“Mank was right, the twister looks good!” - Andrew on the special effects
On this week’s episode, We ❤️ Movies month concludes with an absolutely wild conversation on the beloved 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz! How beautiful is all the craft to behold on-screen as this movie unfolds? Where’s the story where the town revolts against that disgusting Miss Gulch? Wait, how many times did that dog actor portray a dog named Toto? How great is all the vaudeville physical comedy these actors utilize? And in a film filled with terror, how horrifying are those talking trees? PLUS: Did the CIA put the poison in Oz’s poppy fields?
The Wizard of Oz stars Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, Charley Grapevine, Clara Blandick, and Terry as Toto; directed by Victor Fleming.

S15 Ep769: Gladiator (W❤️M)
“This will be a particularly ignorant episode… from an historical standpoint” - Steve, on WHM’s lack of history education
On this week’s special We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about Royal Rid’s 2000-era action epic, Gladiator! How great of a run did this film set off for Russell Crowe? How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence? Is the CGI’d Oliver Reed the first cinematic instance of Hollywood going to Tarkin Town and should we be calling it Oliver Reed-ville instead? And how funny is that “They Say No” decapitation? PLUS: How is this movie only one of THREE times Royal Rid was nominated for Best Director?
Gladiator stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, David Schofield, John Shrapnel, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Oliver Reed as Proximo; directed by Ridley Scott.

S15 Ep768: U.S. Marshals (PREVIEW)
“It’s almost too much of a conspiracy for a sequel to The Fugitive to handle.” - Andrew, on the conspiracy plot
On this very special patrons-only episode of We Hate Movies, we’re chatting about the soggy, unnecessary continuation of The Fugitive, which is a flawless movie, it’s the very flawed sequel, U.S. Marshals! Why couldn’t Wesley be allowed to do some martial arts in these fight scenes? Why is it just another hunt for a wrongfully accused fella? Is this film one of the first ever instances of—hold it right there! This episode is for subscribers only!

S15 Ep767: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (W❤️M)
“Granny shagger!” - Steve, on Aragorn and Arwen’s vast age gap
On this week’s We ❤️ Movies, we’re chatting about the absolutely magnificent conclusion to the journey, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King! First of all, yes, we are discussing the four-hour and twenty-three-minute extended edition! How magnificent is John Noble’s demise in this movie? Of all the stuff they could’ve cut from the theatrical, why on Earth did they ditch Sarumon’s big fall? How horny is Eowyn for Aragorn? Was there a funnier way to include Sean Bean in that one scene? And should The Hobbit trilogy be re-evaluated? (Andrew thinks so!) PLUS: Samwise is framed for leaving nothing but Krackel in the Halloween variety pack!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Bernard Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, John Noble, Miranda Otto, John Rhys-Davies, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler, Karl Urban, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, and Ian McKellen as Gandalf; directed by Peter Jackson.
Our show this weekend in Portland is sold out, but tickets are still available for our show this Friday in Seattle! We're stoked to hit the PNW after so many years away, so let's get ready to party!

S15: Introducing: OSCARS... What Were They Thinking?!
Ever watched the Oscars and thought, “What were they thinking?” Why do some films sweep Best Picture while better ones are overlooked? Why do great actors miss out on Oscars for their best roles? And why do beloved box office hits get snubbed while little-seen films rake in awards? If these questions resonate, check out this new podcast. Search OSCARS… What Were They Thinking?! wherever you’re listening, or click here.
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.
