taking a bath with guest Aliya Amilani who asked to be described as “the mushroom queen of Philadelphia” as we discuss 1999’s DEEP BLUE SEA and, perhaps more importantly, our forthcoming porn parody with a nigh-unpronounceable title! Along the way we talk about vintage MTV including Jesse Camp and someone named Caison Derly, discuss Danny Boyle’s directing style, say “handsome actor Tom Jane” a lot, and invent a new character, the space alien Trusto! What exactly is LL Cool J’s relationship to his bird? And did Michael Rappaport buy his facial hair at Ben Afleck’s yard sale? Find out!

Hello, excellent humans! Celebrate Liberty Day - y’know, that holiday everyone knows and celebrates - with us as we’re joined by Gabby Reeves to discuss Brian De Palma’s 1981 Philadelphia-set neo-noir BLOW OUT! Listen as we: discuss Dennis Franz’s poor attempt at a Philly accent, attempt to explain the Mummers, and invent new character Scoop Newsman! And Hunter pitches a new TV show: Horse Cops!

Riley O’Neill returns to talk about one of her favorite movies, 2009’s CORALINE! We discuss getting called by the wrong name, compare Coraline to Castle Freak and invent new characters like Ian McShane McMahon and Tony Bananaslugs! Come for the film discussion, but stay for the anti-corporate screed and learn why We Like-a Laika!

Hello, excellent humans! In a stunning display of foresight, we brought back Celso Garcia to talk about this seasonally-appropriate blockbuster the same week as July 4th. Listen to us gab about the film and its many, many miniatures, as well as about such far-ranging topics as: Bastille Day; Adam Sandler and what he's been up to; if Werner Herzog directed this; and much much more.

We are joined on this episode by Riley O’Neill to discuss The Banana Splits Movie from 2019. Remember The Banana Splits? Well they’re back in horror movie form! We speculate on the possible origins of this flick, take listeners to The Ziti Zone, and Allison tells a horrifying story about a childhood limbo accident!
