What Were They Thinking?

Back to the weird Don Bluth well this week as the guys are joined by space rooster expert Monica Taylor to discuss Rock-a-Doodle. They discuss the wildly inconsistent size perspective when it comes to the characters, the sexualizing of a pheasant and Brendan's conflicted childhood reactions to it, the shortest musical number ever, the incredibly bad blending of live-action and animation... and muc...

This week, the suffering is on full blast for one participant as Nathan and Brendan are joined by frequent guest Galen Howard to dive into the colossal misfire with one of the best casts in cinema history - Movie 43. They discuss the jokes that don't make any sense and that are completely forgotten about minutes later, sketches that seem to be incomplete, the fact that this movie somehow got the r...

It's November so you know what that means... TURTLE TIME! Nathan and Brendan dive back into the endless Gamera series for the 2006 (and final to this date) entry - Gamera the Brave. Nathan isn't quite as enthusiastic as he usually is for these movies and complains about the terribly rendered effects (yes, in a Gamera movie!) and the guys also discuss the very uncomfortable beach scene, all of the...

It's time to ease back into the regular schedule as the guys (and returning guest Sharon Horwatt) take a look at a lavish musical with horror elements in the form of The Phantom of the Opera starring Gerard Butler. They talk about the major differences in subtlety between the film and the stage musical, Joel Schumacher's maniacal direction of the performers, the magical horse that only appears onc...

Schlocktober Sequel Month concludes with a breakdown of one of the worst movies Gene Siskel proclaims he saw during his entire career as a film critic - Exorcist II: Heretic. Regan is back and this time it's personal! Oh wait, no - they're just investigating the death of Father Merrin and riding on demonic locusts on trips to Africa! The guys talk about this horrible sequel and the weird brain-syn...

Schlocktober Sequel Month rolls on with a breakdown of a very weird sequel to a hit 80s horror film. Yes, that's right. Galen Howard returns and joins the guys in discussing Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy. Brendan has a wild interpretation over a scene in which he believes moustache thievery has taken place and the guys also discuss the Chekhov clues that are never followed up on properly, the...

Schlocktober Sequel Month continues with a discussion of the oft-maligned Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Yep, it's the one where Freddy enters the dreams of an unborn child to terrorize an expectant mother. Oh, the 80s. The guys talk about 28-year old teenagers, the film's very clear position on abortion, Super Freddy, a character that shockingly makes it to the end of the film and mu...

Brent is back again and this time he helps the guys kick off Schlocktober Sequel Month by talking all about the ill-advised carbon copy of a movie, The Rage: Carrie 2. They discuss this sequel basically acting as a remake of the De Palma film, the coach that must have worked at Penn State, the "best friend" character that talks to the protagonist in two quick scenes, the amazing finale of the film...

This week, it's our fifth Thursday of the month so it's time for a Small-Screen Shameful - the guys talk all about the 2014 zombie movie Toxin, not to be confused with the Danny Glover film of the same name. Joining them is THE Christopher Lee... FROM the movie! Christopher regales them with stories about missed opportunities with the filmmaking, lines that were inexplicably switched to different...

Joining the guys this week is Shyamalan expert Lindsay Escoffery as they discuss one of his bigger blunders - the bedtime fable Lady in the Water. They talk about the miles and miles of voiceover at the beginning, Paul Giamatti's one particular scene that makes Brendan question if he's a good actor or not, Shyamalan casting himself as an important writer who will CHANGE THE WORLD, the nasty "criti...

This week, the guys have apparently opened up the scope of the podcast to other forms of media as they tackle the 90-minute Nintendo commercial The Wizard starring Fred Savage and the debut of Super Mario 3. The guys also discuss the dark familial turns the movie takes, the shared universe with Over the Top, crazy button-bashing, the creepy "kid-catcher" and much more. Check our social media on Su...

A bit of a respite from the usual this week as the guys look back at the last year of movies covered on the podcast and decide the ten worst and best, give out demerits for terrible accents and much more! Check our social media on Sunday for the Sunday Screencrap and take a guess at our next movie! Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can always shoot us an e-mail at wwttpodcast@gmail.com  Check...

The guys are all over the road this week as they talk about the road-rage/serial killer thriller Unhinged starring Russell Crowe. Joining them is returning guest Galen Howard, who has lots of theories about a fake mother. The guys discuss the film in-depth and wonder - is Russell Crowe delivering the performance of a lifetime? Is there such thing as TOO MUCH foreshadowing? How much does Galen know...

