First Kid Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

This week, we're digging into the 1994 Sinbad comedy, "First Kid." We try to understand who this movie was made for, examine where Bill Clinton fits on this timeline, remember how reckless we all were in chat rooms, and imagine a world in which Will Smith plays agent Simms instead of Sinbad.

I Love You Beth Cooper Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

This week, we're digging into the Hayden Panettiere all-in-one-day romantic comedy, "I Love You Beth Cooper." We try to figure out why they thought they could pass this senior citizen off as a 17-year-old boy, wonder if this is the reason Hayden's career fizzled out for awhile, compare it to the other all-in-one-night and love-from-afar movies we've covered so far, and discuss exactly why this movie is just so flat.
