Hate Watch / Great Watch

Hello excellent humans! Hunter and Allison like to watch movies. Hunter and Allison’s friends like to watch movies, too. Each episode we watch a new film with a new special guest and talk about it - the good, the bad, the confusing, the behind-the-scenes tidbits, the movies it reminds us of, and the things we can laugh about. Coming from our very own yellow kitchen to your waiting ears, laugh, learn, and reminisce with us as we cover the movies we love and the movies we love to hate. Hate Watch / Great Watch: it’s like watching a movie with your friends, but better!

    Episode 0145: LOVE BITES (1988)

    We’re bringing Vamp-tober to a close on Hate Watch/Great Watch with our pal Will Congleton discussing a direct-to-video, gay, west coast, softcore porno romance! On this episode we decide that we’re more of a “vice podcast” than an “advice podcast”; We examine the specific vocal cadence porno actors have; and ask: Who is the most famous person where you’ve seen the back of their balls? Hunter’s answer may surprise you! PLUS: we pitch a Shakespeare x Vampires mash-up! Get ready for a 347 year release, it’s Love Bites (1988)!

    Episode 0144: NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE (1979)

    On our second episode of Vamp-tober, we’re joined by Gabby Reeves to talk about Werner Herzog’s 1979 remake of a silent-era classic. Topics of discussion include Hunter’s dark history with telemarketing; How hyenas were once on trend; and how the events of the film all began with a land deal! PLUS: We ordain the new face of tantra (and you won’t believe who it is!) AND: shout out to Dracula Daily! Protect ya neck, it’s Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)!

    Episode 0143: JUGULAR WINE: A VAMPIRE ODYSSEY (1994)

    We’re kicking off our all-vampire Vamp-tober block with a low budget, high concept flick that we discovered in a foot stool! Filmed on location in Pennsylvania, California, Louisiana, Utah, and Alaska, (!!!) this film is the dictionary definition of an odyssey! We discuss the movie in depth, including whatever we could glean about its cast, crew, and production! PLUS: Allison invents the term “shampire”. Count up your frequent-flyer miles, it’s Jugular Wine: A Vampire Odyssey (1994)!

    Episode 0142: REAL STEEL (2011)

    Many call boxing “the sweet science”, well they don’t know the half of it! On this episode of HWGW, we’re discussing the 2011 robot boxing movie Real Steel! While the film can’t settle on one plot through-line to follow, we basically stay on topic, discussing author Richard Matheson’s original Twilight Zone episode, what we would name our boxing bots, and why director Shawn Levy’s Free Guy s-t-i-n-k-s. PLUS: praise for BattleBots! Engage your pugilism protocols, it’s Real Steel (2011)!

    Episode 0141: CARNIVAL MAGIC (1983)

    Step right up! Step right up! Aydan Schlaffman returns to Hate Watch/Great Watch for a truly left-field pick: Al Adamson’s magician-with-a-monkey programmer Carnival Magic (1983)! We discuss apes & chimps in popular culture, rant about animal safety and superhero bodies, and discuss our favorite carnival rides. PLUS: we cast Young Markov! Grab your seats, the show’s about to start. It’s Carnival Magic (1983)!

    Episode 0140: ALISON'S BIRTHDAY (1981)

    It’s almost co-host Allison’s birthday, so we’re celebrating with, perhaps, the most appropriate film we could choose. Find out why Sylvester Stallone (probably) loves the opening scene in this Australian folk horror creep-fest that features a replica of Stonehenge, an honest-to-goodness Graveyard Smash, and a perfect example of the difference between “a chase” and “a pursuit”. PLUS: we have a Benny Hill -related request. Put on your party hats and break out the fairy bread, it’s Alison’s Birthday (1981)!

    1h 26m

    Episode 0139: BEVERLY HILLS COP 4: AXEL F. (2024)

    We thought that the prophecy had been fulfilled, but it turns out there was a little more prophecy left. Tina Dillon and Michael Chalfin return once again to discuss the exploits of our favorite coastal transplant Axel Foley! We play How Many Michaels?, invent a new Patreon tier for all you foot freaks, and wonder what was up with that Syphilis billboard. PLUS: Just this once we do away with our usual ratings metric! Make sure to get your tailpipe checked for bananas after 40, it’s Beverly Hills Cop 4: Axel F.!

    Episode 0138: HIGH FIDELITY (2000)

    This week on HWGW we’re reviewing High Fidelity (2000)! Top Five Topics of Discussion on This Episode: 1 - How the film’s use of toxic masculinity is intentional AND has been misread for years! 2 - The uncomfy gray areas between being inclusive and protecting your space 3 - How you shouldn’t refer to your life and experiences as “lore” 4 - Allison’s music taste & Hunter’s musical past 5 - The Gift of the Magi, (weirdly) Plus: Does anyone remember the commercial Hunter mentions?
