TRMPS #4: Be Cool (2005) w/ Brent Chittenden Apr 27, 2019

Show notes

Twinkle-Twinkle, Baby! On this edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, Nate Milton welcomes Brent Chittenden (the “True North Nerds” podcast) into the theater to review 2005’s Be Cool!

The guys sit through one of the most random big-budget films to ever come out of Hollywood and come away with a TON of questions:

Does this sequel to 1995’s “Get Shorty” live up to the expectations set by the original? Did the all-star cast (John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Cedric The Entertainer, Vince Vaughn, Andre 3000, Harvey Keitel, “The Rock”, etc.) come to play, or were they just there to cash a check? Does “Be Cool” work as a cohesive unit, or does the film feel like a series of vignettes? Is this movie just a poor man's version of "Pulp Fiction"? Is this DJ's best acting performance to date? And what the heck is “The Vig”???

Find out the answers to all of those burning questions and more on the latest installment of TRMPS!Plus, YOUR feedback from the POST Wrestling Forum.The Rocky Maivia Picture Show is a monthly movie review podcast that drops every 3rd Saturday on POST Wrestling!
