Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Send us Fan Mail

The movie they tried to make for 10+ years finally got made and it is as expected...underwhelming. The stars are weak, the comedy is painful, the monsters are MIA and Jeremy Irons is out of his mind. There are a few little nice things but overall the fans must wait a little longer for D&D to get a decent shot on the big screen.

Willow is the movie you make if you can't get the rights to Lord of the Rings and want to try to make something similar. And also you know of want to make it a kids movie. And you hire Ron Howard. And want to pretty much ruin Val Kilmer's hopes of being an A-list movie star. And you want to create the most forgettable villain of all time. This movie has a lot going on. Oh yeah and Netflix is making it a series......

Hate Watching is the show that unearths the corpses of movies long thought dead.

We were taking the dog to the vet today. It is an hour drive and about 45 minutes in the dog got super excited. I assumed it was her getting excited about getting there. Then all at once she sits and calms down and then I feel a warmth in my lap. She has taken a giant leak all over me...oops. I felt bad for her but it just says something about our inability to always ready the signals. I'm sure she thought she was making it perfectly clear that she needed to access to a lawn but boy did I get it wrong. That is life, reading signals and then messing it up.

Tony loves the first Suicide Squad movie and is angry that everyone hates it and loves the new one. The truth is that they both have a lot of problems and the second one is gonna be beloved by a certain audience and everyone is gonna hate on the first one forever. So Tonys dream of the first one getting some love is never gonna happen. PS - John Cena = Hilarious.

Hate Watching is the show that freely changes formats based on the whims of it's hosts.

Now that everyone is talking about the Met Gala, I won't. Instead I want to talk about dreams. Everyone loves to tell people about their dreams and no one ever wants to hear about your stupid dreams. Dreams are the ultimate randomizer of information stored in your brain. So they are fun to you but to everyone else the random shit in them is just that, random shit. We like to think that there is order in the universe but in truth it is all just random chance. Wouldn't it be nice if life actually meant something.  Sadly it doesn't. Life is meaningless. Get used to it. Maybe we should talk about the Met Gala some more...

Tom Cruise is a movie star and that affords him a lot of power to make terrible movies.  And with the Mummy he did it all, ruined the script, hired a bad director and cooked up one of the worst monster movies of all time.  Good job Tom. Oh yeah and this was supposed to usher in Universal's Dark Universe - Haha that didn't happen. (PS do your self a favor and go watch the Brenden Frasier Mummy)

Hate Watching is the show where we take to task the out of control movie stars that ruin their own movies.  How dare they.

There is a goat that lives in Hollywood that is called the Hollywood Goat.  We talk about how this movie is less interesting than this goat.  And we try to figure out what happened with Pedro Pascal. We unpack it all in this episode.

Hate Watching is the show where it all comes out in the end.

My wife loves soccer or football as they call it abroad. Every day she watches game but also the shows where they talk about soccer or football.  It is kind of funny to watch a bunch of old euro guys talk about players that I have no idea who 99% of them are (I know Messi, Renaldo and Paul Pogba and Havertz who's name sounds like Have Farts). And there are so many teams and leagues and championships in the middle of the season and breaks and Olympics and World Cups and on and on.  It is just odd to know a very little about something but watch shows where people care about a thing so much and I care so little.  We all have our things and seem crazy to everyone else on the planet.

This is the movie that answers the question What happened after the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. It also answers the questions Did Hansel get diabetes from all the candy and did he invent insulin. So it's a weird one.  The final witch battle definitely goes in an Army of Darkness direction but it does not make up for a lackluster first hour.

Hate Watching is the show that dares to go into the forest and come out the other side.

What is the role of the movie critic at this point.  Rotten Tomatoes has thousands of reviews. Amazon has millions. But it turns out people are paid to write good amazon reviews for products. We know that happens for movie reviews too. So who can you trust.  You can't trust anyone, least of all us.  We don't know what the hell we are talking about.  if we did we would be the ones making these movies.  Instead we are the guys who get on here each week and complain about what has been made.  maybe we should spend that time getting our scripts in the hands of the real players. Maybe we should go to Cannes and rent a yacht and wine and dine studio people. But instead I think we will just keep complaining and never get our stuff made.  That is the best way to prove that we are right.  We are. Aren't we??????

Nobody expected this movie to be good.  Guess what they were right.  No Bill Murray means that this movie is just automatically worse than the first one.  I love Don Cheadle but whoa, his character is rough.  Plus it is a giant corporate shill of a movie. Now is the part where I could say some nice stuff.....(insert cricket sounds). Oh yeah and Porky Pig raps.....

Hate Watching is the show that people hate watch - get it.....

Well its football season again.  At least preseason and that means football is on TV. And that means it time to make dip again.  Whats your favorite? Salsa, Onion, Queso?  So many options but those are options we all love to partake in.  Who doesn't love a chip all dripping with dip and a cool drink to wash it down.  Now I'm getting hungry. So hungry. Where is this bit going? Nowhere.  I just wanted to think about dip because I went to the store and didn't buy any.  Diets suck.

The Ghost in the Shell anime was incredibly influential on the movies that came after it.  Sadly this movie is just a pale version of the original and the ideas seem stale because we've been dealing with them for 20 years. Oh well.

Hate Watching is a show about an hour long.

Will we ever be robots?  Will we ever have enhancements?  Who wants to have a robot jaw? Not me.  I may wear glasses but I don't want no robot eyes. And even if they could there is no chance most of us could ever afford to have robot eyes. We are just lucky that there is enough water for most of us to drink.  Robot jaw, give me a break.

I had forgotten we had watched this movie. And now I have to remember that we did. I don't have to tell you that it is not a good movie. They sort of take some elements from the cartoon but they don't really go anywhere. And the poor guy that played Spike in Buffy is the villain but you know he was happy that the makeup made him unrecognizable.  Emmy Rossum is in here too and some other realish people.  And there is a turkey leg. We unpack it all.

Hate Watching with Dan and Tony is a show that contains way too much Dan and Tony.

Watching some skateboarding at the Olympics.  And these kids are 12 years old and killing it. When I was twelve I was watching Hong Kong Phooey and just trying to figure out how to do math.  These kids are amazing and supportive and throw the idea that sports is just about competing against someone.  These kids are striving to be their best.  And it is damn impressive.

What happens when you make a movie that lacks all the charm, humor and heart of one of the greatest television series of all time? You end up with this confusing pile of junk.  Some things are better left alone or maybe just let the creators do a new tv series (oh yeah they did that and made Korra which was wonderful). I root for M Night but this movie just didn't have a chance.

Hate Watching is a show where we point out Hollywoods failings.

Pizza.  Is there anyone that does not love pizza.  If there is I don't want to know that person. Pizza is perfection.  In life we are always looking for that little bit of perfection. The perfect dessert, the perfect day at the beach, the perfect hot shower at the end of a long day.  We can try to replicate the perfect experience but each time it feels a little more hollow. So you mix it up but still you search for that perfection.  Finding it less and less and hoping more and more that it can be experienced again. Then you give up hope. But then out of the blue, you have another perfect experience. And you start the hunt all over again.
