This episode lacks its usual energetic verve, because Maddy and Mary Ellen were emotionally exhausted by this movie. We blame THE DUDE. And all of the dudes of the world! After watching The Shawshank Redemption, our co-hosts watched The Big Lebowski, and they didn't care for it. Mary Ellen and Maddy have tried, valiantly, to understand men. Have they succeeded? This episode brings us to our answer: a resounding "no."
