What Were They Thinking? - A Podcast About Really Bad Movies

Joining Nathan and Brendan this week is Liz of the Nerdy Bitches Podcast (a self-admitted fan of Bad Arnold Movies) to help dissect this totally strange 80s Schwarzenegger relic known as "Raw Deal." Much is discussed here including the lack of one-liners for our star, the infamous cake scene, the massive amounts of law-breaking that goes unpunished, horrible taste in dress fashion and much more.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie.

They talk about a wrestler re-naming himself Hugh G. Rection, Ric Flair not even bothering to put his wrestling gear on to face Shane Douglas, the main event just being one giant commercial for Ready to Rumble, the most tasteless spot in a wrestling show and much more.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie.

Is this the most controversial episode ever? Put on your tinfoil hats as Nathan, Brendan and returning guest Ryan Gilbert discuss the beloved cult classic They Live featuring Roddy Piper, magic sunglasses and apparently two completely different movies.

Is it terrible? Is it brilliant? Brendan, returning guest Mariah and a surprise guest co-host (don't worry - Nathan will be back next week) attempt to solve this conundrum when they discuss Spice World, a movie picked by Mariah and near and dear to her heart. They discuss how the film has virtually no plot, Brendan gets upset over the problematic Scary Spice bits, the alien scene is discussed in great detail and much, much more.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie.

In a very special Valentine's Day episode, the guys are joined by lovebirds Steve and Izzy of Everything I Learned from Movies to talk about... well... Valentine. Yes, it's the wild slasher from 2001 that dares you to genuinely like or feel sympathy for a single person in the film, revels in its "pretty accurate" portrayal of weird art shows, introduces characters in a Hitchcockian manner and features early work by Master Thespian Katherine Heigl. Plus - the ultimate debate: did Dorothy help or did the killer work alone?

Heller!   Yes, it's time for Nathan and Brendan to revisit the TPCU (Tyler Perry Cinematic Universe) with the controversially-titled Madea Goes to Jail in that the title of the film only applies for about 15-20 minutes. The guys talk about Rudy Huxtable as a prostitute, the maniacal shifts of tone in the film between sketch comedy and harrowing drama, Uncle Joe's deadly lifestyle, Duke University, the legality of a police sting operation and much more.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie.

All good things must come to an end. Or something like that. The finale of Recently Regrettable focuses on quite possibly the most tasteless piece of cinema that Nathan and Brendan (and returning guest Amanda the Jedi) have ever covered on the podcast - The Haunting of Sharon Tate. Yes, it's director Daniel Farrands' "tribute" to the victims of the Manson Family Murders done as a schlocky horror film. You'll hear all about his desperate attempt to reach out to Debra Tate, the god-awful ADR, the acting resembling a high school play, one of the stupidest endings in recent memory and much more. Also: an opinion that will shake the very fabric of this podcast.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie. Check on Facebook or Twitter on Monday for the reveal!   You can check out Amanda's epic YouTube takedown of the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azllPZA3i40& Amanda the Jedi on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheHybridPhoenix Amanda's Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/amandathejedi Follow Aman

The takedown of last year continues with another horror flick - this time it's the 'evil kid' dud, The Prodigy starring Taylor Schilling, Colm Feore and no one else that matters. Nathan and Brendan talk about wasting actors in expository roles, creepy cuddling, old laptops and tape recorders, one major plot hole that reveals itself during the final moments of the movie and much more.   The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie, which will be the final installment in the "Recently Regrettable" series focusing on the worst of 2019.

This week, Nathan and Brendan continue their journey through some of the worst films from 2019 with John Travolta's misguided attempt at an Oscar under the watchful eye of director Fred Durst (yes, he of Limp Bizkit fame) in The Fanatic. The guys talk about John Travolta's British accent, Leah being the ultimate villain, how this film seems to hate every type of viewer and of course the Limp Bizkit scene.

The show is still on vacation until next week so until then, please enjoy a rerun of their discussion regarding the Christmas "classic" - Surviving Christmas.   They go into a lot of background on the film like how it was a colossal box office failure when it opened in October (?), Ben Affleck's character being a total psychopath, the movie being comprised of tons of improv but the one great improvisational performer being completely shortchanged, the character of "Dooda," Catherine O'Hara's very complicated character trajectory, the last half-hour of the movie that plays out like a sitcom and much more. Plus: Brendan can NOT tell the difference between Chris Evans and Chris Pine.   Next week: A clip of one of our Patreon Exclusive episodes!   Patreon: www.patreon.com/wwttpodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/wwttpodcast Twitter: www.twitter.com/wwttpodcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/wwttpodcast Theme Song recorded by Taylor Sheasgreen: www.facebook.com/themotorleague Logo designed by Mariah Lirette: www.insta

It's time for the official Christmas episode... and that means only one thing. Mariah is back on the show, bay bay! Long Dong Silver joins the guys to talk about a pretty mean-spirited Disney flick featuring sociopath Jonathan Taylor Thomas, cute-as-a-button Jessica Biel, Discount Steve Carell, Tom Jones grannies and so many 90s cliches.
