War of the Worlds (2025)

Nico D. — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 17:36:06 +0000

IT’S YOU! IT’S YOU! Yes, indeed. With the release of a new contender for Worst Movie of All Time, Nick, Nico and Adam were forced to declare DEFCON1 and reconvene Why is This a Thing. Ice Cube stars in a screenlife adaptation of H.G. Wells’s War of the Worlds, a film that is so poorly written acted you almost (ALMOST) don’t notice the excessive amount of product placement for Amazon’s drone delivery service. Fear not, we watched and recapped this monstrosity so you don’t have to. Consider this a Podcast of the Worlds to save humanity.

Nico D. — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:56:07 +0000

The guys pay tribute to the life and career of David Lynch with the film he described as his “most experimental.” It’s the G-rated Disney classic The Straight Story, starring Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek and Harry Dean Stanton.

Nico D. — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 23:56:17 +0000

With the Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe more back than ever before, the guys decide to resurrect Why is This a Thing? for the holiday season. This week’s film is a romantic tale of a former Mean Girl, a chiseled snowman and the town of brainwashed lunatics that brings them together. It’s the viral sensation, Hot Frosty.

Nick, Nico and Adam speak to you from beyond the podcast grave just in time for Halloween. It’s a lost episode of Why is This a Thing about the 90s studio classic The Devil’s Advocate, starring a southern-fried Keanu Reeves and a devilishly hammy Al Pacino.

Hi there, it’s been a while! After a heartfelt discussion about the future of the podcast, Nick, Nico and Adam celebrate the legacy of the late great Roger Corman with his most celebrated movie.

For the upcoming release of Dune: Part 2, the fellas keep the spice flowing with the spiciest movie of the ’90s. It’s Spice World, the Hard Day’s Night riff starring the Spice Girls and pretty much every other British person you can think of. Why is this a thing, innit?

Argylle (2024)

Nico D. — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 05:01:45 +0000

Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of quippy spies, dumb action and obnoxious needle drops to deliver one of the biggest box office flops in recent memory. Argylle (note the double “L”s) stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Dua Lipa, John Cena, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson and a host of other overqualified actors that were surely elated to cash their oversized checks from Apple Inc. Nick, Nico and Adam are here to break down each frame of this cinematic abomination, in an effort to document and count EVERY. SINGLE. TWIST. And much like the studio after checking the box office returns, the numbers may shock you.

Accidental Love (2015)

Nico D. — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 05:01:19 +0000

This Valentine’s Day, Why is This a Thing? cordially invites you to get NAILED! Once upon a time, in pre-Obamacare USA, there was a David O. Russell film called Nailed. The biting satire boasted a star-studded ensemble (including Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden) and a how-the-sausage-is-made script from political nepo-baby Kristin Gore. But a tumultuous production left the project incomplete and abandoned until 2015. That year, David O. Russell was coming off of three consecutive best picture nominations, Jake Gyllenhaal’s profile had risen even higher and a plunderous group of producers saw an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. Thus, a shoddy cut of the film was cobbled together; and where Nailed once stood, Accidental Love rose from the ashes. Nick, Nico and Adam break down all this madness and look for some salvageable remains within the cinematic train wreck.

Not excited for the the Chiefs to battle the Niners? Skip this year’s Super Bowl and enjoy the inaugural Uwe Bowl! Just when you thought defrauding the German taxpayer wasn’t bad enough, we’re discussing yet another terrible film by grifter and cinematic hack Uwe Boll. Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff fight… darkness(?) in the mid-2000s video game adaptation Alone in the Dark.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)

Nico D. — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 16:45:11 +0000

The guys cross a historically bad movie off the WiTaT to-do list with the most-reviewed 0% movie in the history of Rotten Tomatoes, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Topics discussed include: the bafflingly inaccurate title, the lack of on-screen chemistry between Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu, the physics of exploding cars, the logic behind a gun that fires backwards and, perhaps the greatest villain in all of action filmmaking, Robert Gant.

It’s another January, which means it’s another opportunity to celebrate the oeuvre of arthouse icon Alejandro Jodorowsky. This time, we’re discussing Jodorowsky’s first and only attempt at a studio job: the much-maligned, little-seen Rainbow Thief, starring Omar Sharif, Peter O’Toole and Christopher Lee.

The Santa Clauses: Season 2 (2023)

Nico D. — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 05:01:23 +0000

It’s Christmas on Why is This a Thing, which means it’s once again time to visit the North Pole and check on Scott Calvin’s quirky Clause clan. This season, the unfireable Tim Allen is joined by Eric Stonestreet and Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias for a low-stakes holiday caper. Will Bob Iger finally end our suffering and cancel this ho-ho-horrible Disney Plus show? Or will the Santathon remain a WiTaT tradition for years to come?

