We Love to Watch

Another pilot project by the We Love to Watch Network in association with the Crushed Celluloid Network! Marcus Jones and Pete Moran take on one Ernest movie and one Ernest show per episode. The ultimate battle: our nostalgia for this lovable doofus versus our knowledge that this is all very very stupid.

The year is 1982. Thermonuclear war between the Russians and the Americans could happen at any minute. The USSR has developed a stealth fighter that's faster and better than anything the US has, and listen to this: it fires bombs by thought. Seems like a dramatically terrible idea, but the US wants it anyway. And Clint Eastwood is the only one who can get it. We're joined by Joseph Finn, in the 5...

Oh hai, WLTW fans! The Great Podcast Council of Haidoggy decreed that all movie podcasts must cover 2006's The Room at some point.

In the late 70s, Wes Craven set out to make a grungy horror movie in the California desert. What he came out with was a bona-fied classic. 3 decades later, he decides to team up with a "hot young director" in Alexandre Aja to remake the movie. Did Aja and Craven top the original movie? Tune in to find out. We're available on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Tunein, and a broken old CB radio in the co...

Our month on killer rednecks, KILLBILLIES VOL. 2, hikes on with the horror-comedy TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL! Two good ol' boys are heading to their summer home/fixer-upper, and run afoul of a bunch of douchebag teens and Allison, a nice teen.

In our first entry of CARPING ABOUT CARPENTER month, John Carpenter channels the popularity of Stephen King, the themes of Lovecraft, and the "very good at playing crazy" of Sam Neill.

You can find us...

Just before 1990, three "under the sea" thrillers came out, all around the same time, and are frequently confused for one another. DeepStar Six, about an undersea crew setting up a Navy missile launch center, Leviathan about an undersea mining crew working for a corporation, and James Cameron's The Abyss, about Ed Harris looking pissed off to be wet. We'll take on the first two movies today, and p...

"Get your ass to Mars." - John F Kennedy From the earliest days of our species, we looked up at the sky and saw a red marble staring back at us. We waited to go. Waited until our best were ready. Finally, they were: Tom Sizemore and Gary Sinise. What was their conveyance? The second week of DOUBLE TROUBLE month! Peter and Aaron get a double dose of double trouble when Douglas Laman AND Michael Gua...

So, we promised you a break from more episodes this week. SURPRISE, we actually went back and did another episode on Futuresport, to meet listener demand (citation needed).

Aaron and Pete finish up MUSICAL MAY with Xanadu, a film with Olivia Newton-John and ELO and Gene Kelly in it. That's... all I can say.

We made a deal with the devil, and found ourselves joined, once again, by Adam and Dustin Koski, or "The Broskis" for short. We're hitting the high note of Musical May with Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise. Will Peter finally like a goddamn musical? Will the sweet Paul Williams snuggle Peter's angry heart down with his sweet melodies? Maybe stop reading a podcast description and find out fo...
