We Hate Movies hit an awkward vein of comedy this week - movies you would have thought were great if you saw them when you were a stupid teenager.  They're entirely different from movies you would have thought were great if you saw them when you were a stupid child, because it's still recent enough that hearing about

If some of the suits De Niro wore in the movie hadn't actually belonged to Lefty Rosenthal, I would have assumed the movie's costume design was wildly exaggerated.

I feel Deadly Friend belongs in the top 10.  See it as soon as sandwichly possible.

The Beloosh is loose in We Hate Movies' 100th episode spectacular Taking Care of Business!  At almost two hours, it's a little overstuffed, but the Jim Belushi-hate is thrillingly palpable.

Man, Stompin' Tom.  He was corny and goofy and sometimes a little embarrassing, but dammit, he was proud to be Canadian, and I'm glad he was around for as long as he was.

My problem with HDTGM is that it is maddeningly inconsistent - sometimes it's completely hilarious, and sometimes it's just an hour of Jason yelling WHAT IS HAPPENING.

I've found myself using a Jupin-esque "Good gravy" a lot.

Listen, I held off on making a joke about slamming evil on the Phantom review, but I'm only human, man.  Or at least I was until I drank vodka from that mysterious shipwreck.

It gives me a wormy boner.

A banner week for bad movie podcasts - in addition to the superlative Oogieloves Flop House, We Hate Movies bonejacked my funny bone with Freejack!  It was a great combination of a goofy premise, a horribly miscast Mick Jagger, the far-flung future of 2009, and the welcome addition of Mike Ehrmantraut to the arsenal

This movie really gets going when the crew drinks vodka that turns them into hideous fish-mutants.

This movie wasn't born, so much as it fell out.

"Pierre Trudeau, no!"

Nuke!  If it's good enough for Tom Noonan, it's good enough for me.

A strong We Hate Movies this week, as the boys examine Aspen Extreme, a ski movie that features neither slobs nor snobs, but does have Paul Gross Who Is Still A Big Deal In Canada, Honest and also that guy who directed Battleship as indigent ski hobos.

Don't forget the Oscar-nominated combo of teenage rapist Philip Seymour Hoffman and his lawyer, Samuel L. Jackson.

He'd better watch out for Arborak, the Living Pointy Stick, too.

She's on that morning show with Kathy Lee Gifford.

He stayed out of his container for too long and dried up.  They had to throw him out.

We Hate Movies had a tough row to hoe this week, with the intrusion of a constant, irritating background buzz, a consequence of it being a live-on-tape episode.  Luckily, the topic was On Deadly Ground, and that movie is hilarious.  It's got everything you'd want in a WHM subject - it's a ridiculous vanity project
