We Hate Movies

On the fall premiere of On-Screen Live, we're breaking down a great number of films we caught at this year's New York Film Festival!
The NYFF64 lineup is a great place to turn when clocking what good-to-great films are coming down the pike toward the end of this year, or into early next. On this episode, we're giving our thoughts on films like James Gray's masterful, '80s-set, New Yawk crime drama, Paper Tiger; the documentary that's rocking the film world and beyond, a jarring non-fiction title that is meeting the moment, NAZA; Werner Herzog's funny, sweet, oddball return to narrative filmmaking, the excellently-titled, Bucking Fastard; William Greaves and David Greaves's miracle of documentary cinema, the absolutely stunning Once Upon a Time in Harlem; Andor's Tony Gilroy's return to the director's chair after 14 years, the wild Pedro Pascal classical cellist drama, Behemoth!; and much, much more!
On-Screen Live is our industry business and current release show where we chat about box office, react to new trailers, and review recent film and television that we catch! It airs live on our YouTube channel select Mondays at noon/eastern. Subscribe to our channel to be notified the next time we're scheduled to go live!

“I’ve seen this movie dozens of times” - Andrew
On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off the 2026 Halloween Spooktacular in grand fashion as we go long on Peter Jackson’s super-fun, paranormal comedy, The Frighteners!
Should they have tried to nail down a set of ghost rules for our spooky characters? Couldn’t Universal have waited and released this banger in October, instead of the summer, especially when Peter Jackson & Co. hadn’t finished the special effects?! How fantastic is Michael J. Fox leading this movie? Should the studio have let Jackson go even wilder with the horror elements? Is this movie, fun as it is, possibly overstuffed? Are there many things more spooktacular than Jake Busey’s terrifying, vacant stare? And who wants to make a rezzy and grab dinner at Excalibur’s? PLUS: A Spooktacular round of the VHS Trailer Game! 
The Frighteners stars Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado, Peter Dobson, Jeffrey Combs, Dee Wallace, John Astin, Chi McBride, Jim Fife, Troy Evans, Julianna McCarthy, R. Lee Ermey, Elizabeth Hawthorne, and Jake Busey as Johnny Bartlett; directed by Peter Jackson.

“Unfortunately, they forgot to make this a movie…” - Eric
On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the total misfire that is Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li!

Holy smokes, what were they thinking here? What in the world with this narration? Why was the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan the only actor who understood the assignment here? Was the Chris Klein performance one of the inspirations for Tim Heidecker’s classic ‘Decker’ character? And why the heck did they make M. Bison an Irish guy? PLUS: Do you have to take Pokémons to the vet?
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li stars Kristin Kreuk, Chris Klein, Robin Shou, Moon Bloodgood, Josie Ho, Taboo, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Neal McDonough as Mike Bison; directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak.

“They’re making sure you got every dumb detail of that first movie” - Andrew on the opening flashback
On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the second entry in the massively successful sci-fi horror franchise, Resident Evil: Apocalypse! 
How janky is the CGI on those Licker monsters in the church? How hard is it to say ‘Raccoon City’ with a straight face? Shouldn’t the Raccoon City News be hosted by cute, little raccoons? How many people remembered the story from the first game? And could Nemesis have pulled it off working for MI6? PLUS: The season 17 start of the VHS Trailer Game! 
Resident Evil: Apocalypse stars Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, Thomas Kretschmann, Sophie Vavasseur, Raz Adoti, Mike Epps, Sandrine Holt, Matthew G. Taylor, Zack Ward, Iain Glen, and Jared Harris as Dr. Ashford; directed by Alexander Witt.

“I do have to imagine life with good, old Dan Challis… was a nightmare.” - Chris
On this week’s episode, we’re heading back to Santa Mira to chat about a cult classic par excellence, one of the most misunderstood, under-watched horror sequels of all time, Halloween III: Season of the Witch!

Is the public opinion on this movie one of the biggest 180s in horror history? How incredible is Tom Atkins, and his mustache, in this? Why would you bring sexy lingerie on a trip to uncover why your father was murdered? How about that wild-ass score by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth? Why are all the murder-bots set to ‘pulverize’ mode? Does Dr. Challis have a Bond/Moneypenny thing with this coroner character? And how great is Dan O’Herlihy as the villainous Conal Cochran? PLUS: The Devil gets cancelled!
Halloween III: Season of the Witch stars Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelson, Michael Currie, Ralph Strait, Jade Barber, Brad Schacter, Gary Stephens, Nancy Kyes, Al Berry, and Dan O’Herlihy as Conal Cochran; directed by Tommy Lee Wallace.
