Are you listening to this podcast on a computer? If so, you could be a villain in Speed 2! In this epic summer sequel we lament the absence of Keanu, marvel at the lack of deaths when a cruise ship levels a community, and wonder why computer genius Willem Dafoe has a gun if he never uses it. Do you have a bad summer movie you think we should cover?

Summer is about to start so why waste it going to the beach and having barbecues when you can watch terrible summer movies! This whole summer HDTGM is devoting itself to the best worst summer Movies and we’re starting the season off right with a truly awful sequel and we want YOUR suggestions for more bad summer movies for the next batch of episodes. We also want your questions for Danny Trejo who is joining us to discuss his newest film Badass. Submit your questions to the forums and enjoy!

On the Line is a tale as old as time, the love story of Turkey Sub and Hubcap. What happens when boy banders try their hand at acting? Bizarre sound effects, terrible musical performances, and lots and lots of chewing noises. Ike Barinholtz joins us to discuss a movie so shamefully bad that even its most ardent supporters hide themselves with nom de plumes. So tune into one of the 90,000 screens playing it, and while you’re at it, pick up a brand new How Did This Get Made? t-shirt!

There is no tiptoeing around it, this movie blows! Not even a French Peter Dinklage in cornrows can save this non-comedy about a full-sized dwarf dealing with his wife’s pregnancy. Not sold yet? Neither is Dave Holmes who joined us in watching this Sundance “Official Selection.” Check out Tiptoes if you haven’t yet, and pick up a brand new How Did This Get Made? shirt!

Just because Paul is hard at work down in New Orleans doesn’t mean we can’t make time to watch a shitty movie. And trust us, this week’s movie is one of the shittiest. We’re finally tackling one of our most highly requested movies, so prepare yourself and we’ll see you next week!

If you love Star Wars and Spaceballs, you’ll LOVE The Adventures of Pluto Nash. This intergalactic flop will leave you questioning Eddie Murphy’s career choices, the future of civilization, and your own sanity. Our guests Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair are down to deconstruct the confusing costuming and cloning that left us all stunned. Watch it if you must, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

We have an extra extra special minisode for you this week! We brought our guests Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair in a week early so you can get to know them and find out about their awesome new show Best Friends Forever. They talk about making out with each other, highlights of the first season, and awesome guest stars so that next week we can get down to the nitty gritty. See you then!

Oh, Abduction. We laughed, we cried (at least Jason did), we got uncomfortable, we were confused. Jessica Chaffin is our guest this week to unwrap the layers of awfulness that awarded Abduction its 4% score on Rotten Tomatoes. From the Pittsburghian influence to the subtle racism, we’re here to try to make sense of it all. Rent Abduction from Amazon using this link to support the show, and join us for this train-ride to mediocrity.

Who says werewolves can’t act? Everyone who saw this week’s movie, apparently. Listen in and find out which piece of garbage we’ll be watching this week AND which stellar logo will be adorning future How Did This Get Made? shirts! See ya next week!

Al Pacino is one of America’s finest film actors. Of course, you wouldn’t know that if you’ve only seen 88 Minutes. This week we invite Pete Holmes into the fold to suffer through this real-time adventure and the accompanying misogyny, unnecessary character names, and first draft dialogue. We’re more than happy to invite Pete into our “most secure files area.” If you haven’t yet watched the movie, use this link to rent it and help Earwolf simultaneously! Hooah!

There is a lot of business to attend to on this week’s Minisode. We have listener letters, we of course tell you which work of art we’re analyzing next, but we also want you to help us decide on our next t-shirt design! Head to EarwolfFacebook, or Tumblr to cast your vote before watching this week’s real-time Al Pacino “thriller.” If you rent the movie on Amazon through this link it helps us out, so watch it, vote, and join us next week!

Did you guys know that there is a crisis with our environment? If not, you must not have seen Birdemic: Shock and Terror, this week’s victim for a very special How Did This Get Made? LIVE! Our friend “Weird Al” Yankovic is on the panel to enjoy the CGI dancing, obvious typos, and complete lack of editing that made this thriller a cult classic. Also on hand is Whitney Moore, star of Birdemic, who tells us the truth about her robotic costar, shares insight into the audition process, and divulges information about the sequel. This is less like a podcast, and more like you’re Just Hanging Out with some friends.

February 21, 2012

A few weeks ago we invited How Did This Get Made? listeners to join us at Largo in Los Angeles for a conversation on Birdemic: Shock and Terror. Next week we invite you to listen in as “Weird Al” Yankovic and special guests from the film discuss this throw-back disaster. Watch Birdemic: Shock and Terror (use that link and it helps us out!) and we’ll see you next week!

Even if you’re still stuck in the credits of Cool as Ice, you probably know you’re in for something crazy! We watched it and invited Brian Huskey to join us in reveling in this relic of the early 90s. Weird biker gangs, inexplicable love stories, and the Witness Protection Program flesh out what is essentially a feature-length hip hop music video starring Vanilla Ice. What does Vanilla think of the movie? Learn as Rob Van Winkle joins the crew for the final few minutes to give insight into the stunts, the sets, and the jargon that has stood the test of time.