This week, the gang returns to the tried-and-true trove of bad movies: video game adaptations. Joining them is returning guest Brent of the Home Video Hustle who is DETERMINED to let everyone know a character dies in the movie despite their appearance at the end. They talk about the movie's plot having almost nothing to do with the video game, 20,000 gigabytes, Jin's multiple girlfriends, the only...

Ohhhh, the 90s. The guys are joined by Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to talk all about the 90s Quentin Tarantino wannabe action/comedy hitman movie The Big Hit. They talk about Mark Wahlberg playing a very questionable hero on multiple levels, Lou Diamond Phillips making ALL of the acting choices, being addicted to masturbation (along with Steve's favourite line), video stores...

The guys dive back into the world of Cannon Films to talk about the wonderfully cheesy action-filled Revenge of the Ninja. They talk about kung-fu grandmas, small children having competitive fights with trained assassins, Sho Kosugi playing... Cho and the totally unearned heroic death scene. Plus: Brendan talks about his unique viewing experience of the movie and later - the guys' minds are blown...

This week, a special guest co-host enters the fray and Jason MacLeod stops by to aid in the discussion of a weird 80s comedy starring... Daniel Day-Lewis?! Yep. They discuss the film Stars and Bars, a movie seemingly tailor-made for Hugh Grant years before Hollywood had created Hugh Grant the dopey romantic comedy star. They talk about the lack of jokes (seems to be a theme for these kinds of movi...

Super Summer Flopbuster Month concludes with a discussion of the SUPER-silly and nonsensical 1984 romp - Supergirl. Returning guest Joshua Kotsabasakis joins the guys to talk about how the film is clearly written by a man, the inappropriate romantic relationships, Faye Dunaway's amazing performance, Peter O'Toole acting like a total jerk and much, MUCH more. Squirt? Check our social media on Sunda...

Another superhero summer movie... of sorts. This week, the guys wax poetic about the abysmal blockbuster comedy flop The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Why waste $100 million on THIS script!? Was Eddie Murphy napping during the entire production? What was with that sound effect that came on every time Randy Quaid spoke? Why did it seem like the dialogue mostly improvised (and badly at that)? A sexy rob...

Continuing with this month's theme, the guys bring back Josh Kotsabasakis to help break down the infamous 2004 flop Catwoman. The guys talk about the overlong cat-filled opening credits that seem to run out of ideas, the infamous handwriting analysis scene, Alex Borstein's completely pointless character, all of the cat puns, the huge plot revelation in the last five minutes of the movie and much,...

Back to the HOSTS picking the movies, damn it! This week, we start off a very special Super Summer Flopbuster season by talking all about the Robert Townsend superhero flick The Meteor Man. Is this silly superhero movie based in Republican logic? Why does this children's movie have so many drive-by shootings? Are satin baseball jackets and bleach-blonde hair really that scary for a gang? And how d...

Listeners Choice Month finishes off with a movie that many warned about and caused a firestorm of online rage from any poor soul that witnessed the release of the very misbegotten premise and trailer. The guys talk about the truly offensive premise combined with some of the laziest filmmaking in cinema history, the random M. Night Shyamalan slam, racist foreshadowing, the iPhone edit, the most inf...

The penultimate episode of Listeners Choice Month caps off with the longest episode in WWTT history! Joining the guys for this one is returning guest Joshua Kotsabasakis as they discuss... Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They talk all about the legendary "MARTHA!" scene, the dull colour palette, the bizarre and infuriating Jimmy Olsen cameo, the movie's weird connection to Lethal Weapon 4 and...

Listeners Choice Month rolls forward with this breakdown of the Don Bluth's last hurrah (as of 2022, anyway) into feature-length film: the 2000 flop Titan A.E. In the span of this episode, the guys discuss Matt Damon's super-90s flippy haircut making it into the character design, the fantastic Don Bluth animation having a very weird collaboration with some sloppy CGI, the most obvious double-cross...

Listeners Choice Month continues with a pick from Brent of the Home Video Hustle podcast. The guys are bestowed with A Haunted House, the horror/parody starring Marlon Wayans alongside some pretty talented improv comedians. They talk about every and all things including Marlon Wayans getting intimate with stuffed animals, talented comedians attempting to elevate rather dire material, VERY subtle g...
