Did QT write this movie just so he could suck on Salma Hayek’s feet? How fantastic is Michael Parks at the start of this movie?

Hall, Amber Valletta, Kyra Sedgwick, Logan Herman, Ludacris, Aaron Yoo, Johnny Whitworth, John de Lancie, Milo Ventimiglia, Zoë Bell, John Leguizamo, Terry Crews, and Keith David as Agent Keith; directed by Neveldi

“He’s magnificent in this movie…” - Andrew on Brandon Lee On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, we’re finally chatting about the absolutely fantastic comic book adaptation, The Crow! Despite being a little bit of a bittersweet re-watch, this movie still absolutely rocks, including, of course, Brandon Lee’s amazing performance as Eric Draven!

“How do you not kill the guy on the toilet?” - Eric On the season 14 finale of We Hate Movies, the gang welcomes actor/comedian/podcaster/author/movie-lover and all-around good guy, Paul Scheer to the show to chat about the sleepy, yet kinda crazy monster movie, Arachnophobia! Why isn’t this movie just about John Goodman’s exterminator character? Why couldn’t the major spider at the end be a huge, dumb puppet monster? How funny is it that this movie doesn’t care about those kid characters at all? Why couldn’t we see that dumb sheriff eat shit on-screen?

Has there been a better cast pairing than Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen? Why did they need to include D-level mutant, Toad? Is Xavier charging these students for all that school merch?

“This is the goopiest movie of all time!” - Steve On this episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to space as we chat about the better-than-Andrew-remembered sci-fi sequel, Alien: Resurrection! How fantastic is Sigourney in this one? Shouldn’t Brad Dourif’s evil scientist have tried to train just one Xenomorph at a time instead of a Baker’s Dozen from the jump? Shouldn’t we have seen the initial pirate heist of these hyper-sleep people? Why couldn’t Christie have just shaken that dead alien off his boot? How great is that basketball shot? And how fabulous are all these gloopy, soupy, alien puppets?! PLUS: The guys come up with another great sci-fi horror pitch for the new film, Werewolf Astronaut!  Alien: Resurrection stars Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Dominique Pinon, Ron Perlman, Gary Dourdan, Michael Wincott, Kim Flowers, J.E.

Does Pixar have a suit over the design of that youngest daughter character? Does Gru have papers for these kids? How much of the script is Gru being humiliated in public? Why is this film so obsessed with Gru getting married? How funny are all the Weekend at Bernie’s-esque gags throughout this movie?
