Beth and Louise Hate Movies: The Podcast: Recent Episodes
Beth and Louise Robinson
The girls take a look at the work of director Adam Wingard, whose movie You're Next premiered at TIFF in 2011 and finally opened for wide release last weekend. After experiencing some serious appliance envy over the kitchen equipment in You're Next, we review Wingard's little-seen 2010 serial killer movie, A Horrible Way to Die.
In a desperate attempt to appease their only fan, Beth and Louise bite the (faster than a speeding) bullet, (man of) steel themselves, and watch 2013's most underwhelming orgy of destruction, Man of Steel.
What do the 2009 Greek satire Dogtooth and the 2012 stripper drama Magic Mike have in common? If you said, "nothing," "I wouldn't watch either with my parents," or "Sorry, I've never heard of Dogtooth," you're right, normal, and probably have friends. Unfortunately for Beth and Louise, they watched both movies this week and wanted to talk about both, so here are discussions of Dogtooth and Magic Mike crammed together in one big, sexy, hour-long episode. Also featuring a guest appearance from Louise's cat, Flannery O'Connor.
The girls get controversial in the second episode of the podcast, Movie Boycotts. Alternative subtitle: How You Can Virtually Guarantee the Movie You Hate will Make Tons of Money.
In the first episode of the podcast, cranky critics Beth and Louise look at the movies they hate the most, and what constitutes a truly hate-worthy, disappointing movie.
