“Powers Boothe is gonna show how bad JCVD is...” - Chris on the acting legend

On this special patrons-only WHM, we’re chatting about the outrageous JCVD Die Hard knock-off, Sudden Death! 

Where does this movie fall quality-wise in the JCVD filmography? In what world would the Vice President of the United States attend a professional hockey final? Was that whole opening scene actually supposed to be a monol...

On this edition of On-Screen Live, we're joined by artist and friend, Felipe Sobreiro to chat about his kick-ass comic work, along with an awesome-looking new project he’s got a Kickstarter for at the moment! He stuck around to help us review Clayface and the new restoration of the definitive cut of Ken Russell’s The Devils, and he humored Andrew and Eric by listening to them ramble about Tulsa King for a fashion! 

Click through here and kick in to Felipe’s Space Hell Kickstarter if you can. Let’s make this book a reality!

“This whole tracking shot is brilliant, it’s a super-flex” - Eric

On this episode, we’re kicking off We ❤️ Movies month with a chat about the total banger that is Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil! 

How absolutely off-putting is Captain Hank Quinlan in this movie? Is the opening tracking shot one of the most impressive feats in all of Old Hollywood? Wow, talk about bad luck with Janet Leigh and scuzzy, roadside motels, huh? And what on Earth was Quinlan thinking with that gross chili analogy? PLUS: Charlton Heston’s Mike Vargas purchases one product too m...

“We’re going back to the Hood with a significantly smaller budget!” - Andrew 

On this week’s episode, we’re closing out the 2026 Halloween Spooktacular by having our good buds, James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca from Dead Meat, back on to chat about the next chapter in the Leprechaun saga, Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha’ Hood! 

Why does the movie wait a full 30 minutes to really get the Leprechaun action going? Why are they bothering with this storybook device at the start? Is the cold open actually the end of a better Leprechaun movie? Is Laz Alonso the...

On this edition of On-Screen Live, we're playing catch-up on some stuff we've seen over the last few weeks, including the most divisive narrative of the year, Digger; the non-fiction smash hit, You Can See Everything; the R Pats-starring media thriller, Primetime, and two Halloween-time horror series that just dropped, Brad Caleb Kane's new Crystal Lake series on Peacock, and the Mike Flanagan-developed Carrie miniseries! We're also going over the weekend box office, and more!

Be sure to visit the WHM Merch shop over on Dashery and check out all the latest show-related designs you can slap...

“This is an ‘I Got It By the Way’ situation” - Steve 

The 2026 Halloween Spooktacular continues this week as we’re chatting about the better-than-the-original sequel, Child’s Play 2! 

How hilarious is it that this toy company insists on rebuilding the cursed doll to calm their shareholders? Why do these foster parents have so much terrifying clown stuff and breakable antiques in their home? Does Chucky have the strength of a man or the strength of a cursed doll? How much funnier is this one than the first? And has our society hidden a bygone era from us, w...

“Oh, they’re not doing re-shoots here…” - Andrew

On this week’s episode, the 2026 Halloween Spooktacular is just getting warmed up as we break down one of our all-time slasher faves, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives! 

How hilarious is this cold open with Tommy Jarvis and Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter? Is there another stunt in this franchise that comes close to the awesome RV flip in this movie? Is this the funniest Friday the 13th script? Has there been a better pop song used in these movies than Alice Cooper’s “He’s Back (The...

“This cheerleader is vicious!” - Andrew on that bathroom scene

On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, our Halloween Spooktacular takes over as we’re covering one of the absolute best horror films of the 1990s, Wes Craven’s Scream!

How incredible is that cold open? Did Chris really hear a lewd sound when Ta...

On the fall premiere of On-Screen Live, we're breaking down a great number of films we caught at this year's New York Film Festival!

The NYFF64 lineup is a great place to turn when clocking what good-to-great films are coming down the pike toward the end of this year, or into early next. On this episode, we're giving our thoughts on films like James Gray's masterful, '80s-set, New Yawk crime drama, Paper Tiger; the documentary that's rocking the film world and beyond, a jarring non-fiction title that is meeting the moment, NAZA; Werner Herzog's funny, sweet, o...

“I’ve seen this movie dozens of times” - Andrew

On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off the 2026 Halloween Spooktacular in grand fashion as we go long on Peter Jackson’s super-fun, paranormal comedy, The Frighteners!

Should they have tried to nail down a set of ghost rules for our spooky characters? Couldn’t Universal have waited and released this banger in October, instead of the summer, especially when Peter Jackson & Co. hadn’t finished the special effects?! How fantastic is Michael J. Fox leading this movie? Should the studio have let Jackson go even wilder w...

