Season 2 Episode 6 - Lethal Weapon (1987)
You're not to old for this shit- the first installment in the action / comedy series Lethal Weapon. Starring Danny Glover as Sgt. Murtaugh and Mel Gibson as the "wildcard," Martin Riggs.  On the surface, this is a fast paced, action packed film that has some good laughs. But dig a little deeper and you'll find that there is a lot more than that going on. Written by Shane Black, Lethal Weapon covers a lot of topics that your average 1980's action movie wouldn't dare to touch. #lethalweapon #toooldforthisshit

Season 2 Episode 5 - The Terminator
This time, the guys go back to 1984 with James Cameron's classic, The Terminator. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the titular role, Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor and Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese. In a career defining role, Arnold plays The Terminator, back from 2029 to assassinate Sarah Connor, the mother of the future John Connor who will lead the Resistence. Kyle Reese is also sent back, but his role is to protect. A film with a simple-yet-complicated story, every minute is enjoyable and action packed. #terminator #illbeback #podcast

This week, we're on Mars in the year 2040. A group of astronauts, led by Elias Koteas and Liev Schreiber, discover an organic compound on Mars. Upon further investigation, it's something much more dangerous than they thought possible. A good looking film that has some flaws and touches on a lot of things, but never truly embraces its identity.

Season 1 - Spring Breakers (redux)
Hey everyone! WHA is on a break between seasons, but we wanted to use this opportunity to re-release our most popular episode from Season 1... with improvements. The audio has been cleaned up and it's a shinier, better polished release than before. The description from last time... Today, Tim and Ben talk about the 2012 Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers. Starring Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens in very non-Disney roles and James Franco as the rapper Alien, we find four college girls who are sick of the mundane trying to get to Spring Break, no matter what takes from violence to sex to prayer. Beautifully shot and very convoluted.

Season 1 Episode 7 - Pulp Fiction
In this episode, our first request, Ben and Tim take a non linear journey through one of the most important independent films of all time, Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs earned a lot of attention for Tarantino, but Pulp Fiction thrust into the limelight as the quality director that he is. Jules and Vincent work for Marsellus, the man that runs the town. They're sent on a mission to retrieve a case and things go a little wrong. Vincent is given a different kind of mission to take Marsellus' wife out for a night on the town. Things go really wrong. Butch is paid to throw a fight but throws the plan for a curve... And things go wrong... until Butch can turn the tide.  Weave your way through three story lines focusing on a group of characters anchored by an incredible cast that includes Jules (Samuel L Jackson), Vincent (John Travolta), Butch (Bruce Willis), Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), Lance (Eric Stoltz), Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) and Ringo (Tim Roth) among others.  Listen at the link below or find us on iTunes, Stitcher, Podcast Addict and Podcast Republic! #quentintarantino #podcast #pulpfiction #iTunes

Season 1 Episode 6 - Nightcrawler (2014)
"The closer you look, the darker it gets" was the tagline for Nightcrawler and it lets you in on a secret about the film- Louis Bloom and the news media are two things you don't want to look at closely. In this film, there is Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), a quite intelligent but untrustworthy person who is just trying to make a buck when he finds the perfect outlet for his dark tendencies. He brings on an assistant, Rick (Riz Ahmed) and cuts a deal with KWLA news producer Nina (Rene Russo) to supply her with news footage like she's never seen. Join Tim and Ben as they discuss Dan Gilroy's wonderful directorial debut and see a less talked about seedy underbelly of Los Angeles.
