Why is This a Thing? episodes
- Black Christmas (1974)The Why is This a Thing Christmas Extravaganza continues with the King of Yuletide Bob Clark and his pre-Halloween holiday slasher. Ahead of it’s time in style, substance and social conventionality, Black Christmas remains one of the great horror movies of all time. And Nick, Nico and Adam are here to unpack (unwrap?) just how the hyper-sentimental mind behind A Christmas Story could make something so profoundly nasty. Plus: lots of theories about that bleakly ambiguous ending and lots more fawning over Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey.

1 hr 9 min - Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)The guys celebrate another heartwarming Cranksgiving with Crank auteurs Mark Neveldine Brian Taylor.

56 min - The Hamiltons (2006)The Spooktacular rolls on with the mid-aughts horror indie The Hamiltons, about a family of [SPOILER]s with domestic issues that go well beyond their predilection for murder. Is it fair of us to mock this micro-budgeted San Francisco production? Well, considering the filmmakers have dubbed themselves “The Butcher Brothers,” we think it’s all fair game.

1 hr 16 min - House of the Dead (2003)Nick, Nico and Adam kick off the October Spooktacular with the early-aughts, zombie video game adaption that’s NOT Resident Evil. Is House of the Dead Sega’s legitimate attempt at a horror movie or a money-laundering scheme by controversial German auteur Uwe Boll? We answer all your nagging questions, as we review one of worst movies in WiTaT history.

1 hr 1 min - Open Your Eyes (1997) vs Vanilla Sky (2001)Redux August concludes with a side-by-side comparison of the Spanish-language sci-fi film Abre los ojos and Cameron Crowe’s faithfully idiosyncratic remake Vanilla Sky. Does the original help justify the remake’s clunky plot? Is the remake grade-A Tom Cruise or a thinly disguised vanity project? Will Nico be forced to eat crow or will he defend the film as a classic guilty pleasure? Tech support is here to resolve all your burning questions.

1 hr 30 min - RoboCop (1987) vs RoboCop (2014)Redux August (in mid-September) continues with one of the greatest movies of all time and one of the most mediocre remakes of the 2010s. Not even our boy Kinnaman can save this limp reimaging of Paul Verhoeven’s classic sci-fi satire.

Nick, Nico, Zakk and Adam are on a mission to watch the most crazy, bizarre and unapologetically horrible content ever produced. Each week, the four friends check out a movie or TV show you’ve…
probably never heard of and talk about it in intense, thought-provoking detail. Sometimes it’s weird. Sometimes it’s philosophical. But it’s always hilarious as they try to answer the question: “Why is This a Thing?”
