We Hate Movies

“I do have to imagine life with good, old Dan Challis… was a nightmare.” - Chris On this week’s episode, we’re heading back to Santa Mira to chat about a cult classic par excellence, one of the most misunderstood, under-watched horror sequels of all time, Halloween III: Season of the Witch ! Is the public opinion on this movie one of the biggest 180s in horror history? How incredible is Tom Atkins, and his mustache, in this? Why would you bring sexy lingerie on a trip to uncover why your father was murdered? How about that wild-ass score by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth? Why are all the murder-bots set to ‘pulverize’ mode? Does Dr. Challis have a Bond/Moneypenny thing with this coroner character? And how great is Dan O’Herlihy as the villainous Conal Cochran? PLUS: The Devil gets cancelled! Halloween III: Season of the Witch stars Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelson, Michael Currie, Ralph Strait, Jade Barber, Brad Schacter, Gary Stephens, Nancy Kyes, Al Berry, and Dan O’Herlihy as Conal Cochran; directed by Tommy Lee Wallace.

Recorded Live at the Den Theatre in Chicago, IL, 22 March, 2026 “Way too much oral stuff in this movie!” - Eric On this week’s WHM Live episode, it’s our raucous show from Chicago where we were talking a blue streak about the beloved Tom Hanks comedy, Big ! How eerie is the third act of this movie? Shouldn’t Susan have been a bit more creeped out by Josh’s apartment? Is there a more terrifying sight than Robert Loggia being nice to people? How great would it be to have a 1980’s Jon Lovitz as a coworker? Couldn’t they have thrown more lines to James Eckhouse? What would it be like watching the gut-wrenching, Lars von Trier-esque, family drama that Mercedes Ruehl and the rest of the Baskin family is going through? And did Hollywood decree there could only be one be-mulleted, red-headed, DSB actor at a time? PLUS: Should New Jersey give Jason Voorhees his own highway rest stop? Big stars Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, John Heard, Jared Rushton, David Moscow, Jon Lovitz, Mercedes Ruehl, James Eckhouse, Debra Jo Rupp, and Robert Loggia as Mr. MacMillan.

Recorded Live at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN, 20 March, 2026 “This show is rated PG-45…” - Steve on our live show content On this Summer Live episode, it’s our rowdy show from the great city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we were touring in March of this year, chatting about the beefy, early-Arnold epic, Conan the Barbarian ! How incredible is James Earl Jones’ wig in this movie? What’s with this feral dog man in the scouting party at the beginning? Did Arnold really punch that camel in the face?

Recorded Live at the Hollywood Improv in Los Angeles, CA, 22 February, 2026 “Travolta just chops him in the neck!” - Steve on Bob Gunton’s character’s demise On this week’s Summer Live episode, we’re releasing our Broken Arrow show from earlier this year, recorded in our favorite room to play on tour, the world-famous Hollywood Improv! We were there playing to a packed house to chat about this near-forgotten John Travolta/Christian Slater action film that contains more than its fair share of character actors! Is it sad that audiences probably remember this movie better than they remember another, superior, John Woo-in-America entry, Hard Target ? How hilarious is the moment when that old timer gets taken out by the terrorists at his camp site? No shade to stuff like Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, but can we get Samantha Mathis in bigger movies like this again? Is there a better actor to play a cinematic weasel than Bob Gunton? And would this film have been better if Christian Slater’s character was in possession of a magic talisman? PLUS: Nickelodeon’s Guts but it’s also a Giallo film!

How hilarious is Arnold as this vague construction guy? Was this movie the Ground Zero for that Arnold Soundboard craze? Why does the Recall office only have the single chair if they’re the latest craze in techno-tainment? Why did they let Arnold get the procedure while wearing jeans and a corduroy jacket? And should we be calling these guys mutants? PLUS: The finale of the season sixteen VHS Trailer Game!

This show was an incredible end to a super-fun run of six shows we had at the festival and wowza, King Ralph is certainly something, isn’t it? Is this moment-of-death photograph that starts the film technically a snuff pic? Aren’t they asking way too much of this bumbling buffoon for only being King a couple weeks?

How boring are these Elemental villains? Did they really need to do the European Vacation trope? Should they have instead taken the story to Hollywood to have Spider-Man tangle with the actual Quentin Beck special F/X whiz guy from the comics? How great is Gyllenhaal here? Did the MCU ever really grapple with The Blip aftermath? And did we really need all the S.H.I.E.L.D. shenanigans in this one? PLUS: An extended rant on the trials and tribulations of using the bathroom on a plane! Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland, Samuel L.

“Somebody pressed the More Stifler button too many times” - Steve On the penultimate episode of the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza, we’re going back for another serving of defiled dessert as we attempt to break down the sex-crazed sequel, American Wedding ! Why couldn’t the script bother to tell us what happened to the missing friends in the cast? And if folks are missing, why not give the MILF Guys some more to do? Would this movie have started stronger if we had a scroll or old man narrator to kick things off? Did Eugene Levy and Fred Willard have to have back surgery after carrying this movie for an hour and a half? And how did Bear get invited to the wedding?

Why is it a full thirty minutes before you’re showing us aliens? Did the Halo creators have a suit with these mercenary outfits? Did the production have a dialect coach on set at all?
