We Hate Movies

Recorded at the HeadGum studio in sunny Los Angeles! On a very special WHM Mail Bag, the gang welcomes If I Were You's Amir Blumenfeld on to read letters about earthquakes, giving up on rotten movies, bad date etiquette, Halloween pranks gone awry, parents showing their young kids inappropriate horror films, and sexy escapades gone terribly, terribly wrong!  Be sure to check out Amir's show, If I Were You as well as all the other rad shows on the network over at HeadGum!

Happy Halloween, gang! Just in time for the year's greatest holiday, we're here to rank the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise! With wretched jokes, ridiculous back stories, actually produced fan fiction, a crude remake, and one Grade-A Tom Arnold/Roseanne Barr cameo, the Nightmare franchise has somehow aged into one of the worst of the "big" horror franchises. PLUS: John Saxon will always be there for a friend to ask, "How ya holdin' up?" Unlock Exclusive Content!: http://www.patreon.com/wehatemovies See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode, the guys go back to school with the spectacularly ridiculous, high school spy comedy, If Looks Could Kill!
