14 - Observe & Report (2009)


Listen Later

The boys wrap up the Winter of Torture with the first big studio comedy we have done and sorry, it's a Ben pick so it's still super nasty and unpleasent! We dive into Jody Hill's blacker than black 2009 mall cop comedy "Observe & Report" and talk about how this movie should have been the end of Jody Hill's career, how the complete opposite ended up happening and marvel at how ahead of it's time this movie is in showing a dangerous, mentally ill man trying to become a cop to live out a violent power fantasy and isn't that just 2026 America? All that, plus we examine what it means to have a "perfect comedy penis". Also discussed: Interview with the Vampire (tv), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Bone Tomahawk plus impressions from the Marathon server slam. We will be back next week talking Ireland's first kung-fu action flick, 1998's "Fatal Devitation", which is certainly a movie you can watch.

Thanks to Disco for the show art and to Eric for the theme song.
