We Hate Movies

“I think the first time I watched it, I kept expecting Meryl Streep to be the Devil!” - Steve
On this week’s episode, the gang welcomes back Chelsea Jupin to chat about the totally enjoyable, perfect-to-watch-on-an-airplane sensation, The Devil Wears Prada! 
 
Just on the heels of the sequel releasing, we look back at the film that paved the way for the next act of Meryl’s career, features one of the best Stanley Tucci performances of all time, gave the Mentalist something to do, introduced a larger audience to the coffee house vibes of KT Tunstall, and even tried to pull the old Hollywood “isn’t Anne Hathaway a dog?” trick—fooling absolutely no one, by the way. PLUS: Miranda Priestley gifts Bane a stylish new breathing apparatus! 
The Devil Wears Prada stars Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, Simon Baker, Adrien Grenier, Tracie Toms, Rich Sommer, Daniel Sunjata, David Marshall Grant, Tibor Feldman, James Naughton, Gisele Bündchen, Stephanie Szostak, John Rothman, and Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly; directed by David Frankel.

“He's big and hulking and terrifying, but he's also kind of a huge loser..." - Steve on Kylo Ren

On this edition of We ❤️ Movies, we’re heading back to a galaxy far, far away to chat about the great, yet divisive start to the Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens!

How great is Harrison Ford in this movie? Wasn’t it about time Star Wars got a little bloodier? Wouldn’t we all want to sit down and have a drink at Maz’s sick bar? How do so many Star Wars people magically understand droid speak? And how much stolen valor is Kylo Ren working with here? PLUS: Be careful when you’re bringing your antique family collectibles onto The Lightsaber Roadshow on PBS!
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Max von Sydow, Peter Mathew, Gwendoline Christie, Jones Suotamo, Simon Pegg, and Harrison Ford as Han Solo; directed by JJ Abrams.

“Alex Murphy is made for her pleasure!” - Steve on the new suit design
On this week’s show, we bring Remake-ril to a close with a chat about one of the worst Hollywood remakes of all time, RoboCop (2014)! 
Why did we need the “slick” new suit design? Why didn’t they bother with any of the TV sitcom stuff like in the ’87? Why did we need to have the wife and son be such larger characters? Was Joel Kinnaman right for Murphy? And speaking of Murphy, why are so many people calling him by his first name in this movie? Did any other film waste Michael Kenneth Williams’ talent as much as this one did? And what in WORLD were they thinking going for the PG-13 rating? PLUS: “Dr. Norton? Commissioner Gordon. Commissioner Gordon? Dr. Norton…”
RoboCop (2014) stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Samuel L. Jackson as Pat Novak; directed by José Padilha.

“He’s the best part of this movie” - Chris on Dennis Franz
On this week’s show, Remake-ril heads to Los Angeles as we chat about the sappy Hollywood remake, City of Angels! 
A reimagining of Wim Wenders’ 1987 masterpiece, Wings of Desire, this film features Nicholas Cage as the lovelorn angel… Seth? How great, truly, is Dennis Franz in this movie? Why couldn’t they have kept Meg’s character a trapeze artist instead of switching it to a doctor? Should these angels be watching stuff like bath tub shenanigans? How weird is it to hear Sarah McLachlin’s “Angel” when that dog PSA isn’t on your TV? Does Colm Feore’s character give one of the worst movie marriage proposals of all time? And was that Michael Mann as the cigarette-smoking bar extra? PLUS: What a Rolling Rock commercial! 
City of Angels stars Meg Ryan, Nicholas Cage, Andre Braugher, Colm Feore, Robin Bartlett, Joanna Merlin, and Dennis Franz as Mr. Messinger; directed by Brad Silberling.

“The idea that you’re gonna put Kilmer and Brando in the same movie and you expect this to go well...” - Steve
This week on WHM, Remake-ril boards a plane to fly to a mysterious destination in the South Pacific as the guys chat about one of the most notorious Hollywood disasters of the 1990s, John Frankenheimer’s The Island of Dr. Moreau!
Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to get Brando involved in this? Does our society really want monkey butlers? What was Kilmer smoking while filming this—no seriously, any strain info? How was this movie only PG-13 with all these horrific mon-stars? Why was mainstream pop culture kinda cool with a little light beastiality in the 1990s? And credit where credit’s due, Stan Winston hit it out of the park with the monster make-up. PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) stars David Thewlis, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Daniel Rigney, Temuera Morrison, Nelson de la Rosa, Mark Dacascos, Ron Perlman, Marco Hofschneider, and Marlon Brando as Dr. Moreau; directed by John Frankenheimer.
