Summary

“It was only a matter of time before we drew this out of a hat…” - Andrew 

On this week’s episode, Listener Request Month heads to deep space as we talk about the legendary sci-fi failure, Supernova!

How many Academy Award-nominees does it take to fix a big-budget nightmare? Is this the horniest studio science fiction film? Is Robert Forster’s character getting a doctorate in cartoon studies? Despite it all, these are some pretty good ship and space effects. What's that orb's deal, really? And how many studio executives can you cram into one on-set writing trailer? PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game!

Supernova stars James Spader, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Lou Diamond Phillips, Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, Wilson Cruz, and Vanessa Marshall as the voice of Sweetie; directed by “Thomas Lee.”

Hey, y'all, before we get to today's episode on Supernova, which, oh, whof, what a movie. I just wanted to remind y'all that, yes, on the 20th of this month, we're going to be debuting in Minneapolis, y'all very excited about this. We're playing the varsity theater for the first time ever. We're talking Conan the Barbarian, the 1980s, one starring the great Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's going to be a ton of fun.

Hopefully you all signed up for the Wolf's Wire newsletter.

It's this cool partnership we're doing with the Timberwolves organization, watching the movie at their practice facility. So if you signed up for that newsletter already, I think keep your eyes peeled this week. They're going out with stuff. And then also on the 22nd of this month, y'all, March 22nd, we are returning to one of our favorite cities, Chicago, Illinois. We're going to be making our debut at the Den Theater. We're going to be talking about Big the Tom Hanks comedy classic that gets a little super duper weird there at the end, y'all. So that's going to be a lot of fun. Tickets are available for the varsity theater show and the show at the Den Theater on our website, WHMpodcast.com. Click on that tour page. You got that all there for you. And if you're listening to this on the day it comes out, which is the 10th of March 2026, just a reminder, this Friday, we're lucky enough to have another Friday the 13th upon us, y'all.
