Who Asked For This Anyway?

Imagine running toward a tornado? Who would do such a thing? Helen Hunt and Bil Paxton that's who! They're insane! This movie is insane! I may be insane! Who knows? In any case, join a group of Long Island potatoes as they get together and talk about this insane movie.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah? Blah! Right?

If you're bored and feel the need for a bunch of complete dunderheads to tell you why the Godfather was a good movie, boy have we got a podcast for you!

A bunch of idiots talk about the 1993 movie where a John Malkovich dummy is thrown down an elevator shaft and Clint Eastwood harasses Rene Russo. Oh and, spoiler alert, he saves the president too!

Today’s pod features The Fugitive, a 1993 movie staring Joe Pantoliano. In a tale as old as time a prominent vascular surgeon, Richard Kimble, is framed for the murder of his wife. He didn’t do it but he goes to prison anyway while the real killer goes free! Then he escapes, staying one step ahead of the Feds (one of whom has a pony tail) all the while looking for the one armed man: the real killer. Will he elude them long enough to prove his innocence? It’s a real nail biter and still holds up today. In a stark contrast, the usual gang of WAFTA idiots - plus pod guest Brett B - drone on and on about it in a non suspenseful way, and never once mention the pony tail. Also starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

Sometimes a movie comes along that is both genre-defying and era-defining. Cabin Boy is not one of those movies but it’s weird and we love it. A tale of men, the sea, other men and one very special fancy lad who seeks adventure and boy does he find it. “Hey, would you like to buy a monkey?”

Grease was a huge blockbuster movie and it made John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John huge stars and sold millions of tickets. Then the powers that be decided to make Grease 2 - without them! And it sold tickets. And yet I've heard that some people prefer the latter. Those people are insane. Enjoy!

It's the 35th anniversary of the release of Jaws (someone check my math but I think I'm right) and this is a very special edition of WAFTA! Now we've said this before! And we've put exclamation points at the end of our sentences to make them seem important! But this is different! This is important! You know how they have shark week on the TV?! Well, this is the reason they have it! Sharks are scary, sharks are mean, and sharks are box office! And we're gonna need a bigger pod!

Hey! So one day you're cruising down the Sunset Strip three and three quarter sheets to the wind, crawling from the wreckage into another brand new Lambo and the next you're stuck in group home with a bunch of washed up have beens and never wases ... wait is that Flava Flav? No? Then who ... oh man, he did not age well. At least I looked after myself. Who the eff am I kidding? Whatever, at least it's a decent payday... burp.

Just another edition Who Asked For This Anyway? Think again, this one is kinda special, it’s our twentieth pod and you know what that means - - no one has stopped us, yet. Hooray! Today's pod is Trading Places the eighties hit comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd. The plot?, A couple of old rich white guys mess around with other peoples’ lives for their own amusement! But as we all know - at least in this alternate universe - payback is a bitch.
