This week, the Mikes are joined by their friend (and real-life therapist) Philip, aka "Lips," for a spirited dive into Analyze This, Harold Ramis's oddball 1999 mob comedy. We break down De Niro's sendup of his tough-guy persona, Billy Crystal's exasperated straight man, and why this mafia-meets-therapy premise feels both inspired and a little uneven. Plus: the real-life therapist verdict on cinematic therapy, boner talk, and omertà versus HIPAA. Wikipedia page for Analyze This. Films recommended this episode:

• The Ice Harvest
• National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
• Mary Poppins
