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 happens when a horror movie enthusiast is "punished" with a musical TV show? On "Entertain This," Mitch finds himself surprisingly charmed by "Glee," despite his initial dread. Explore the unexpected joy in his journey as we discuss the eccentric dynamics of a high school glee club and the unconventional tactics of its dedicated teacher. This episode promises laughter with a side of horror as we highlight scientifically-backed scary movies and reflect on what genuinely terrifies us.
Join us as we unravel horror film tropes and discuss some fresh takes on the genre. We explore Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead," where a heist meets a zombie apocalypse, and celebrate the comedic brilliance of "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil." We also critically assess "The Haunting of Bly Manor," noting its shift from suspenseful horror to an unexpected love story. Our conversation delves into the evolution of horror films and the ever-refining art of jump scares, as well as the allure of found footage horror and iconic horror figures like Michael Myers.
As we expand our discussion to video game adaptations, we dive into the potential of TV series to offer richer narratives than movies. From exciting updates about the "Resident Evil" Netflix series to the nostalgia of classic games like Halo, we offer insights into how various media captivate audiences. With humorous anecdotes about Halloween pranks and haunted house experiences, we aim to entertain and inform, leaving you eager for more spooky stories and cinematic discussions.
