Looking for a particular episode of We Hate Movies where they riff on Larry the Cable Guy, repeating "Hey cool!" throughout the episode. When I first recalled that bit and wanted to find it again, I assumed they had done an episode on one of his movies, but browsing the list I don't see one of those so maybe it just came up randomly. Anyone happen to know which one I'm thinking of? e: Ah must be the Tooth Fairy 2 episode -- that is Larry the Cable guy but I was remembering the first one starring The Rock. One thing I've noticed that I think escapes a lot of the bad movie podcasters: schmaltz actually works better than schlock. As evidence, I submit the WHMs on Invisible Child and One Magic Christmas. It's the inimitable quality of absurdity created by someone who isn't even trying, who has no idea how bizarre their work is, that you'll never get from a B horror movie.

Trawling the WHM archives I relistened to Babycakes which is another fantastic example of what I was talking about above. It's just so much more interesting when an attempt to create pablum results in utter insanity than it is when someone intentionally makes ludicrous bullshit. Like, Nicholas Cage and Uwe Boll know what they're doing but Riki Lake or Mary Steenburgen absolutely do not. I can still enjoy the former but the latter is like a glorious discovery of outsider art in bad movie podcast terms.

HDTGM and WHM are both pretty great this week. WHM especially. I regret that I can't start using "Just waiting for this Surge to get cold!" in real life without looking like a crazy man.

Honestly despite listening to the entire WHM catalog, many twice, I cannot really distinguish any of the dudes.

Hider in the House for the best example of a movie they come to love -- another thing WHM does better than any of the others (when was the last time The Flop House actually enjoyed a movie, on any level of irony?)

I barely remember what movie the episode was about but today's Flop House Alan Ruck tangent is up there with the Titus Androgynous and Porthole of Time bits.

After a recent relisten I think "One Magic Christmas" is the densest with laughs. All three hosts are on fire there.

Best WHM riff is Louie Anderson, last actor on Earth, from The Day After Tomorrow.

TheFallenEvincar posted:Are the Animation Damnation and other random special non-movie eps entertaining? Also did anyone ever listen to that conspiracy podcast show one of the dudes always talks about hosting that is apparently over now? How's that? I like the WHM dudes well enough. I don't think anyone here really liked Blame It on Outer Space. The premise of "WHM for conspiracies" sounds great but that was never exactly what it was. Eric seemed to be trying a few different ideas through its run and I don't know that it ever really came together. Early on it seemed not jokey enough, like it was just "oh geez, man this theory is crazy, wow, can you believe this crazy poo poo?" without ever really diving into it. Then later they started doing like kind radio play type stuff. Also he did this weird, intentionally bad Jay Leno style monologue at the top that didn't have anything to do with the topic. I think there's a great podcast in there if they'd just do it joking but with a pretty straight face, no high concept, but I guess that wasn't what he wanted it to be.

The WHM episodes were always available on that page, I've been listening to old ones a lot recently; the Animation Damnations and Side Orders of Sleaze and On-Screen things are new to the web site, previously available via a real lovely app called the Podcast Box or something for a one-time $3. They mentioned a few months ago that they hadn't updated any content behind the paywall for a while because they were planning to do something like maybe a Patreon.

Despite, or maybe because of there being nothing to the movie that was there best WHM in a long time IMO.

Worth keeping this thread alive to note there's an all-time WHM moment late in this week's episode courtesy of Eric.

It's definitely cool if that's connecting with people but I do wish they were better at transitioning into and out of those discussions.

I'm not jumping off or anything but I think they would benefit from doing a We Love Movies selection soon and maybe a moratorium on the Trump impressions.

Human Tornada posted:I do, even though I don't love it the way I used to in the very beginning. I don't know if it's changed or I have. The one with one of those podcasting brothers that people like for some reason, like two episodes ago, unlistenable.

Still like the Flop House well enough but randomly clicked on an old episode, CBGB, and listening to Tom Brokaw explain Dune to Michael Caine and getting interrupted by Jimmy Stewart I'm kinda sad the podcast just isn't like this anymore.