“Unfortunately, they forgot to make this a movie…” - Eric

On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the total misfire that is Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li!

Holy smokes, what were they thinking here? What in the world with this narration? Why was the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan the only actor who understood the assignment here? Was the Chris Klein performance one of the inspirations for Tim Heidecker’s classic ‘Decker’ character? And why the heck did they make M. Bison an Irish guy? PLUS: Do you have to take Pokémons to the vet?<...

“They’re making sure you got every dumb detail of that first movie” - Andrew on the opening flashback

On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the second entry in the massively successful sci-fi horror franchise, Resident Evil: Apocalypse! 

How janky is the CGI on those Licker monsters in the church? How hard is it to say ‘Raccoon City’ with a straight face? Shouldn’t the Raccoon City News be hosted by cute, little raccoons? How many people remembered the story from the first game? And could Nemesis have pulled it off working for MI6? PLUS: Th...

“I do have to imagine life with good, old Dan Challis… was a nightmare.” - Chris

On this week’s episode, we’re heading back to Santa Mira to chat about a cult classic par excellence, one of the most misunderstood, under-watched horror sequels of all time, Halloween III: Season of the Witch!

Is the public opinion on this movie one of the biggest 180s in horror history? How incredible is Tom Atkins, and his mustache, in this? Why would you bring sexy lingerie on a trip to uncover why your father was murdered? How about that...

Recorded Live at the Den Theatre in Chicago, IL, 22 March, 2026

“Way too much oral stuff in this movie!” - Eric

On this week’s WHM Live episode, it’s our raucous show from Chicago where we were talking a blue streak about the beloved Tom Hanks comedy, Big! 

How eerie is the third act of this movie? Shouldn’t Susan have been a bit more creeped out by Josh’s apartment? Is there a more terrifying sight than Robert Loggia being nice to people? How great would it be to have a 1980’s Jon Lovitz as a...

“I love this sad sack shit” - Eric on the father in this movie

On the first We ❤️ Movies episode of season 17, we’re chatting about a total all-timer cult classic, Adam Wingard’s The Guest!

Is this the single best Dan Stevens performance we’ve seen so far? How incredible is this soundtrack and score combo? Is this family too into Halloween? Is Leland Orser’s charac...

“I always wanted to see a cop car crash because of this movie!” - Eric on Midnight Run

On this very special episode of WHM, which also happens to be the Season 17 premiere(!), we’re so stoked to be chatting with John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the writing/directing duo behind hilarious films like Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, about their new action-packed buddy comedy, Mayday, while also breaking down one of their, and our, favorite buddy action/comedies, the great Midnight Run!

How much of a fantastic casting decision was it pair...

Recorded Live at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN, 20 March, 2026

“This show is rated PG-45…” - Steve on our live show content

On this Summer Live episode, it’s our rowdy show from the great city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we were touring in March of this year, chatting about the beefy, early-Arnold epic, Conan the Barbarian! 

How incredible is James Earl Jones’ wig in this movie? What’s with this feral dog man in the scouting party at the beginning? Did Arnold really punch that camel in the face? Should Sven-Ole Thorsen ever be this...

Recorded Live at the Hollywood Improv in Los Angeles, CA, 22 February, 2026

“Travolta just chops him in the neck!” - Steve on Bob Gunton’s character’s demise

On this week’s Summer Live episode, we’re releasing our Broken Arrow show from earlier this year, recorded in our favorite room to play on tour, the world-famous Hollywood Improv!

We were there playing to a packed house to chat about this near-forgotten John Travolta/Christian Slater action film that contains more than its fair share of character actors! Is it sad that audiences probably remember thi...

Recorded Live at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NY, 6 December, 2025

“These domes are too cheap to colonize Mars!” - Steve

On this Summer Live episode, it’s our 15th Anniversary Show from the Bell House where we were in rare form chatting about the Arnold sci-fi classic, Total Recall!

How hilarious is Arnold as this vague construction guy? Was this movie the Ground Zero for that Arnold Soundboard craze? Why does the Recall office only have the single chair if they’re the latest craze in techno-tainment? Why did they let Arnold get the proc...

“I saw [this movie] at 11 years old, opening weekend” - Eric

On this edition of We ❤️ Movies, we’re chatting about one of the landscape-shifting indie films of the 1990’s, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction! 

How incredible is this soundtrack? Have Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta had better chemistry with any other actors? Did a Jersey City realtor actually give QT the idea for the foot fetis...

