For Better or Worse

Straight out of the gate, Mike reveals his feelings for Wall Street, and Shana laments the lack of character depth. That said, the husband and wife team do praise some of Oliver Stone's directing, and, oddly, they keep comparing it to West Side Story.

What do you get when you set Romeo and Juliet in a racially charged New York neighborhood in the 1950s? The all-singing, all-dancing, surprisingly subversive, perfectly executed West Side Story. (Please pardon the audio glitch at the 90-minute mark.) Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Mike and Shana briefly discuss why their remake of West Side Story will be delayed by a few days.

Shana solves Hollywood's female problem with hardcore fairies, while Mike retcons President Madison out of US history. They also discuss Splash, starring Tom Hanks' shouty voice and Daryl Hannah's ass. Beware: Fish puns and odd sexual acts ahead.

Breaking away from their plans to cover The Big Chill, Shana and Mike opt to look at Saturday Night Fever. instead Why? For the answer to that question, you'll have to listen in. Also, Shana wants everyone to watch an REM video, the Inspector Gadget theme is accidentally sung, and there's a heavy discussion about gender roles. So, you know, your typical episode of For Better or Worse. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

While covering The Birdcage, Shana and Mike find themselves in a surprisingly deep conversation about sexuality and faith, and societal pressure to hide both. All of that is brought down a level, however, when Lionel shows up to lick his balls. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

To celebrate the first anniversary of For Better or Worse, Shana and Mike each crafted two casts for the nearly perfect The Princess Bride. Also, according to Mike, who bathes in the blood of virgins?

Take Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, add in Colin Farrell and Michael Clarke Duncan, and top it all off with red leather and dodgy special effects. Mix, edit, chop, and edit once more. What do you get? The less-than-stellar Daredevil. Plus, Shana and Mike finally reveal what movie they'll be covering next time, for their First Anniversary Gala.

Shana and Mike celebrate Independence Day! Not Independence Day the movie, 'cause that sucks. Independence Day, the holiday. But not really. This is just a play on the title and the date. Also, while a dog outruns a fireball, Mike might not escape the doghouse.

Shana and Mike imagine the pitch for Three Men and a Baby must have gone like this: "Thomas Magnum, Sergeant Mahoney, and Sam Malone join forces to bring down mobsters while raising an infant girl left in their care."
