Episode #757: Twister REDUX
Added 2024-09-10 04:00:16 +0000 UTC
“How do you not kill the daddy?” - Eric, on previous iterations of the script
On the season 15 premiere of We Hate Movies, last season’s VHS Trailer Game Champion, Chris Cabin, selects Twister as the redux title to kick things off! How entertaining is Phoffman in this one? Was the dad at the beginning of this movie able to surf that cellar door for a few seconds? What’s going on with that Cary Elwes accent? And is this movie responsible for breaking up Van Halen? PLUS: We start with the VHS Trailer Game Cameo appearance—and it is a laugh riot!
Twister stars Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Jami Gertz, Cary Elwes, Lois Smith, Alan Ruck, Sean Whalen, Scott Thomson, Todd Field, Joey Slotnick, Wendie Josepher, Jeremy Davies, Zach Grenier, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Dusty; directed by Jan de Bont.

Listening to them say the breakfast steaks are the most unappetizing thing, meanwhile I've been dreaming of this fucking breakfast my whole life until my now husband made it for my family and I a few ears ago because we love this movie in my house😭

Funny how you guys uploaded this as I'm starting HBO's Big Love. Gotta love Bill Paxton.

References to the “only 3 mics” days hurt me a little because early on I’d established my own WHM headcannon that Chris and Eric (who seemed to rotate in and out the most) were in some horrible blood feud and would only appear together for a movie they both truly loved. As always, the reality was much more mundane.

Sincerely, this episode was a banger and such a nice surprise! More REDUX episodes might be a great (and welcomed) addition to PATREON. Thank you so much for the much needed laughs and I’ve commented this before…. “COME BACK TO MILWAUKEE!!!”

Joey Pants needs to be the defacto Cameo every year going foward, just so we can any new additions to his house you guys are helping him buy.

Never thought I'd have to use my automotive expertise to define "steptruck" but here I am:
As a ford man I will use the Thunderbird as an example of steptruck. The eleventh generation of thunderbird shares the same platform as Jaguar which they developed together. These are two very different families of automotive manufacturers. So an F150 could fuck a Thunderbird even though they are both Fords since the Thunderbird comes from a Jaguar making them steptrucks.
Does this make sense?
I would not classify a Lincoln or Mercury as steptrucks, I would call these cousin trucks to Ford since they share the same body styles and manufacturer.

This is one of my top comfort movies, I totally understand falling asleep to it. Love all the PSH praise, he was one of few celebrity/actor death that genuinely hurt.
Also I need a shirt that says "STEAK SLUT" above a picture of Eric's face.

And Joe Pantoliano will still be alive when the episode comes out right? Excuse me, you didn’t answer you just kind of traveled off there

Saying that Judy Garland got caught in the Suck Zone of Death in 1969 and “step truck” are both top tier bangers. Well done Chris Cabin holy crap this was a great ep from all the boys all around

Hey, I just listened to the first one in the archives bc of the new movie. I forgot y’all used to edit in sound bites but frankly your impressions are infinitely better than that now. Can’t wait to listen! My friends and I were weirdly obsessed with Twister and my bestie wanted to be a storm chaser. Granted, we were like, 6 when this movie came out, haha.

I had the weirdest misremembering if the opening of this movie. As a kid I could have sworn Jo's dad was played by Jim Varney. Really changed the tone of that scene imaging Ernest surfing that door up to heaven!

Yes, I was 100% making a reference to Piven's line about the wonderful bird show! - Andrew

A rare second comment... am I mistaken or did we get a PCU reference with the "the birdcage the birdcage the wonderful birdcage" bit? Well it's "the bird show" in PCU, yet Andrew most definitely channels Jeremy Piven when saying it. Also, PCU... when's that happening or will that be the final WHM episode as the closing arguments for their thesis?

The only downside is Andrew can't talk about watching it on a 4k disc, because that is still inexplicably non-existent.

I’m in a hospital waiting room and “Stephen Suck Zone” made me Dad laugh so hard and loud that I’m surprised I wasn’t kicked out.

I started this last night when the episode dropped just to hear the cameo. I was listening with headphones on in bed while my wife was asleep.
I did that thing where you stifle laughter and basically start convulsing uncontrollably.

Listening to this at 6am, pretty sure I woke up my neighbours from laughing so hard at Mr. Pants' chaotic Cameo.

Just saw the video on Youtube. It exceeded my expectations. Joey said Delilah couldn't care less...he looked like he couldn't care less. Just lounging like he should be, raking in the Cameo money. No notes! Thank you!

I held it together until 'Darla, be quiet', and then I just lost it on the bus. Incredible.