Recorded Live in Oxford, England, 20 July, 2025
 
“He gets the crown put on his head, the Hobbits are there, it’s an amazing time” - Eric on Ralph’s Coronation

On our first Summer Live episode of the season, we’re releasing our outrageous show from closing night of last year’s residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival! 

This show was an incredible end to a super-fun run of six shows we had at the festival and wowza, King Ralph is certainly something, isn’t it? Is this moment-of-death photograph that starts the film technically a sn...

On the summer finale of On-Screen Live, we're reviewing Christopher Nolan's latest cinematic epic, The Odyssey, along with a review of the newest entry in a franchise that maybe shouldn't have been resurrected, Evil Dead Burn!

We also welcomed on Adam Meeks and Sean Weiner from the new film, Union County, for a special edition of Trailer Segment where we watched the new trailer for their film and then talked a bit after. Click through here to find a Union County screening near you when it opens on August 14!

And we closed out by recommending...

“This felt like a season of a television show” - Steve

On the season sixteen finale of WHM, we’re bringing the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to a close with a talk about the kinda-good/kinda-not Homecoming follow-up, Spider-Man: Far From Home!
 
How boring are these Elemental villains? Did they really need to do the European Vacation trope? Should they have instead taken the story to Hollywood to have Spider-Man tangle with the actual Quentin Beck special F/X whiz guy from the comics? How great is Gyllenhaal here? Did the MCU ever really grapple with The Bli...

“Somebody pressed the More Stifler button too many times” - Steve

On the penultimate episode of the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza, we’re going back for another serving of defiled dessert as we attempt to break down the sex-crazed sequel, American Wedding! 

Why couldn’t the script bother to tell us what happened to the missing friends in the cast? And if folks are missing, why not give the MILF Guys some more to do? Would this movie have started stronger if we had a scroll or old man narrator to kick things off? Did Eugene Levy and...

Originally recorded 20 July, 2025 in Oxford, England, UK

On this very special surprise episode, we're opening up the WHM Vault to release another recording from last year's residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival.

For that show, we covered the infamous Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Sub Rosa," where, yes, Dr. Crusher repeatedly has sex with a ghost (kind of)! We've also got the Enterprise using the transporter to dig up a coffin, a haunted candle, a colony on a planet that modeled itself after Scotland, Picard being bored at a funeral, and so much more! <...

It's the July 2026 WHM Mail Bag, so let's open that bad boy up!

On this edition of WHMMB, we're reading letters about a disastrous Friendsgiving blackout, a guy who saw a real life MELR0210 Sex Mom in the wild, someone who was broken up with after seeing Robocop (2014) in theaters, a guy who let his friend sell his own home instead of admitting he crapped on his lawn, a porno flick accidentally being rented to an old lady instead of Steel Magnolias, and more! 

Want your weird story read on the air? Have a hot f...

“Two hours and twelve minutes? You sunk my afternoon!” - Andrew

On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza is on a one-way train to Stupid City as we welcome in Junkfood Cinema’s Brian Salisbury to help us try to make sense of the abhorrent board game adaptation, Battleship! 

Why is it a full thirty minutes before you’re showing us aliens? Did the Halo creators have a suit with these mercenary outfits? Did the production have a dialect coach on set at all? Why did they decide to literally box Liam Neeson out of the...

“Folks, we’re gonna talk about the pizza here for a while…” - Eric

On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza has us chatting about one of the best comic book movies of all time, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2! 

How is this impossible pizza delivery situation even remotely Peter Parker’s fault? How incredible is J.K. Simmons in these original Raimi...

This episode was originally released as an episode of our Star Trek re-cap show, The Nexus on December 29, 2020

 “I love how he says ‘Black Hole’ in this movie” - Eric on Elder Spock

On this special WHM Vault Unlock, we’re adding some Star Trek to the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza with a lengthy discussion about the better-than-we-remembered 2009 reboot, Star Trek.

Were the lens flares really that bad? Are we still cool with the Beasties on the soundtrack? How rad was that Sulu swordplay? And Bones is just throwing around "hobgoblin" in this movie? PLUS: Remem...

On this edition of On-Screen Live, we're reviewing the next chapter in James Gunn's DC Universe, Supergirl, the final entry in the Jackass film legacy, Jackass: Best and Last, the fifth outing with our toy friends from the '90s in Toy Story 5, and the dreadful slop that is Citizen Vigilante! PLUS: A quick round-up of three recent-ish true crime titles!

