We Hate Movies

WHM Entertainment

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory. read less

Our Editor's Take

We Hate Movies is a comedy podcast that revisits awful films. Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, Chris Cabin, and Andrew Jupin host the show. The four friends met while living in Astoria, Queens. They enjoyed getting together to drink beer and watch bad movies. These hangouts evolved into this podcast.

For every episode, the cohosts choose a movie to scrutinize. The friends have a preference for notorious flops, adventure movies, and '80s and '90s blockbusters. They question the story arc of The Postman by Kevin Costner. The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift gets an episode. The zombie movie World War Z is too brainy for the four. They think Guardians of the Galaxy is the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The most famous scenes in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom get dissected. They call Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, one of its sequels, "wildly good." The characters in The Neverending Story incur the cohosts' wrath.

Listeners will appreciate the "On-Screen Live' episodes of We Hate Movies. The cohosts go to the present day and review movies just coming out. They do this while watching previews so listeners get their instant reactions. Discussions about the merits of the latest DC and Marvel releases get heated. The four share first impressions of The Flash and Expend4bles. They also look forward to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

People who listen for laughs might enjoy the episodes taped before a live audience. The friends sometimes visit comedy clubs around the country, making for lively interactions. The We Hate Movies cohosts will sometimes have guests on the show. Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert fit right in. They despise the live-action Garfield movie. Meanwhile, Ben Worcester has nothing good to say about Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

No movie is beneath their notice, and they delight in blowing up minor flaws. Big explosions excite them and lack of plot doesn't faze them. Fans of comedy podcasts may enjoy listening to We Hate Movies. People who love bad movies may relate to the show's cohosts.

How incredible are all the ship and planetary designs in this film? Should they have kept the entire story on the mining colony and had the xenos just chasing them down there?

“He’s constantly the hype man for the Beekeeper!” - Eric on Jeremy Irons in this movie On this episode, we’re having an absolute blast chatting about the outrageously fun revenge flick, The Beekeeper! First off, is this the best Jason Statham Movie™️? Did we really need these very bad and uninteresting F.B.I. characters?

“Her character…it’s like she’s an alien!” - Eric, on Cassie Webb On the first episode of 2025, we’re kicking off a month of talking about movies we saw last year— good, bad and otherwise— and it all starts with, you guessed it, Madame Web! Why is every single performance in this film so stiff? How are so many previous draft ideas still stuck in the final product?

S15 Ep774: The Holiday
“This is gooning for people who like nice stuff.” - Chris  On this week’s holiday episode, we’re chatting about the Christmas snooze, The Holiday! Is this considered a Christmas classic? Why couldn’t we just have one of these storylines instead of both of them vying for movie supremacy? How little romantic chemistry do Kate Winslet and Jack Black have with one another? Besides The Talented Mr. Ripley, has Jude Law been any more handsome than this movie? Why did Nancy Meyers put so little detail and conflict in this screenplay? How humiliating is it when they make Kate Winslet do all that Jack Black-style scatting? PLUS: The guys wish to party with the great Hans Zimmer after one of his big-ass rock concerts!  The Holiday stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, Edward Burns, Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Bill Macy, Shelley Berman, Kathryn Hahn, John Krasinski, and Eli Wallach as Arthur; directed by Nancy Meyers.

S15 Ep773: Deck the Halls
“Christmas is a sexual kink for both of them!” - Chris, on DeVito and Chenoweth’s characters On this special holiday episode of WHM, we’re chatting about the absolutely unhinged, abhorrent, mid-aughts Christmas comedy, Deck the Halls! Are Danny DeVito and his hot family actually aliens? Why is Broderick’s character free-balling outside in his bathrobe? Why doesn’t the film conclude with the big winter festival they keep yammering about? Who would’ve thought we would be missing Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and their KRANKS characters? And wouldn’t comedy legend Charles Grodin have absolutely crushed the straight man role in this movie? PLUS: Is this Broderick’s worst movie? DeVito’s?  Deck the Halls stars Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Kristen Davis, Kristen Chenoweth, Alia Shawkat, Dylan Blue, Kelly Aldridge, Sabrina Aldridge, Jorge Garcia, Gillian Vigman, and Fred Armisen as Gustave; directed by John Whitesell.

Shouldn’t Tim Allen’s character hate Christmas before being possessed by the soul of Santa Claus? Why did they give Wendy Crewson Uma Thurman’s exact haircut from Pulp Fiction? How fantastic is Judge Reinhold in this, as always? And how difficult was it to work with Tim Allen on that Disney+ sequel show?

How beautiful is all the craft to behold on-screen as this movie unfolds? Where’s the story where the town revolts against that disgusting Miss Gulch?

“This will be a particularly ignorant episode… from an historical standpoint” - Steve, on WHM’s lack of history education On this week’s special We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about Royal Rid’s 2000-era action epic, Gladiator! How great of a run did this film set off for Russell Crowe? How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence? Is the CGI’d Oliver Reed the first cinematic instance of Hollywood going to Tarkin Town and should we be calling it Oliver Reed-ville instead? And how funny is that “They Say No” decapitation? PLUS: How is this movie only one of THREE times Royal Rid was nominated for Best Director?  Gladiator stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, David Schofield, John Shrapnel, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Oliver Reed as Proximo; directed by Ridley Scott.
