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.

The Wicker Man has a measly 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Does it deserve this terrible score? Jonah Ray is in the studio to deconstruct and celebrate the ridiculousness of this Neil Labute remake disaster. We also get a call from Liam O’Donnell, one of the writers of Skyline, who defends his movie and offers up an explanation of how it got made. In case that isn’t enough, we’ve got a special tease into our next episode which you can expect earlier than normal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a special ceremony to attend.

It’s been too long since we visited our old friend Nic Cage! Our next movie choice is a highly requested selection from Nicholas’ resume: The Wicker Man. You have a week to find it online and enjoy 102 minutes of Ridiculous Cage before we deconstruct it for you (and possibly revisit Skyline). See you next week!

For nearly a decade, Gigli has been a go-to punchline for hack comedians. Does it hold up to it’s bad movie reputation? Danielle Schneider joins us this week to deconstruct one of the most monumentally bad movies of the millennium. This movie is garbage on every level, from the painfully awkward acting to the politically incorrect plot. Head over to Netflix Instant to see for yourself, and then join us to learn How Did This Get Made?!

How did we get this far without covering Gigli? The quintessential bad movie, it has remained a go-to punchline for nearly a decade. Catch Gigli out on DVD or Netflix Instant, and be sure to give us your new and improved title right here on Earwolf.

Summer is winding down and you have time for one last big-budget action thriller! Sorry, we can’t help you with that. Instead we have a meager-budget alien movie without a compelling story, relatable characters, or cool looking aliens. The Brothers Strause have done it again! Skyline is the movie and our guest is Jordan Morris from Jordan, Jesse Go! and All About Steve. The plot is unbelievable, the dialogue is atrocious, Jason is angry, Paul is confused, what more could you want? Jordan talking about his experience on All About Steve? Well you got it!

This week Paul F. Tompkins joins Jason, June and Paul to breakdown the 2011 kid’s movie The Smurfs. They discuss the unnecessarily smurf-complicated language, the awkward casting, and ponder “was Azrael the cat the best actor in this movie?” and Paul introduces the first ever Second Opinions segment! If you’ve got a child’s heart, or had to drag your children to see this movie, you’ll enjoy this episode!

When the most striking attributes of a film are its too-loud eating sounds and hot dog centric bloopers, you know it’s a prime candidate for How Did This Get Made?! This week Jackie Clarke joins Paul, June, and Jason to travel through the cheese caves and baby pools that populate this JLo flick. If you were concerned by the drinking, put off by the pratfalls, or curious about bush sightings, you are not alone! Listen in and maybe, just maybe, you’ll hear your own backup plan.

At some point between Selena and American Idol, JLo began to fancy herself a comedian. This revelation blessed us with awful films like The Wedding Planner, Monster-in-Law, and this week’s movie The Back-up Plan. Don’t start making up excuses to miss this movie, unless of course you’re going to send them in to be read on air. Enjoy and see you next week!

In darkest night Paul, June, Jason, and Paul Rust went to see Green Lantern. In brightest day they reunited to figure out what the hell happened. You’d think that the art of the comic book movie would be perfected by now, but with it’s awful CGI, ultra-quippy dialogue, and awkward pacing and storytelling, Green Lantern is certainly the exception. Even Jason who has read the comics didn’t understand what was happening most of the time! If this film left you just as confused and unhappy, come commiserate with the gang and hopefully your questions will be answered. No guarantees though.

Comic book movies are huge right now! But unlike past summers with The Dark Knight, Kick-Ass, and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, we’re stuck with Green Lantern and its whopping 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. Who knows why it’s such a failure, but I’m sure the dumb poem isn’t helping. Leave your better poems here on Earwolf and on Facebook.