Come hang out in Vegas with us this summer as we do a three-night stand at ST:LV to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek and 10 years of The Nexus! We’ll be at the convention Thursday, Fr...

“This divorce has less than two hours to live!” - Andrew on the script repairing DJ’s broken home

On this episode, we’re chatting about the Dwayne Johnson/Paul Giamatti disaster joint, San Andreas!

Is this outrageous geological event possible? Should DJ’s character take that helicopter for personal use? Does this film have one of the highest on-screen NPC death counts of any non-alien disaster film? Is this the most sexualized character DJ’s ever played? Is the Daniel Riddick character one of Cinema’s biggest cowards? Did we really need that little, British DSB? A...

“We’re all Minions!” - Chris

On this week’s show, we welcome back our buds and Animation Experts, Talking Simpsons’ Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert to help us chat about our little yellow guys’ first solo outing, Minions!

How did these little guys come to exist before humanity? What were the Minions up to between 1933 and 1945? Why did we need to hear all these insufferable needle drops? Why couldn’t we have stayed longer on the Minions working for Dracula? Should they have done a Take Two on some of these Big Celebrity Voice Castings? And...

On this edition of OSL, we're reviewing the new one from Steven Spielberg, Disclosure Day, the fun toy-factory re-boot no one seemed to care about, Masters of the Universe, and the awesome Nic Cage-starring Spider-Man riff, Spider-Noir!

Come hang out in Vegas with us this summer as we do a three-night stand at ST:LV, the world's largest and most bad-ass Star Trek convention, to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek and 10 years of The Nexus! We’ll be at the convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday night doing three Nexus shows on Wrath of Kahn, Generations, and First Co...

“He makes Steven Seagal look like Robert De Niro“ - Eric

On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the totally insane Chuck Norris-partnered-with-a-dog movie, Top Dog! 

How is this dog still alive with all the doughnuts this old man is feeding him? Has there ever been a less-convincing hangover performance than what we see at the start of this movie? Wait, this dog was shot five times in the line of duty? How hilarious is that guy’s freakout during the scene at the Mexican border? And how in the world is there this much w...

“[Ryan] Gosling ate this dude’s lunch” - Andrew, on Justin Chatwin 

On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza keeps the Spielberg chatter going from last week with a hilarious talk about his 2005 sci-fi adaptation, War of the Worlds! 

Couldn’t we have had some puppet aliens instead of those CGI guys? How fantastic is Tim Robbins playing this basement-dwelling lunatic? Should the boy have stayed exploded? How many of us would rather just turn to dust in this situation? And would this movie have been better with Eric as an extra? PLUS: Everyone say...

On our return to the air, we're reviewing the latest Star Wars product drop, The Mandalorian and Grogu, the final season of The Boys, Kane Parsons' indie horror sensation, Backrooms, and a sleepy Kiefer Sutherland Secret Movie™️!

Come hang out in Vegas with us this summer as we do a three-night stand at ST:LV to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek and 10 years of The Nexus! We’ll be at the convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday night doing three Nexus shows on Wrath of Kahn, Generations, and First Contact! Best part is, you don’t need to have a c...

“I feel like I could smell it through the TV” - Eric on Gwildor

This week on the program, we’re kicking off the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza by talking about the toy/cartoon adaptation that was anything but a blockbuster, 1987’s Masters of the Universe!

Could this Billy Barty character have been designed to look any more disgusting? Why did they insist on dragging James Tolkan through almost every scene of the movie? Is the Courteney Cox character actually trying to live out a Bruce Springsteen song? And why in the world is He-Man barely in this...

“Kylo Ren meeting Palpatine should be a big deal!” - Chris

On this week’s episode, we’re heading back to a galaxy far, far away once again to chat about the Star Wars film that flew the franchise into the mountain, The Rise of Skywalker!

Is this movie the best argument ever for why studios should never listen to the Internet? Has Richard E. Grant’s grand talent ever been more wasted than this role as General Pryde? Shouldn’t they have tried another way to handle the Leia issue? What a slap in the face wit...

“This movie has seen Scream… and Scream 2” - Andrew

On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the fun-enough satirical slasher sequel, Urban Legends: Final Cut! 

Why didn’t they think to have any classroom scenes in this film school-set movie? How hilarious is the kidney-bathtub sequence that’s completely on an island from the rest of the film? What kind of funding does this film school have, what with all these soundstages? Why exactly does Hart Bochner’s character think this scheme will lead to his Hollywood breakthrough? And what would an Urban Legend sequel loo...
