Hate Watching Speed 2: Cruise Control

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a guy who used to make crates for an art handling company in 1997 starts a podcast? You get hilarious stories, like Dan reminiscing about his crate-making days with staple guns and glue, and Tony suggesting he should shift to making custom jigsaw puzzles. And wait till you hear the mix-up involving Tony's aunt's name! Before we know it, we’re back in Hollywood, with Tony unveiling the movie of the week, setting the stage for a wild ride through disaster movie land.Our critique session kicks off with a bang as we compare the classic disaster flicks "Towering Inferno" and "The Poseidon Adventure" with modern hits like "Deep Impact" and "Twister." Then, we dive headfirst into the chaotic waters of "Speed 2: Cruise Control." We dissect its lack of tension, shoddy writing, and bizarre action sequences, all while sprinkling in intriguing tidbits about Jason Patrick’s high school days and his enigmatic persona. Get ready for our final verdict on why "Speed 2" sunk harder than the Titanic, from its illogical plot points to its almost comically bad scenes.But hold onto your life vests, because it gets even crazier. We chew through the baffling nonsense of "Speed 2," from a boat rescue gone wrong to a deaf girl improbably escaping an elevator. We’ll have you laughing as we recount the chainsaw-wielding heroics and near-death propeller escapades. And just when you think it couldn't get any more outlandish, we wrap up with some YouTube channel highlights and a disappointing Olympic event. Don't miss our take on "Solar Babies" next week—it's going to be a roller-skating sci-fi riot!Written lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT
