Tune in as Arthur’s buddy Thomas hangs out with him to discuss the anxiety- and cat-filled 2000 comedy Meet the Parents. Cringe humor that (mostly) works, Hollywood figures like Steven Spielberg and Jim Carrey having once been attached to this movie, and the little-known fact that it’s actually a reboot make up a few of the subjects that the hosts discuss.

Directed by Jay Roach, Meet the Parents stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Nicole DeHuff, Jon Abrahams, James Rebhorn, Tom McCarthy, Phyllis George, Kali Rocha, Bernie Sheredy, Judah Friedlander, Peter Bartlett, Russell Hornsby, Cole Hawkins, and Spencer Breslin.

Spoilers start at 35:45
