Hey kid! Do you like muffins? Then you're gonna love 2000s flash animation! Paul and John from Plug-In Missing join Janine to discuss some of the highlights of flash animation as well as what lead to its downfall.

You don't want podcasts... safe. You want a hot pod! Amity from The Latecomers joins Janine on this episode to discuss Sweet November (2001), a sluggish, 2-hour long maudlin movie filled with almost every single romantic trope possible... and also a surprisingly passionate defense of hotdogs. With absolutely zero chemistry between leads Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves, Sweet November is a punishment of a film that is sure to ruin any beautiful autumnal day, should you choose to watch it!

Happy Halloween from the costumes of years past, especially that aging purple suit for your 2008 Joker costume you really thought would blow everyone away. Frank from Denver to Downunder and Brian from Blood Buddies discuss some classic 2000s Halloween costumes as well as the differences between the holiday in America versus Australia.

Another spooky week of October means another spooky movie. Why not watch the Thai horror movie Shutter (2004) -- oh, what? You watched the US remake, Shutter (2008)? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Kate and Janine compare the two plots and discuss their survival plans if ghosts started showing up in their selfies.
Kate and Janine live off garlic so they are definitely not vampires. However, they can still appreciate the aesthetic of goths in coffins -- and what better way to do that than to watch the music video for Helena by My Chemical Romance? Tell us your favorite 2000s music video by tweeting us @hatepodcast!
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.
