There's something rotten in Ambrose, LA. Maybe it's the town of corpses covered in wax? Nah, it's gotta be this stinker of a 2000s horror movie! Brian from Blood Buddies joins Janine to discuss 2005's House of Wax.

Long before dating show contestants could use their instagram fame to sell detox tea, there was a certain purity to the craziness framed by shows such as Rock of Love. Liz from Bloody Date Night joins Janine to talk about some of her favorite moments from 2000s dating shows.

Come on down to Alabama and have yourself a slice of bologna cake while you enjoy Kate and Janine's discussion on Sweet Home Alabama (2002), a completely formulaic movie with untrustworthy children, terrible Southern accents, and heroine who really should be the villain of the tale.
Having met on a Harry Potter subforum way back in 2007, Kate and Janine are both long-time members of the HP fandom. While this minisode's original topic was Harry Potter midnight release parties, we quickly discuss some of our own run-ins with unsavory parts of Harry Potter fandom, including an online stalker and people yelling spoilers out of passing cars.
To celebrate Janine's recent acceptance into film preservation school, she and Kate watch a fantastic film and Academy Award winning feature, Adaptation (2002). If you have any suggestions for a film that somehow fits the magical trash content Venn diagram of not too long, not too awful, and fun enough to talk about, tweet it to @hatepodcast and let us know!
Do you ever want to recapture the feeling of watching something that perhaps shaped your prepubescent humor and appreciation for tater tots? Well, unless you have a time machine, it's not possible. Keep your nostalgia goggles firmly on and reminisce about Napoleon Dynamite (2004) with us, a film we refused to rewatch because we loved it too much.

This minisode is about the iconic Cingular commercial of 2007. Watch the clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nIUcRJX9-o
Let me tell you something about Mean Girls (2004). It was an iconic movie for us in middle school. I know, right? So embarrassing. I don't even... whatever. So then in eighth grade, I saw my first PG-13 movie, and the quotes permeated my sense of humor growing up. And now I guess Kate Harlow from Subverted Tropes is here to let us quote this movie into oblivion! We discuss cliques, questionable fashion choices, PG-13 ratings, and how formative this comedy is for most Millennials.

When Janine watches a movie, she takes notes as it progresses. The following is a collection of her thoughts as she was watching Dodgeball (2004) for our episode where we created the new sport known as Basketblades.
Read MoreThere are two distinct reactions to the terms "SQUEE!" or "Glomp!" You either shrug, not knowing what these phrases might mean, or cringe with deep familiarity as the shadow of your randomcore past creeps back into your life. This earnest way of interacting with the world was never more prevalent in the mid-2000s and especially within the world of anime fandoms. One place where anime fandoms and terrible internet memes could live in chaotic community: anime conventions. Janine delves into her anime fan past with her friend Chris, a seasoned participant of many anime cons both during the 2000s and today.
Follow Chris on Twitter @yourfriendcimi and check out their podcasts! There's "I'd Rather Be Listening to Smooth," a music podcast available at https://soundcloud.com/user-487678300 or the now-defunct "Mainichi Maid Cafe," found on YouTube or at https://soundcloud.com/mainichi-maid-cafe !
In 2000s media, men were encouraged to be immature and irresponsible, because having fun beats growing up any day. Long-time listener, first time guest Darrell Winfree offers his wife Janine the choice between two terrible 2000s bro comedies: Saving Silverman (2001) or Without a Paddle (2004).

After the harrowing events of our last movie episode, Janine realized that 2006 has left a lasting mark on this podcast: 27% of the movies reviewed so far have been from this terrible year. In this minisode, Kate and Janine explore Pluto's revenge on the cinematic universe of 2006.
We all know the feeling when we get really excited for a movie because of the trailers only to be sorely disappointed by the feature film. Not many films encapsulate this phenomenon better than The Black Dahlia (2006), which was slated to be a huge success yet did not deliver on its promises to tell the story of a gruesome murder investigation. David Hanna from Macintosh and Maud invites Janine to expeirience this disappointment for herself. In this longest episode of Guess What You're Gonna Hate? yet, they explore not only what makes this movie so terrible, but also the ethics behind the exploitation of a true murder victim to sell a movie that ultimately uses the story of Elizabeth Short as hardly more than a backdrop.

Have you ever seen a kissing booth in real life? We haven't, but we watched Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie staff one in the fourth episode of The Simple Life (2003). While not as great as the Sonic Burger episode, their adventures as co-chairs of the Springtime Gala makes for some interesting antics.
When Janine watches a movie, she takes notes as it progresses. The following is a collection of her thoughts as she was watching Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) for the episode with The Equalizers podcast.
Read MoreWho doesn't love a good revenge story? Well, the people behind John Tucker Must Die (2006) obviously don't. Instead of a good, ol' fashioned revenge tale, Kate makes Janine watch a movie chock full of inconveniences, cringeworthy moments, hamfisted jokes, and an absolutely pointless plot with zero character development.
Be sure to listen for a message from I Never Saw That. If you like the premise behind GWYGH, you're definitely going to love I Never Saw That. Jen discovers media from the 90s that she missed out on alongside her co-host Micah. Find them online at www.ineversawthat.com !
Imagine, if you will, that it's 2002 and you have no monetary limits or guidelines to building your dream house. Would you look to build a house that was perfect for your family's space needs? Or would you want to combine all your favorite design elements from centuries of agriculture, tossing simplicity and usability to the wind? Kate Wagner joins Janine to discuss how media like Cribs (2000) and The Simple Life (2003) combined with the suburban paranoia to shape housing trends in the 2000s.
Kate is the author behind the viral blog McMansion Hell (www.mcmansionhell.com). Additionally, they contribute to Curbed, Atlas Obscura, and 99 Percent Invisible. Find them on Twitter: @mcmansionhell.
How did Janine avoid watching the incredibly popular Disney Channel original movie High School Musical (2006)? Simple: she wasn’t a prep or a poseur, duh! Kyle from The M Word Podcast is here to finally #LetJanineWatchHSM!

We all have our favorite albums from our teenage years. Some of us are fortunate enough to have gone through our music exploring phase in the early 2000s, where you often heard of new albums through whispers on music forums and had to seek it out through LimeWire, Kazaa, or other means. Michelle Nickolaisen introduces Janine to BOTAR (Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution), whose 2001 album "A Call to Arms" remains one of her favorites.
Listen to "A Call to Arms": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPefIzoSn-A

A few episodes ago, Kate and Janine watched of D.E.B.S. (2004), wherein a secret test hidden in the SAT is used to select the perfect spy. This LGBT action/comedy/romance/spy movie is a wonderful film full of fluff and meetcutes and perhaps one of the only movies we review that we'll recommend you watch. The following is Janine's notes while she was watching the movie.
