On this week's episode, the 2021 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza kicks off with an outrageous conversation about the live-action 1996 fiasco, 101 Dalmatians! Why couldn't they make the dogs talk, a la classic cinematic masterpiece, Look Who's Talking Now? How dumb is it that Jeff Daniels's character is a video game designer? And how hard was John Hughes ripping off his own Home Alone material here? PLUS: As is the case with all WHM episodes centered around family films, this episode gets filthy! Don't listen to this one in the car with the kids! 101 Dalmatians stars Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson, Joan Plowright, Hugh Laurie, and Mark Williams; directed by Stephen Herek.

On this week's episode, the guys take a trip to Franchise Town to discuss the absolutely dreadful, completely joyless sequel, Saw III! Why didn't someone point out how hilarious everyone yelling "Jeff" throughout a film sounds? Why did we need to see a flashback of Jigsaw prepping the first film's test? And would this franchise have been better served by casting a different NKOTB member in every film? PLUS: JEFF! Saw III stars Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh, Donnie Wahlberg, and Dina Meyer; directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. Check out WHM at FRQNCY in June!

This week on the show, the long-awaited crossover event is here as Henry Gilbert and Bob Mackey from the great Talking Simpsons podcast are hanging out to chat about the 87-minute missed opportunity, The Simpsons Movie! Why weren't Mr. Burns or Sideshow Bob the villain of the film? If it had to be an Albert Brooks-voiced character, why not Hank Scorpio? Did we really need to see Bart's genitals? And really, who is this movie for? PLUS: Transforming those 7-11s into Kwik-E-Marts was a terrible idea. The Simpsons Movie stars Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Russi Taylor, Maggie Roswell, and Albert Brooks; directed by David Silverman.

On this week's episode, the gang is chatting about the gateway-crossing sci-fi flick, Stargate! Could they have trimmed Russell's hair any more high and any more tight? Why did those people attend Spader's lecture just to heckle him? And how cool would it be to have the Wheezin' the Juice Guy as your father-in-law? PLUS: Russell Rules!
