“He’s constantly the hype man for the Beekeeper!” - Eric on Jeremy Irons in this movie

On this episode, we’re having an absolute blast chatting about the outrageously fun revenge flick, The Beekeeper! First off, is this the best Jason Statham Movie™️? Did we really need these very bad and uninteresting F.B.I. characters? Can every Statham revenge movie feature at least one scene where he’s beating the crap out of tech bros? And how about that spectacular dummy work? PLUS: Rest in Peace, Marvin the Bee!

The Beekeeper stars Jason Statham, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, David Witts, Taylor James, Jemma Redgrave, Phylicia Rashād, and Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld (lol); directed by David Ayer.We hope you are enjoying Ad-Free WHM!

...is Fury a bad movie? Have I been wrong all these years?

Paul

For Listener Request Month, I’m submitting my annual plea for WHM to cover these gems: Backdraft, Vertigo, and TNG’s classic episode, The Inner Light—where Picard lives a lifetime in the span of a couple of hours. Fingers crossed this is the year they make it happen!

johnny stocker

So I'm literally watching it as we speak. For about 45 minutes Statham was kicking the shit out of Tech bros and I'm like HOW IS THIS NOT WLM?? Then they started talking about bees for 25 minutes. EDIT Another half hour in, and boy, this just keeps getting dumber, doesn't it?

The guys have some odds takes, but i wouldn't take it to seriously Also I've never seen Fury but it's the first time I've seen someone say something negative about it.

Taco6N 13

Maybe its just me, but i feel like just punching someone repeatedly in the face would be more painful and a better torture method the just using an office stapler on it. The scene is still phenomenal either way.

Busiris

I side with Eric on this one, especially about the part about how you could easily throw one of any 80s action star into the movie as the lead for an 80s/90s action movie. When I saw it in theaters last year I literally had the thought that this had Cannon Films written all over it. Maybe not in the modern tone or story but in the audacious and silly moments that make it so fun.

Frank Grimes

Jan 2026 I hope we get a working man episode

Jan

Beautiful bee movie

Eren Keskin

As a bee, I can confirm Jason is a keeper

RJ Cunningham

First time watching this movie was one of the most “no way” viewings I’ve ever had. I still can’t tell if they’re in on the joke but goddamn is this hilarious

Tim O'

I liked it!

David Thompson

In these case I don't normally bother to make sure I've seen the film. Eric's enthusiasm made me switch off till I've seen the movie.

Allen M

This might be a reach, but does anyone remember the Community episode with the trampoline? Was that a reference to Master Gardener?

G Goldhar

We got pure Crabin on this one folks lmao

Smaug

You've kicked the hornet's nest, now you have to reap the whirlwind. Best mixed metaphor in the movie

James

Beekeeper 2: The Hoarder is the sequel we need right now.

Les Whinen

The shot where you show a gun, pan away, then show blood against the wall is call a "Shawshank"

Em Smith

"I'm more of a weather dot gov man" he's just like me frfr

Frank Grimes

Those vendor email phish scams can be tricky. A few times I almost got tricked...I usually try to call them before executing.

Kyle N.

LFG! This is how you start a Tuesday! This movie rocks. Do we see a new boomer avengers eu taking off?? Bzzz bzzz those busy whm bees. Thanks for the drop!

Tony King

I was really surprised while watching this how many UK actors I noticed, until I looked it up and it was filmed here. I watched it for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. It was dumb but fun. I'm annoyed I waited this long!

MarkNM

THIS IS OUR "MOBY DICK."

Patrick caddy

I'm so excited for Listening Request Month. I have the perfect movie for them and I really wanna watch them hurt

Emil Svensson

It has one of my least favourite tropes: When a woman in sexual peril is saved by a man or the situation is defused by a man, and is then immediately aroused/at ease enough to want to have sex with said man. Brad Pitt's character barges into an apartment in a war-torn town occupied by a mother and daughter. There is a clear perceived threat of sexual violence towards the daughter, to the point where the scene is thoroughly uncomfortable. Enter Brad Pitt's young, fresh-faced subordinate on the tank crew. Apparently his youth (and, if I remember correctly, proficiency on the ol' piano) is enough to make the daughter want to have sex with him in the next room from her mother and the older man she was just expecting to be molested by an hour ago. Stopped watching that movie right quick.

Patrick caddy

If im paying i wanna see some sweat and tears boys

We Hate Movies

Sure, we have some odd takes I guess, but for the record here, we literally don’t give an opinion on the film Fury in this episode. We mention it’s a film David Ayer directed and then make a furry joke and move on, just fyi, folks! - Andrew

Patrick caddy

Also I think Beekeepers work like Green Lanterns like they patrol the US

Jonnie Sea

I haven’t seen Fury, but I have seen Suicide Squad…so I’m gonna assume that the tank has a lot of cringe tattoos, at some point offers Common a go with his tank girlfriend, and asks Brad Pitt if “we got beef”

stephen sammartino

We need a Marvin solo movie. Need him in a scuba suit!

Adam Gaudry

I am so excited to hear that the WHM crew is coming the UK! I'm in London and have already booked my tickets and hotel to come see you deliver your takes on Darth Vader and Hellraiser. Wish I could come to more of the shows, but kids makes it impossible sadly. But thanks so much guys, really excited for this. I've always hoped you'd come on tour here. In the meantime, time to put forward some WHM and WLM requests for March (Excalibur hint hint).

