In the longest episode of Our Hero De Niro yet, the Mikes take on Dirty Grandpa, a raunchy road trip comedy starring Robert De Niro and Zac Efron. They break down the film's relentless shock humor, bizarre character choices, and surprising box office success despite critical panning. Tracking every laugh (or lack thereof), they debate whether the movie works as a comedy, discuss De Niro's commitment to the role, and question the logic—or absence of it—behind the film's wildest moments.
