Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Hate to Interrupt, we dive into two films at opposite ends of the spectrum. First up is Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, the surreal, one-take exploration of ego, artistry, and legacy that helped redefine what “prestige cinema” could look like in the 2010s. Then, we turn our attention to the brand-new War of the Worlds starring Ice Cube — a film so disastrously bad it’s already sitting at a 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. We break down why Birdman continues to inspire admiration while Cube’s War of the Worlds feels like a baffling misfire, and what these extremes say about the range of modern filmmaking.VHSGuy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠StopCulture⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ghoulif⁠
