Does This Still Work?

No fan of copaganda? Brother, do we have a movie for you! Meet the corrupt and very racist L.A. police force of the 1950s in this popular film from the late 90s. We know, racist cops? Impossible! Ah, but the question here is, does that mean this film still works?

She's your sister! She's your daughter! She's your sister and your daughter! Oh, man that is gross. And having Roman Polanski as the director doesn't help either. Okay, okay but does Joe and George think it still works?.

The funny lady from Chuck & Buck returns to Joe & George's screens as one hell of a mama. Real women have curves and they can also have real ballbusting mothers or whatever the female version of giving a person a hard time is. Aparte de eso, ¿esto todavía funciona?

Joe was 7 when this movie came out. Meanwhile, George didn't even exist. But here they are joining forces to judge a film about a mom on welfare finding love in NYC. Or if you prefer, this is the movie where Dominique Deveraux dates Darth Vader.

George was a sailor but definitely not a captain. Joe has never had grace. What does that have to do with the movie? Look up the English lyrics to La Bamba, sheesh! With that said, does this film still work or does it crash and burn? (Sorry.)

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus! Don't kill him, he's Amadeus! George & Joe take a look at this Oscar winner. Which isn't so much a film about Mozart as it is a slander of a guy named Salieri. But, really, the only thing the boys are interested in is, does this still work?

No, it's not a superhero movie. It's another Spike Lee film. Do you remember it? A lot of people don't, for some reason. Of course, maybe that means it doesn't work? Well, that's what the boys are going to discuss. Join them.
