In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

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.

What makes a video game unforgettable? Could it be the challenge, the story, or perhaps the music? In this episode, we take a journey through the world of video game soundtracks that have left a lasting mark on our gaming lives. Mitch kicks off with his passion for the epic and haunting music of Elden Ring, particularly how it amps up the adrenaline during boss fights and dragon encounters. Meanwhile, Tom takes us back to the early 2000s with his love for the iconic Halo 2 soundtrack that shaped his multiplayer adventures. Together, we explore how these soundtracks become the heartbeat of our gaming experiences, intertwining with our emotions and etching unforgettable memories.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and we feel it deeply as we reminisce about the soundtracks that transport us back to simpler times. From the dramatic scores of the Batman Arkham series to the orchestral magic of "Shadows of the Empire" on the Nintendo 64, these musical masterpieces have a unique way of capturing the essence of their respective games. We toast to the synth and orchestral blend of Mass Effect, the catchy 8-bit nostalgia of "Ninja Turtles 2" on the NES, and even the less celebrated yet delightful tunes of Chrono Trigger. These discussions highlight how soundtracks do more than just accompany our games—they elevate our entire gaming experiences.
But the excitement doesn't end with music. Our episode brings a playful twist with trivia segments that challenge our knowledge and spark a friendly rivalry. From the original 150 Pokémon trivia to the intricate mechanics of Warzone 2.0, we test each other with rapid-fire questions. Add in some light-hearted movie trivia, and we promise laughs and surprises as we connect seemingly unrelated characters and scenes. Whether you're a fan of gaming soundtracks or just love a good trivia challenge, this episode is packed with engaging conversations and a healthy dose of nostalgia.
