How Did This Get Made?
May 16, 2011
The result of our Facebook poll is in! Did you get confused between the awesome comic and the terrible movie known as Jonah Hex? Did your vote for Mac & Me come with a large Coke and a side of fries? Or did you get invaded by the aliens of Skyline while completing the questionnaire? Whichever one you picked, it’s time to watch it and send us the moral of the crappy, awful story!

EP. 9 — Fast Five
Guest Adam Scott
Fast Five might be a critical success and an “event in cinema” (Vin’s words, not ours) but that doesn’t make it immune to criticism. Paul, June, Jason, and Adam Scott discuss the prison bus flip sequence, the chase scene ending with a pregnancy reveal, and all the chronological confusion that lies beneath an otherwise incredible action flick.

At How Did This Get Made we love explosions, ridiculous dialogue, bad acting, and film franchises that go on way too long. Therefore we present to you our ninth selection: Fast Five. Write in with your title ideas for the sixth Fast & Furious film, and vote on our Facebook Poll to help decide on our next movie.

Zack Snyder made a two hour music video called Sucker Punch and we’re here to tell you why you shouldn’t see it. Paul, Jason, June and Chelsea Peretti fought fate to watch this disaster and are attempting the impossible: Explaining what the hell it’s about. Between the rape dancing, the comic book costumes, and the bizarre performance of Mr. Blue we can’t guarantee you closure but we can guarantee you some laughs!

We read your emails, and it sounds as though a lot of you have been Sucker Punched by Zach Snyder’s latest foray into slow-motion nonsense. Join us next week for an in-depth discussion of Sucker Punch and all it entails, from lobotomies to molestation . You can help us out by filling out the following analogy: Sucker Punch is to Female Empowerment as [Blank] is to [Blank]. See you next week!

Sorry for the delay with this episode, but it takes a while to fully comprehend All About Steve. Paul, Jason, June, and special guest Brandon Johnson tried their hardest, but still couldn’t figure out how this mildly racist, poorly structured, bizarrely performed movie got made. See if you can guess how much money this flop cost to make, and listen for your alternate horror movie titles.

It is rumored that Battlefield Earth contains subliminal messages designed to brainwash people into joining The Church of Scientology. If so, Paul, Jason, June, and Rob Huebel are the smartest, most able-minded people ever to sit down and suffer through it. If you share Jason’s rage at the inconsistency of this film or Rob’s anger at the extreme un-sexiness of the characters, than you must join us for this celebration of awfulness. Plus, listen to hear if your Razzie category was selected. Keep sending in your movie suggestions, and join us on Facebook.

We feel a little guilty having done two Nic Cage movies and only one John Travolta flick. Taking that into consideration, we have chosen the “classic” sci-fi thriller Battlefield Earth as our next film. When you can take the scripture of Scientology and make it boring and obvious you have truly achieved a rare feat. If you are as impressed with this interplanetary suckfest as we are, tell us which award you wish The Razzies had bestowed upon it either on Earwolf, at HowDidThisGetMade@Earwolf.com , or via Facebook.

After our nap through The Last Airbender, we thought we’d take an adrenaline-fueled ride through hell with Drive Angry 3D. If you like your movies illogical, uninspiring, and full of weird sex, you’ve come to the right place. Curtis Gwinn joins Paul, June, and Jason to figure out why there are muscle cars in hell, how the casting process works, and what a “God Gun” is. Listen to hear if your Nic Cage movie pitch got chosen, and to learn how much it would cost you to make a film of this magnitude.

Listen, we’re sorry about that last movie. It was admittedly terrible beyond belief. But if there is one thing we can count on over at How Did This Get Made, it’s the work of Nic Cage. Won’t you join us for Drive Angry? It was shot in 3D! Here is your assignment: Pitch a Nic Cage film using the following guidelines- Nic Cage is a [BLANK] who is [BLANK]ed by [BLANK]s. Now he must [BLANK] before [BLANK] in [TITLE]. See you in a few!

Some movies are so bad they’re good, some are so bad they’re bad, and then there’s The Last Airbender. It’s the story of the lil’ Avatar that could, and is riddled with enough racism and weird dialogue to disorient you for days. Jon Daly somehow got roped into the torture of this movie, and joins Paul, June, and Jason to work through the pain. Listen to hear if your back-handed compliment was used, and leave us comments on Earwolf and Facebook if you can explain the whole moon princess storyline.

When The Razzies, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, and 9 year-olds all agree a movie is bad, it’s time for us to dig in! The Last Airbender is the universally despised M. Night Shyamalan film adaptation of a successful children’s show. Interested yet? You can rent it on Netflix and iTunes, and once you do, send us your back-handed compliments at howdidthisgetmade@earwolf.com

EP. 3 — Old Dogs
Guest Casey Wilson
Where do we start with Old Dogs? Human puppet suits? A cross-eyed Rita Wilson? Sports marketing? Paul, June, and Jason invite Casey Wilson to help sift through the farts and crotch-shots that make up this 87 minute masterpiece. Casey and Paul reenact one of the more subtle, dramatic moments from the film, while Jason crosses the line with his jet-pack criticisms. Listen to see if your tag-line got used, and be sure to check us out on Facebook!

Is everyone ready for our third movie? For all you Netflix users, we’ve picked Old Dogs, quite possibly the WORST Robin Williams vehicle to grace Netflix Instant Watch. Enjoy it and send us YOUR original slogan ideas at HowDidThisGetMade@Earwolf.com.