Dream Scenario (2023)

Nico D. — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 05:01:55 +0000

The guys break from their seasonal programming to discuss the much-anticipated Dream Scenario, Nicolas Cage’s fifth big screen performance this year and the one that earned him his first Golden Globe nomination in over two decades. Cage stars as a tenured college professor who becomes a viral sensation of sorts, after mysteriously appearing in the world’s collective consciousness. Nick, Nico and Adam unravel this Charlie Kaufman-esque philosophical premise and evaluate how the film contends with our ridiculous modern world. Plus, music to any podcast listener’s ears: lots and lots of dream talk.

The Why is This a Thing Christmas Extravaganza continues with the King of Yuletide Bob Clark and his pre-Halloween holiday slasher. Ahead of it’s time in style, substance and social conventionality, Black Christmas remains one of the great horror movies of all time. And Nick, Nico and Adam are here to unpack (unwrap?) just how the hyper-sentimental mind behind A Christmas Story could make something so profoundly nasty. Plus: lots of theories about that bleakly ambiguous ending and lots more fawning over Margot Kidder and Olivia Hussey.

The Spooktacular rolls on with the mid-aughts horror indie The Hamiltons, about a family of [SPOILER]s with domestic issues that go well beyond their predilection for murder. Is it fair of us to mock this micro-budgeted San Francisco production? Well, considering the filmmakers have dubbed themselves “The Butcher Brothers,” we think it’s all fair game.

Will Nico be forced to eat crow or will he defend the film as a classic guilty pleasure? Tech support is here to resolve all your burning questions.

Back when Dakota Fanning was our Shirley Temple, Captain America was just the Human Torch and Nick was going on dozens of awkward dates to the movies. The year is 2009. The movie is Push. Not based on the novel by Sapphire, but based on…nothing? Join us as we discuss this failed attempt at a superhero franchise, the up-and-down career of Chris Evans, the current political state of Hong Kong and much more.

The Core (2003)

Nico D. — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 04:01:03 +0000

We all know we can’t drill a hole to the Earth’s core. But…what if we could? The guys review the film voted the most scientifically inaccurate of all time: The Core, starring Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Stanley Tucci and a dozen more over-qualified actors of the early 21st century.

Casino Royale (1967)

Nico D. — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 04:01:13 +0000

While Nick is away, Adam and Nico dissect the notorious, non-canonical James Bond movie Casino Royale. No, not that one! Long before Daniel Craig, producer Charles Feldman bought up the film rights to Ian Fleming’s original 007 novel. And what began as a straight adaptation became an unwieldy parody directed by five(!) people and starring seven(!!) Bonds. The fellas try to parse through the confusing plot and even more puzzling behind-the-scenes drama, involving Orson Welles, Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, David Niven and practically any other British person alive in the 1960s. Consider the pod both shaken and stirred.

Hot to Trot (1988)

Nico D. — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 05:20:55 +0000

Our favorite Witatty loser Joe DeFeo returns to the program to discuss another horrible film from his childhood. Bob(cat) Goldthwait stars as a hot new stock trader that seeks advice from his equine friend, played by a phoning-it-in John Candy. Topics discussed include: the immortality of Dabney Coleman, the puzzling cameos from Burgess Meredith and Gilbert Gottfried, and all the studio nonsense that went on behind the scenes

Encounters at the End of the World (2007)

Nico D. — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 23:47:46 +0000

We conclude Documentary Month (and perhaps the habitability of planet) with our boy Werner Herzog’s only Oscar-nominated film. And it might just be the most Werner movie yet.

Crumb (1995)

Nico D. — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 04:01:39 +0000

Documentary Month resumes with a tale of underground comix, dysfunctional families and lots of lots of piggyback rides. David Lynch (sort of) presents Crumb, the cult classic doc about legendary cartoonist Robert Crumb.

The Raft (2018)

Nico D. — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:09:47 +0000

Long before Jeff Probst was doing it, an insane Spanish man named Santiago ran an infamous “social experiment” on the seven seas to get to the bottom of humanity’s obsession with war. Complete with sexual tension, personal drama, a struggle for power and MURDER, the “Sex Raft” of the 1970s was closer to reality television than it was a scientific pursuit. But as the old adage goes, who needs a sociology degree when you have the Bachelor? Nick, Nico and Adam get to the bottom of all this nonsense as Documentary Month 2023 begins!

Ishtar (1987)

Nico D. — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 05:01:13 +0000

Notorious bad movie or notoriously underrated comedy? Nick, Nico and Adam debate the film that cratered Elaine May’s directing career, the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman road picture Ishtar. Yes, the conversation gets contentious. But hey, telling the truth can be dangerous business.

Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)

Nico D. — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 23:19:57 +0000

The year is 1952. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis ruled the Earth. Bela Lugosi was high on morphine. And man was but a simple primate. Join us for a deep dive into one of the most notorious B-movies of all time, the only on-screen collaboration between Martin and Lewis impersonators Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo, Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.
