Does This Still Work?

John Candy and Steve Martin star as two guys with very different personalities who have to make it from NYC to Chicago during Thanksgiving. Literally, millions make this trip all the time with nothing weird happening. But this is a John Hughes comedy so all sorts of craziness ensues. Speaking of John Hughes, he takes off time from roasting in Hell to stop by for a chat.

Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey play two FBI agents on the hunt for surfer dude/banker robber Patrick Swayze. Are these two agents bad at their job? Is there a gay subtext here and that's why Lori Petty's character exists? Does this movie make any kind of sense at all? The boys discuss.

Don't get too excited. The snatch in this case means to attempt to seize something suddenly. The movie is directed by Madonna's ex-husband and stars a (relatively) non violent Jason Statham, a bare knuckle boxing Brad Pitt and lots of gun play. Join the boys as they discuss.

Join the guys as they discuss this Alex Cox film starring Emilo Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton.

The boys sit down and watch the unrated version of this 2004 film. Will it matter that it's unrated? Probably not but you never know. What you can know is that nobody went to White Castle after recording this.
