I have asked myself this question a thousand times while watching a movie, “How did this get made?!? What idiot in Hollywood green lighted the production of this crap? Why am I still watching this? Why am I watching it again?!?” Well now you can relish in the hatred of horrible movies with the podcast How Did This Get Made? Led by the comedic styles of Paul Sheer, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael, the trio dissects the worst in movies. Most of the movies are even guilty pleasures that you can‘t help but watch. From “Battlefield Earth” to “All About Steve” to “Fast Five,” they talk about the disasters of Hollywood at its best. The hosts of the podcast may not ring a bell. Paul Sheer is best known for his hilarious MTV sketch show, “Human Giant,” and a couple of other big films. Mantzoukas and Raphael are very successful working comedians as well. Mantzoukas is one of the stars of the FX series “The League,” and Raphael is a writer, actress and comedian. Put these three together, along with a celebrity guest, and you have got a great podcast. Some of the latest guests have been Matt Walsh of UCB fame, co-creater of “Human Giant” Rob Huebel and, from “Parks and Recreation,” Adam Scott.
Not only is the podcast hilarious, it lures you in to watching these movies. Would I ever watch “Crank 2”? No, but now I have to watch it because of how bad it sounds. The worst is the dialogue in these movies. During the podcast, they will play clips of the movie that will make your skin crawl. My question: How could the actors have read this script before production and thought, “Yep, this is a good career move.” A good example: “The Love Guru”. This movie, simply put, is bad. I mean, bad! And I’ve never seen it. But unfortunately for me, I will be renting it this weekend. A really cool part about How Did This Get Made? is how Sheer does a three-minute episode in between each normal podcast to give the listeners an assignment. He tells you what movie they are going to watch next so you can join in. You can go to the website and comment about the movie. If it’s a good enough comment, you’ll make it onto the next show. Very interactive, makes you feel a part of the show. For your dose of How Did This Get Made?, start from the beginning. My favorite so far was the episode on “The Love Guru” — too funny. Bad movies have never sounded so good.
