We Hate Movies

WHM Entertainment

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.

Your Stupid Opinions

James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman

Two comedians, James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman, explore the most opinionated part of the internet.. the reviews section! Each week, we find the comedy and absurdity in reviews of anything and everything. No matter what -- these reviews will be passionate, and probably pretty stupid!
