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.

Happy John Woo-LY everyone!
In this series we are spending the month of July by taking a look at four movies (one each week) from one of our favorite action directors - the legendary John Woo!
We're continuing John Woo-LY with 1990's Bullet in the Head - a criminally underrated spiritual prequel to his famous A Better Tomorrow series. This movie is a lot darker than we remembered - but it is still a beautiful movie!
If you enjoy content like this, maybe you'd like to check out our weekly podcast Two Asian Blokes, where we chat about Asian pop culture.
