Hate Watch / Great Watch Hunter M. Bush and Allison C. Yakulis

Recorded live from the South Street Art Mart, we’re joined once again by Nicole Wiegand and Nicole Krecicki to examine the Adam Sandler sci-fi drama Spaceman (2024) and ask the important questions, like: Why do people keep going to space? Was all Hunter’s Serious Sandler research worth it? and Are spiders the best dentists? Put on your space helmets and grab your Nutella, it’s Spaceman (2024)!

Fall in! This week, we’re talking about one of Allison’s banned childhood films, 1998’s Small Soldiers! In this movie about sentient toys, we discuss how there are no “educational action figures”, play Peter Lorre’s Monster Math, and ask: How regularly do you use the Pythagorean theorem? PLUS: Potentially the most despicable ADR joke in film history? Get small, muchachos, and pack your spare AAA batteries, it’s Small Soldiers!

On the HWGW Fifth Anniversary Episode, we reform the old Mount Mausoleum crew with Krystal Brackett and Nicole “Bottle” Carter to perform a post mortem on Beneath the Darkness (2011). Is this film actually a horror comedy? Is it a tourism video? Is Dennis Quaid the ultimate wife-guy? Join us as we discuss the plot, lighting (or lack thereof), and amusing extras and anecdotes such as: why you should never under any circumstances “D” your own “G”. Grab a flashlight and come join us as we uncover what, exactly lies Beneath the Darkness!

With just a few days until Wrestlemania 40 hits our beloved Philadelphia, we’re asking “Ken you smell what the Russell’s cooking?” because it’s RussellMania on HWGW! We’re talking about Ken Russell’s The Devils (1971), a film so controversial it may never have been shown in its full form! We discuss the film’s every shocking detail, plus the 2002 documentary Hell on Earth: The Desecration and Resurrection of The Devils, and still find time to rate celebrity alcohol brands, and make a surprising number of wrestling connections! So ring the bell; it’s time to celebrate Ken Russell’s The Devils!

On this episode of HWGW, we’re having a very NC-17 conversation about a very NC-17 movie from director Paul Verhoeven and writer Joe Eszterhas! We’re joined once again by Aliya Amilani to examine this legendarily misguided film, its legacy, and many more topics, like: hiccup cures, vaginal steaming, and how Yanni is a grindset pioneer. Plus: Remember when people were into sunning their taints? Put on your finest “Versayce”, cuz we’re talking about Showgirls (1995)!

This week, we’re diving into an old fashioned locked-room murder mystery with an eccentric twist in 1958’s The Snorkel! In this episode, we discuss MPA ratings, shooting day-for-night, We give out a very prestigious acting award and even recommend a double feature for Snorkel fans! Plus: Name our clock! So kick off your shoes and put on your swim fins, it’s: The Snorkel!
