 “I’m scanning pornography into the computer to make a lady!” - Eric as George W. Bush On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the 1985 John Hughes-directed, sci-fi sex comedy, Weird Science! How strange is it that back in the day, these creep-tacular incels were just considered harmless, lovable nerds? Why would they cut out all the solid Bride of Frankenstein conversation from the theatrical cut? Has there been a better titular song in cinema? Is this weird science, or weird computer magic? How cool is all the reversed footage at the end? And are those grandparents dead or what? PLUS: Christopher Nolan - huge Weird Science fan? Weird Science stars Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Suzanne Snyder, Judie Aronson, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Rusler, Vernon Wells, Britt Leach, Michael Berryman, and the late, great Bill Paxton as Chet; directed by John Hughes.

Why couldn’t they edit these action scenes a little more clearly so you can follow this stuff? How lame is it to set your film “a certain time from now”? Did we really need to hear that Marilyn Manson “Sweet Dreams” cover in a movie again? Is Michael C. Hall’s character one of the worst villains in action cinema? And do these poor bastard avatar people get any days off from killing adventures?

Despite being a little bit of a bittersweet re-watch, this movie still absolutely rocks, including, of course, Brandon Lee’s amazing performance as Eric Draven!

S14 Ep753: The Crow (W❤️M, PREVIEW)

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.
