Hate Watching with Dan and Tony
Ever wondered how a movie so absurd can become a cult classic? Celebrate our 200th episode with a side-splitting critique of the 1987 oddity, "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie." We’ll walk you through everything from holiday schedules to whimsical dream workweeks, providing a hilarious backdrop to our disbelief and amusement at this film’s bizarre plot and over-the-top performances. Did you know Sean Astin's brother had a role in this chaos and faced strange contractual hurdles? Join us for genuine reactions, quirky trivia, and a nostalgic dive into the world of Garbage Pail Kids cards.
Get ready for a heavy dose of 80s nostalgia as we reminisce about collecting those iconic cards and laugh about not saving them for future value. We’ll share wild quotes from the film’s director and discuss ethically questionable practices during filming, including a possible Peter Dinklage cameo. From the wacky world of Oliver and the Artful Dodger to the Miami Vice-inspired antagonists Juice and Tangerine, our humorous critique covers every angle. And yes, we dig into the real-life drama behind the casting and breakups during production—spilling all the behind-the-scenes tea.
Buckle up as we navigate through the chaotic adventures of the Garbage Pail Kids, from improbable rescues to biker bar antics and nonsensical fashion shows. We’ll question the film’s intended audience and marvel at the plot inconsistencies—like the whimsical imprisonment of "ugly" characters—and hint at our upcoming review of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Whether it’s analyzing the characters' bizarre dynamics or laughing at the outrageous storyline, our lighthearted banter promises to keep you entertained.
