“We Hate Movies” Podcast Delivers Killer Comedy Through Its New Craven Tier
The horror world has plenty of podcasts clawing for attention, but few have the power to grab your attention, or the sheer chaotic charisma of We Hate Movies. Hosted by Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin, the long-running comedy show has developed a kind of gravitational pull among movie lovers who crave equal parts smart criticism and absurd riffs. Recently myself and other horror fans who are part of their avid listener base have been delighted to see they have added a new tier to their Patreon specific to horror content. This new “Craven” tier includes an evolving slate of horror-focused bonus shows.
This new tier feels like a sly wink to Wes Craven himself and an invitation to plunge deeper into the spooky side of WHM’s cinematic mischief. It’s pitched at horror fans who don’t just enjoy being scared. Plus, people who want to hear four grown men gleefully dissect why “The Lawnmower Man” should be illegal or how certain ’90s slashers are funnier than half the comedies released today.
Much of this renewed energy comes from “WHM After Dark”, a bonus AMA like series that lets the hosts connect with the fans of the show and maybe even talk a little bit about some horror movies. The vibe is looser, weirder, and beautifully unfiltered. Horror fans also get a chance to hear their new show “Scaredy Cats” and get the thrill of hearing a show that leans into the best part of horror fandom, a place with the perfect balance between fear and fun. There is even access to their horror specific episodes in the “Spooktacular” collection. Whether they’re covering a cult favorite or a ridiculous relic best left in a VHS bargain bin, the Scaredy Cats format gives each movie just enough room to breathe before the hosts pounce with their trademark mix of sharp commentary and absolute quick wit that will have you laughing for hours. It’s a perfect gateway for listeners who want horror talk without the gatekeeping, and a warm embrace for longtime fans who already know WHM’s particular brand of madness.
All this expansion couldn’t come at a better time. With their 15-year anniversary creeping up in December, We Hate Movies isn’t coasting on nostalgia or leaning on their legacy. They’re doubling down, and horror is where they’re planting their flag for the next chapter. Instead of resting on an impressive catalog of episodes, they’re building new ways to connect with an audience that’s grown up, or grown weird, right alongside them.
The Craven tier is more than just merch-friendly branding or an excuse to dust off old forte favorites; it’s a celebration. A celebration of horror, of community, and of a podcast that understands why people love hearing their favorite movies roasted with affection. For longtime listeners and curious newcomers alike, this new horror-forward era proves that WHM is still evolving, still surprising, and still delightfully unhinged after all these years. If this is what the lead-up to year fifteen looks like, horror fans are in for a very good time. As a fan of these guys for over a decade and a horror fan for much longer, I can guarantee these guys are an amazing powerhouse that will leave you rolling on the floor laughing and make you want to add them to your weekly podcast que.
