"Is that hair gel?" Yes, the Farrelly brothers really laid the gags on thick (eww) in the 1998 smash, There's Something About Mary. Ben Stiller's Ted took on a murderous hitchhiker, a drug-fueled dog, and a devious Matt Dillon, all for the chance to win the heart of Cameron Diaz. But now, decades later, does this 2-hour rom-com succeed in explaining why? Would this comedy work without its grosser moments? And did the flick's treatment of characters with mental and physical challenges make our co-hosts cringe or cackle? The Old Roommates zip up and revisit it all through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
