We Hate Movies

“Rusty Nail is clearly a fan of Looney Tunes” - Steve

On a very special We ❤️ Movies, the gang welcomes Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from Radio Silence to chat about the great John Dahl highway thriller, Joy Ride!

How awesome is all the neon lighting in this movie? How great is the cast here, including a never-better Paul Walker? Can we find a theater to book-in a short series on “motel movies”? How great is it to have so many killer car stunts in this? And remember when we could have eerie, ambiguous movie endings without assuming they were just cash-grab sequel setups? PLUS: Be sure to catch Matt & Tyler’s latest film, the super-fun, super-bloody Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, which is a must-see in theaters, y’all! Out everywhere wide on Friday, with early shows starting Thursday night.
Joy Ride stars Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, Leelee Sobieski, Jessica Bowman, and the great Ted Levine as the voice of Rusty Nail; directed by John Dahl.

“It is an obnoxious way to tell a story…” - Andrew on the film's structure
On this week’s show, Listener Request Month 2026 makes the chicken come home to roost as we are finally forced to chat about Troy Duffy’s 1999 dorm-room-poster-movie, The Boondock Saints!

Why in the world did they think this ‘re-cap the crime’ format needed to happen? Why is Rocco’s character name just the real actor’s actual name? Where do they get this super-human strength to rip toilets out of floors and jump off five-story buildings with ease? And what’s with Troy Duffy’s hatred of the Mafia? PLUS: If you get bit by a Muppet, will you turn into one by the next full moon? 
The Boondock Saints stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, Gerard Parkes, Carlo Rota, Ron Jeremy, and Willem Dafoe as Paul Smecker; directed by Troy Duffy.

On this edition of WHM Mail Bag, we're reading some wild letters from listeners: a fella who had a co-worker that remained on the line when he went to the bathroom, someone who had one helluva time traveling cross-country with their cat, a group of friends who drank an improbable amount of malt liquor in one weekend resulting in the letter-writer throwing up on The El, and another booze-filled nightmare that ended with a guy unknowingly shaking his shit at a cop!
Have a weird/embarrassing/gross story you want read on the air? Is there a years-long movie-related feud in your family that you need quashed? Are you in desperate need of relationship advice, and you've tried literally everywhere else? Then write in to the WHM Mail Bag: [email protected]!

“It was only a matter of time before we drew this out of a hat…” - Andrew 
On this week’s episode, Listener Request Month heads to deep space as we talk about the legendary sci-fi failure, Supernova!
How many Academy Award-nominees does it take to fix a big-budget nightmare? Is this the horniest studio science fiction film? Is Robert Forster’s character getting a doctorate in cartoon studies? Despite it all, these are some pretty good ship and space effects. What's that orb's deal, really? And how many studio executives can you cram into one on-set writing trailer? PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!
Supernova stars James Spader, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Lou Diamond Phillips, Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, Wilson Cruz, and Vanessa Marshall as the voice of Sweetie; directed by “Thomas Lee.”

“It’s kind of a dirty movie…I was trying to imagine Travis Bickle taking a date to this” - Eric
On this month’s patron-requested We ❤️ Movies, we’re chatting about a real foundational flick for the four of us, Kevin Smith’s Clerks! How many VHS tapes did Chris Cabin’s house go through with this movie? How uncomfortable is it to say “View Askew-niverse” out loud? How hysterical is that funeral parlor cut? Could we bring Clerks to Broadway as a musical? And was the age of 11 too young for Steve to have seen this movie for the first time? PLUS: Michael Caine explains snowballing!
