We Hate Movies

S12 Ep598: S1m0ne

On this week's episode, the 2022 Listener Request Month continues with a discussion around Andrew Niccol's Gattaca follow-up, S1m0ne! Why didn't they realize this concept had to go full-satire to work? Why did we need so much with the tabloid reporter characters? And are we to believe that Al Pacino's character becomes a CGI master all on his own in less than a year? PLUS: Pacino runs some lines from Home Alone! 
S1m0ne stars Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, Rachel Roberts, Winona Ryder, Jay Mohr, Evan Rachel Wood, and Elias Koteas; directed by Andrew Niccol.

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.