Rose Esposito

I remember it being surprisingly good, but I somewhat doubt it holds up on rewatches.

Adam Gaudry

The Inner Light! Will put forward a request for this, too. An all-time great.

Rose Esposito

I rewatched last night, and it's honestly so funny that Phylicia Rashad GETS THE FRAUD ALERTS FROM HER BANK(s), and yet still decides to Ray Winstone-in-The-Departed herself immediately instead of just clicking "I didn't authorize this transaction." Girl, really. also: why not The Phisherman

Joey T

Hey guys, "machine elves" is a reference to what a lot of people see when they try DMT. -Your friendly neighborhood hippy

Joey T

I like Phish but not Phish scams

Matt

So at first I thought this movie was about an actual beekeeper. Then I found out it was actually some kind of spy nonsense. Now I find out it's both?! "Inflammable means Flammable?! What a country!"

D Arthur

Charles Bronson walked so Jason Statham could run

We Hate Movies

Ah, I was saying MDMA, thanks for the correct! - Andrew

I.C. Weiner

I went to Scotland about 10 years ago and had a cab driver only want to talk to me (in Scottish) about how amazing of an actor is Statham is. I hope you guys bring him up in Oxford to see if the British have the same feelings.

MarkNM

The energy in this episode is proof positive that the 2024 review didn't need to be "Worst of."

Darryl Bowen

It's crazy that they're hiding the fact Flight Risk is a Mel Gibson directed movie. They show other movies he directed but never show his name.

Zeb Hammond

Respectfully, it is, I do, and it probably wasn't. I got a Community notification for this?

Allen M

Had never heard of the movie. Assumed it came out before the community episode. Just a wild coincidence that both involve gardeners with secret nazi tattoos. My bad

Dan sulin

I’m listening to this at the same time my wife is on the phone next to me with my father-in-law. Arguing with him that his brother’s daughter in Pakistan does not need $500 for a wheel chair, no matter what the guy who contacted him in Facebook told him.

Derek Baxter

I just want to thank Steve for sharing his story of getting scammed by an email. I, too, do dumb stuff all the time, but never feel like I can share those stories because so few people admit these things. Thanks for making the world a more honest place, Steve!

Kureigu

I tried that signing up to moments with patreon to get the q and a free and it didn't do it was still adding the cost on?

We Hate Movies

We're old, Mark. We just like to talk about stuff we wanna talk about and boy howdy, The Beekeeper was one we wanted to chat about! - Andrew

We Hate Movies

Sorry to hear that Kureigu. If you're having issues, you should speak with the Moment folks directly; we're unable to assist with technical issues as we have nothing to do with the platform. - Andrew

MarkNM

I get it man, it's like your 10-year rule. At some point you had to be like "who really decided we needed this rule?" Curation is king.

Kureigu

Yeah i will need to contact them. The page says q and a free for Welsh patreon level but doesn't seem to give the opinion to add it to order without it costing the normal price.

Scott

For listener request month is there a list of every movie that has been done already?

Mark D Myers

I would have preferred A episode about boy kills world , because I think the worst the movie the better the episode it makes.

Jamie

Fun fact: Phylicia Rashad was able to perfectly capture the sense of hopelessness and despair by accessing her memory of the day she realized nobody would ever watch The Cosby Show again

toddler.boy

We need a Statham Month. I need y’all’s take on his wig in Home Front.

Clever Girl

The dummy being dragged off the bridge into the water and the other beekeeper tumbling out of the truck while on fire were very funny things to see. That was when i realized i was watching a comedy.

Anna Bee

I saw this movie. I loved it. My first thought after I came down from my bee-high was "the We Hate Movies MUST do this one." (But I am a bit sad you dudes didn't mention the scene with Statham standing in the call centre clapping with empty-eyed glee with the rest of the scam wankers. I'll be ok though. I'm a survivor, like the Beekeeper.)

Ross Tyrie

I just watched The Beekeeper, basically because you guys did an episode and boy was it the most enjoyably stupid thing I've seen in years. A real 80s throwback. Dumb as balls and all the better for it.

Max Buster

Amazing movie and pod, been on a Statham bender since and would love to hear a WHM on The Italian Job. Perfect dadfernoon early aughts bank robbery with Wahlberg, Charlize, Sutherland, Statham, Mos Def and Ed Norton as the villain? It really has it all and I think y'all would have a great time kicking it around

Charles Grodin's Toupee is Having Fargo Sex

This movie takes the "This goes all the way to the top, all the way to the White House!" trope so literally that it is hilarious. Like the climax of Black Dynamite but done with a straight face.

DMAC

Great episode. Loved the return of the phrase "regular degular". I would love to hear the WHM guys cover Snatch.

AlsoNamedB0rt

But how many mines were in this movie? They weren’t mentioned, so I assume the entire film took place inside mines.

Ray

It would have been more realistic if she opened a fake email and clicked a link and had to call someone. Maybe she did beforehand and that caused the pop up. This shit is rampant irl.

Billie Jackson

I was hoping that those streams of shows wouldn't disappear forever. Even not turning up for years anywhere is cool for past ones that people may have missed.
