We feel a little guilty having done two Nic Cage movies and only one John Travolta flick. Taking that into consideration, we have chosen the “classic” sci-fi thriller Battlefield Earth as our next film. When you can take the scripture of Scientology and make it boring and obvious you have truly achieved a rare feat. If you are as impressed with this interplanetary suckfest as we are, tell us which award you wish The Razzies had bestowed upon it either on Earwolf, at HowDidThisGetMade@Earwolf.com , or via Facebook.

After our nap through The Last Airbender, we thought we’d take an adrenaline-fueled ride through hell with Drive Angry 3D. If you like your movies illogical, uninspiring, and full of weird sex, you’ve come to the right place. Curtis Gwinn joins Paul, June, and Jason to figure out why there are muscle cars in hell, how the casting process works, and what a “God Gun” is. Listen to hear if your Nic Cage movie pitch got chosen, and to learn how much it would cost you to make a film of this magnitude.

Listen, we’re sorry about that last movie. It was admittedly terrible beyond belief. But if there is one thing we can count on over at How Did This Get Made, it’s the work of Nic Cage. Won’t you join us for Drive Angry? It was shot in 3D! Here is your assignment: Pitch a Nic Cage film using the following guidelines- Nic Cage is a [BLANK] who is [BLANK]ed by [BLANK]s. Now he must [BLANK] before [BLANK] in [TITLE]. See you in a few!

Some movies are so bad they’re good, some are so bad they’re bad, and then there’s The Last Airbender. It’s the story of the lil’ Avatar that could, and is riddled with enough racism and weird dialogue to disorient you for days. Jon Daly somehow got roped into the torture of this movie, and joins Paul, June, and Jason to work through the pain. Listen to hear if your back-handed compliment was used, and leave us comments on Earwolf and Facebook if you can explain the whole moon princess storyline.

When The Razzies, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, and 9 year-olds all agree a movie is bad, it’s time for us to dig in! The Last Airbender is the universally despised M. Night Shyamalan film adaptation of a successful children’s show. Interested yet? You can rent it on Netflix and iTunes, and once you do, send us your back-handed compliments at howdidthisgetmade@earwolf.com

Where do we start with Old Dogs? Human puppet suits? A cross-eyed Rita Wilson? Sports marketing? Paul, June, and Jason invite Casey Wilson to help sift through the farts and crotch-shots that make up this 87 minute masterpiece. Casey and Paul reenact one of the more subtle, dramatic moments from the film, while Jason crosses the line with his jet-pack criticisms. Listen to see if your tag-line got used, and be sure to check us out on Facebook!

Is everyone ready for our third movie? For all you Netflix users, we’ve picked Old Dogs, quite possibly the WORST Robin Williams vehicle to grace Netflix Instant Watch. Enjoy it and send us YOUR original slogan ideas at HowDidThisGetMade@Earwolf.com.

Nic Cage makes his first (but almost definitely not last) appearance on How Did This Get Made with Season of the Witch, a psuedo-religious buddy movie set during the black plague. Chris Hardwick joins the HDTGM crew to experience the inconsistent accents and sub-par CGI that famed director Dominic Sena cultivated in this cinematic gem. They pitch some alternate endings, delve into the subtle differences between witches and demons, and ask the all important question: How many women were killed during the crusades? Keep leaving us your suggestions and tell us what you thought of this chain-mesh disaster!
