You’d think that the comedic prowess of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the acting talents of Sinbad, and the star power of a Jim Belushi cameo would make for the ultimate Christmas movie! Instead we have an illogical and unbelievable commercial masked as a movie. Join the How Did This Get Made? crew and Joe Mande for this bonus holiday episode and listen in to hear if your Eardrop made it! Happy Holidays!

Tis the season! Our gift to you is an extra How Did This Get Made? celebrating the holiday classic (??) Jingle All The Way. Eardrop your best Arnold Schwarzenegger holiday greetings to @PaulScheer and you might show up on the episode! Check in later this week to hear the full episode.

Halle Berry is an Oscar winner, Catwoman is a beloved comic book icon, and Sharon Stone is the perfect villain. It would be tough to screw this movie up, but lo and behold! We watched Catwoman with Jamie Denbo and despite the occasional girl power messages and sometimes amusing witticisms, it revealed itself as an over CGI’d, poorly scripted, oddly dated mess. Tune in to hear your Eardrops and make sure you listen to our bonus minisode out today!

As long as they keep making awful adaptations of awesome comic books, we will continue to watch them! We want you to watch Catwoman with us and act out your own Gotham City scenes on Eardrop. Our favorite drop will be played on the podcast so include @PaulScheer in your tweet!

And now the exciting conclusion of our show at Largo! Our special guest is Jack O’Halloran who doesn’t just tell stories from the sets of Superman I & II, but clues us into the life of the world’s most infamous gangster’s son. You can find video of the complete Largo show online in the Earwolf Store (thanks to John Pope for helping us put it together) and you can find Paul and June (and many more) at Largo this Saturday for Paul Scheer’s Sexy X-Mas Spectacular!

This week we bring you How Did This Get Made? LIVE from Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles! Special guest Damon Lindelof joined us for this amazing night of awkward credits, poor storytelling, and bad direction. The night was so amazing that we’re releasing it in two separate installments! Come back next week to hear the rest of the show with yet another special guest. Thanks to Liezl Estipona who took the amazing photos of the event you see on Earwolf. You can, and should, find her photography book Liezl Was Here on Blurb.

Last week we had our first How Did This Get Made? LIVE! at Largo and we’re going to share it with you! But first, we’re giving you a week to watch the movie and prepare yourself for the insanity of Superman III. See you next week!

We’re very fortunate to have two experts this week joining us to discuss The Room. First off we have Steve Heisler from The AV Club who has made it his journalistic duty to learn everything he can about this disaster. Also joining us is Mark (Oh, hi Mark!), aka Greg Sestero who also worked behind-the-scenes as a producer. Tuxedo football, outdoor green screens, unnecessary double casting, Mark knows how it all came to be and he’s here to share it all with us. Enjoy!

Oh, hi there! One of the most requested, most beloved, and most revolutionary bad movies of our time has to be The Room. We’ve finally decided to tackle it and we’re going to do it right! The Room will be the latest How Did This Get Made? Director’s Edition as we bring in Greg Sestero, aka Mark, to talk to us about the production of this “black comedy.” Your assignment for this week is simple: WATCH THIS MOVIE!

We watched Leprechaun in the Hood, as you probably expected we would. Kumail Nanjiani is our guest, and he put this bad movie to the test. I realize these rhymes aren’t great, but this movie isn’t exactly first rate. Contain your howls and shrieks, and we’ll see you back here next week!

There are so many fantastically bad horror films we could have chosen for this Halloween episode of How Did This Get Made?! We’ve combined our love of cheesy horror and unnecessary sequels and selected Leprechaun in the Hood. Are you good at photoshop? This week’s game is for you. Design a better Leprechaun in the Hood poster for us and you might see it on Earwolf.com! Watch the movie, design the poster, get tickets for HDTGM LIVE, and have a spooky Halloween!

Is Aubrey a piano prodigy or a stripper? Is it all real or a piece of creative writing? Is this the worst movie Lindsay Lohan has ever been in or flat out the worst movie ever? These are just a few of the questions I Know Who Killed Me left us with. Ken Marino is our victim this week and he helps Paul, June, and Jason piece together the plot, characters, and ridiculous symbols that make this horror thriller such a bomb. Enjoy, and be sure to pick up your tickets to How Did This Get Made? LIVE at Largo on November 15th!

Lindsay Lohan contributed a lot of playful, positive art to the world of family films. And then she did I Know Who Killed Me. This week we watch our favorite Mean Girl transition from plucky teen to psychotic stripper (I think) and we try to do it sober, but in case we can’t we want to hear your ideas for drinking games! Leave them on the forums, pick up a Ridiculous Cage shirt, and come back next week!

This week’s How Did This Get Made? is the first of its kind. Our guests are Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone and Patton Oswalt, one of the movie’s most vocal supporters. Together with Paul and June (unfortunately Jason had to miss this one) they honestly explain how this movie got made: From the very first pitch meetings to the week after it was released. Hear how unfortunate timing, poor marketing, and mixed expectations affected the success of one of the coolest, craziest, most fun comic book adaptations of the decade (at least).

For the first time ever, How Did This Get Made? has invited a director to join us in discussing their movie. Our guests next week will be comedian Patton Oswalt and director Lexi Alexander who will help us discuss Punisher: War Zone. This episode is coming out earlier than usual (October 3rd) so submit your questions for Lexi as soon as possible. And if you live on Los Angeles, be sure to see Punisher: War Zone at the New Beverly on October 4th.
