We Hate Movies

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: Remember, this was recorded in August 2020, so the months of lockdown madness are in full-effect. It's probably why this episode was three hours long!

Star Trek stars Leonard Nimoy, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Ben Cross, Winona Ryder, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Morrison, and Clifton Collins Jr.; directed by J. J. Abrams.

“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? And why couldn’t The Rock and Paul Giamatti have had even one scene together? PLUS: The guys pitch a Tremors legacy sequel!
San Andreas stars Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Art Parkinson, Will Yun Lee, Kylie Minogue, and Paul Giamatti as Dr. Lawrence Hayes; directed by Brad Peyton.

“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 doesn’t all this work much better without Gru and them kids? PLUS: Were the Minions just God’s perfect mistake? 
Minions stars the voice talents of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, Geoffrey Rush, Steve Carell, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Pierre Coffin as The Minions; directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin.
