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

In the first of two Christmas-themed flicks this month, Nathan and Brendan attempt to... well... survive "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. Also: listen in for a clue regarding the next great Christmas movie that will be covered. You can find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/wwttpodcast), Twitter & Instagram (@wwttpodcast for both). Our theme song was recorded by Taylor Sheasgreen. You can check out him and his band Lionsault on Facebook. You can also follow Montrose Monkington the Third on Facebook an

Last week's guest Joshua Kotsabasakis decided to come back and help Nathan & Brendan dig through the ol' mailbag. They answer questions about future episodes, recasting "Spawn" and do a horrible job trying to go through John Leguizamo's acting credits. Also: Nathan finally gets a Gamera question! The guys also reveal their next film and it's a "delightful romp" of a Christmas film.

Nathan and Brendan welcome back frequent guest and comic book aficionado Joshua Kotsabasakis for an occasionally super nerdy chat regarding the 1997 Image Comics "masterpiece" - Spawn.

It's the return of your favourite slab of turtle meat as Nathan and Brendan talk all things Gamera with his latest foe in "Gamera vs. Gyaos." This is another entry in the insane legacy of Gamera so you know there is tons to talk about including (but not limited to) some of the accent choices by the actors doing the dubbing, the merry-go-round of engineered fake blood, the invisible cows, the epic battle between Gamera and Gyaos getting highly sexual and of course the worst human being in film history - Itchy.

This time out, Nathan and Brendan are joined by returning guest Mariah Lirette as they discuss the overhyped cinematic dumpster known as "The Human Centipede."

What an awesome opportunity! Brendan was able to sit down with three performers from one of the best 'bad movies' of all-time, "The Room." Robyn Paris ("Michelle") talked about the difficulty of not cracking up on-set, Carolyn Minnott ("Claudette") talked about the legendary breast cancer line that led to nothing and Dan Janjigian talked about attending the premiere for "The Disaster Artist."

Nathan welcomes his brother Gary on as a guest and along with Brendan, the three of them discuss the borderline-community theatre production otherwise known as the low-budget schlockfest, "The Demons of Ludlow." As the gang attempt to regain their sanity, they talk about everything including the director seemingly not even using lights, Sybil the drunken bedroom dweller, death by pudding, the unstable girl obsessed with dolls and the ending that doesn't make one lick of sense.

YO JOE! Nathan & Brendan (as well as special guest and GI Joe diehard Matthew Pettifer) talk all things G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, another horrible attempt at an adaptation of something people genuinely enjoyed.

A mere week after tackling Bad Boys II, Nathan & Brendan open up the mailbag this week for all of your Michael Bay-centric questions (save for one). Does Michael Bay truly care about making films even to this day? What kind of Trailer Park Boys-inspired beverage does he bring to mind? And why is casual racism one of his worst hallmarks? All this and more plus a very special appearance by someone who is very well-endowed. The guys also reveal their next film in the Summer Flopbuster/Lackluster/Schlockbuster/whatever you want to call it series which includes more stuff blowing up and soldiers. Yee-haw!

It's about damn time as Nathan & Brendan finally enter the Michael Bay-niverse to talk about the sequel to arguably one of his better earlier works - Bad Boys II. This one, however, is anything but the original. Explosions? Check. Will Smith saying the N-word over and over again? Check. Joey Pants attempting to overact more than Gary Oldman in "Criminal"? Check. The guys discuss everything from the charisma of Smith and Lawrence constantly trying to overpower the god-awful script, the strange appearance by Michael Shannon (we all gotta start somewhere), Matt Walsh possibly acting as a corpse, the worst undercover agent of all-time and of course - cats and iguanas. Somebody PLEASE figure out... cats and iguanas. Also: listen in for a clue in this episode regarding the next great film that will be covered.

Nathan & Brendan dived head-first right into a Disney nightmare wrapped in a romantic sub-plot wrapped in a goofy comedy wrapped in an action epic. That's right, they watched "The Lone Ranger" and boy oh boy, did they ever have some things to get off their chests! The guys talk about everything from one of the most questionable casting choices of the 21st and 20th century, Helena Bonham-Carter's miniscule role being enough to land her on the poster, the unnecessary wrap-around story and the final line of the movie that figuratively urinates on anyone who was a fan of the source material.
