Gutting the Sacred Cow — Film Reviews
Gutting the Sacred Cow

Gutting the Sacred Cow invites guests to argue why some of the most financially successful, beloved or acclaimed films are trash or overrated. But here's the twist, the film must meet 1 of these criteria: widely beloved, financial success, or critically acclaimed. Standup comedians Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel love films and they love arguing about them.. But will they agree with their guests arguments or feed them into a wood chipper?

We give a platform with those who have unpopular opinions to be bold enough to voice them. What are some films that have faced scrutiny: Back to the Future, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, the Dark Knight, Toy Story, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Matrix, and Die Hard. Can the guests persuade us or do we rip them a new one?

Give us a listen and we'll easily prove that we belong on any top movie podcast list. We throw plenty of fun segments in the mix: 5 fun facts, our readers have us ask our guests questions they'd like answered in "Ask a Gutter", critics 5 and 1 star reviews and our FAVORITE segment, reading Amazon 5 and 1 star reviews.; You'll never go down a more fun rabbit hole than hearing crazy people asking for refunds while submitting their personal info for payment.

We also give you movie and TV recommendations in our bonus segment aptly titled, "What Did We Watch" So if you want spirited movie debate and wonder what the hell is wrong with some people who hate some of these treasured films or if you secretly agree these beloved movies are awful, this podcast is for you.

Episode 6 Mike Krewina does Star Wars Nov 16, 2019

Show notes

Yeah, someone ACTUALLY has the audacity to try to take down one of the greatest films of all time. And that someone is Mike Krewina, co-host of the Rob Saul show. And it just so happens that this is one of both Kevins' FAVORITE FILMS. Does Mike end up like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru? Or is the Force strong in this one. Lastly, PLEASE give us 5 stars and write a quick review on whatever platform you're hearing us on.

Episode 1 Ryan Dalton does Batman Begins Oct 05, 2019

Show notes

Comedian Ryan Dalton is the first guest on the maiden voyage as he "attempts" to convince host comedians Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel that Batman Begins is an awful, overrated film. In this episode, we sit down with film critic and pop culture expert Ryan Dalton to discuss why the movie Batman Begins, often hailed as a superhero classic, is actually overrated. While the film marked a major turning point for the Batman franchise and introduced us to Christopher Nolan's vision of Gotham City, Dalton argues that it falls short in several key areas.

Dalton begins by unpacking the film's portrayal of the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman, arguing that the script and direction fail to capture the complexity and depth of the Dark Knight's persona. He also critiques the film's pacing and editing, which he believes often drag or rush through important plot points.

But Dalton's most pointed criticism is reserved for the film's handling of the villain Ra's al Ghul, played by Liam Neeson. Despite Neeson's strong performance, Dalton argues that the character's motivations and actions are poorly defined and don't hold up to scrutiny.

Throughout the episode, Dalton backs up his arguments with specific examples from the film, comparing Batman Begins to other superhero movies and discussing its legacy in the genre. He also offers insights into how critical consensus can sometimes become skewed or outdated, leading to a distorted perception of a film's quality.

Whether you're a diehard Batman fan or just curious about how movies get evaluated, this episode offers a fresh take on a classic superhero film. Join us as we explore why Batman Begins may not be the masterpiece it's often made out to be.
