Does This Still Work?

Guess which word Joe almost never uses but George could not, could not get enough of? Hey, everybody, we take a look at Blazing Saddles. A comedy that has in no way gotten more controversial than when it opened over 40 years ago. Enjoy the landmines!

Do you believe in magic? The boys run through the mystic nights and find Big Trouble In Little China. But do they also find racism? Plus, Scott Bakula gets Gung Ho. George discusses becoming accidentally Asian and Joe can't figure out what the hell is happening.

And wasn't she easy? Isn't she pretty in pink? George sure thinks so! Yes, the boys take a look at the 80s classic, Pretty In Pink. Plus, Joe asks questions of a dead man. The guys give advice, wonder about James Spader, and ask what's with all the smoking?

They're playing basketball. We love that basketball but do we love this movie? Joe and George are joined by Comedian Jay Nog as they take a look at 1992's White Men Can't Jump. Plus, past riots! Betty White said what? Yo Mama Jokes! And guys solve problems, damnit!

You better think (think). Think about what you're trying to do to me. Yeah think (think, think) Let your mind go, let yourself be free because how else can you enjoy The Blues Brothers? Yes, we drive our cars into the air and take a look at this 1980s Classic film. Joining us on our trip (and what trip it is!) is comedian and runner of Lisa's Clubhouse, Lisa Harmon. How about some car talk? Happy Birthday to you, from Stevie Wonder. How about a little racism tossed at The Blues Brothers movie-and we don't mean the Nazis. What a weird statement from The Pope. And poor Carrie Fisher is very bad at killing. Anyway, enjoy!

This is not what doves sound like when doves cry but Joe does yell that he is Alex Trebek so that's a cry of sorts. So while there are not doves we are still in The Birdcage. And joining us there to discuss this Robin Williams film is Marissa McCool and Murphie McCool both from "But I heard About It" podcast. Meanwhile, arguing over a quiz. What is the deal with that guy's age? What kind of relationship do these characters have with their parents? Birdcage as assimilationist fantasy? What's changed with Republicans? Boy Meets World Crossover? Bea Arthur or Betty White? Plus, the best sitcom episode ever? Enjoy.
