Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Send us Fan Mail

Tony said he liked this movie. What he really meant was that it was not so bad as to make him want to poke out his own eyes with a ballpoint pen. This is a B level action movie. The writing is bad, the acting is bad, they only have 2 sets but the fight scenes are not the worst. So don't waste your time, unless your times worthless if so then enjoy!

Hate Watching with Dan and Tony is the show that wishes it was Sickle and Ebert.

In case you missed the news, things are terrible in the world. and that is why we do this show. For a little bit of time we get to complain about something that doesn't matter. Tony and I get to laugh a bit and forget the real problems that are out there.  That is okay to do in my book. We need that release, that escape but not so much that we lose site of the important stuff. Because we can chew gum and play miniature golf at the same time. We are that good.

One of our loyal viewers asked us to do this movie and so it has been down. Jack is a terrible movie. It should be a tale about a kid/character who has a terrible disease but finds his way out of a confined existence. Instead it is Robin Williams as himself doing himself but we are told he is a kid with a disease. Oof.

Hate Watching is the show that comes though for the fans.

We made it - 100 shows - its is actually 101 because we did an extra bonus show way back at the beginning but who is counting.  In this one, we revisit the past with clips and commentary and even Tony's Boy Toys. It has to be seen and heard to be believed.

And big thanks to Tony for putting in the hard work producing this nutty show. He put in extra time getting this one right. Here is to the next one hundred shows!

Hate Watching is the show that is always happy to congratulate itself.

Ps - I know Mono-centennial is not a thing but it was Tony's bit and he needs a win.

We are just here to talk about the Movie and not JK, plenty of others have disassembled her. Its not terrible but it is certainly not good. The HP books and movies created a franchise that will last for a long time but sadly this set of movies didn't really add much. Good ideas are wasted and we get bogged down in mindless set pieces that don't really have any emotional resonance. Too bad.

Hate Watching is the show the is up to date but also dates itself.

A lot has been memed about Morbius but in the end it is pretty terrible. Matt Smith tries to have fun but Jared does not follow his lead and plods through the role as the titular character. Maybe they'll make the Legion of Monsters movie and it will be better but this is not the place to start.

hate watching is the show that is not afraid to ditch the caps.

What about that vote of no confidence in the UK! What about the California elections! Oh yeah no one cares.Lets talk about Obi Wan. I tried to watch and gave up quick. I hope they let someone do something interesting again with Star Wars but I'm not gonna expect it. One the franchise became only about selling toys, it was lost. Also adult Disneyland fans are now stealing the bricks on Main Street. Is anarchy that far away! Hope we make it to next week.

This one was a split decision - Dan hated it and Tony cried like a baby at the sappy love story. We both agreed that it took a long time getting there. Robin Williams did his Robin Williams thing. Not so much science fiction and a protracted love story with some sci fi elements. 

Hate Watching is the show that never forgets.

This movie is not terrible but it is also not good. it is Meh. Most everyone in the movie is motivated by a love of gold. All they care about is gold. It's dumb. And it is based on a video game.

Hate Watching is the show that does not love gold (I am lying we love gold).

#TomHolland #markyMark #unCharted #videogamemovie

I get it. Gold is great. But if you make your whole life about acquiring gold, that will not be much of a life. And if your whole life is about acquiring gold, it is likely that your whole life is not about spending the gold.  If you spent the first half of your life getting gold and the second half spending that gold, that would be OK. But that is not how it usually works. Scrooge McDuck just spent his days swimming in his pile of gold. That would not be much fun. Life is about figuring out a way to survive and enjoy. Finding that right mix is the key to happiness. Just sayin.

In this video we sing the praises of Larry Miller while talking about an animated movie worse than Delgo. This movie is unlike any other animated movie so Tony did the hard work of putting in clips in the video so you can see what we are not making all this up. This is a movie everyone should try to see because it is that terrible.

Hate Watching is the show that gets it right sometimes.

Ghosts. Are they real? Who knows. Are Ghost Hunting shows real, heck yes they are. It is interesting in the media landscape how a category of show can just rise up from the grave and become a serious sub-genre. They fulfill some need in the viewing audience. They are sort of entertainment, sort of a tease that they will solve an ages old mystery. In the end they give just enough to make their viewers come back for more.

This movie thought to piggyback on the success of Gladiator. Their mistake was waiting 16 years and making a pretty uninspiring movie. The religious stuff is given the backseat and the chariot race tries to be exciting but never gets there. And thus you are not left with much to chew on. The much better 1959 version has an incredible homosexuality implied backstory that this movie just skips to its detriment.

Hate Watching is the show that slays the blockbusters one at a time.

They closed our Rite Aid. Went in their last week and were told they would be closing in a week. I liked our Rite Aid, it was always empty and that was great. But it's strange to have a big chain store close in the heart of LA. It feels like new economic forces are coming to bear on our lives and it is a little scary. I'm not sure what it means. Most of my life, the world has just expanded but here there is a contraction. An isolated case? Perhaps. But perhaps not. We will see.

Great comedies are hard to make. They take great casting, great script, great premise, great direction, great cameos. Tropic Thunder was one of those movies. The Bubble is not. Everyone in the cast was great...in other movies. But the biggest issue is that this movie doesn't know who it is making fun of. Is it making fun of actors being privileged? No, it wants us to sympathize with what they go through. And thus there is no room for comedy. And don't get me started on Kate McKinnon. She is very funny but in this movie as in others, they think they can just give her crappy lines and she will turn them to gold. Well that does not happen. You have to do the work to get the laughs and the Bubble phones it in from beginning to end (except for Gus Khan - that guys a hero).

Hate Watching is the show that has the time to waste watching the waste.

Dukes of Hazzard was a weird show. The boys were bootleggers and shot arrows that had dynamite on them. They had an uncle and the local Mayor was a criminal who was sort of helped by sheriff and deputy. I guess int eh show they helped people who were begin abused by the law. Oh yeah and the boys had a super hot sister who also did stuff? TV is kid of amazing in the shows that resonate and survive. I'm sure when they put this on TV, no one knew it would be a hit. But it resonated in a weird way. Filled some niche that no one really knew needed to be filled. And that is life. We are all searching for that niche to fill. sometimes we find it and sometimes not.
