The Good, The Bad, and The What!?

GBW #108: Live From New York! (MacGruber / It's Pat: The Movie / Stuart Saves His Family)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, Ryan and Chris dive into the niche comedy category of "Saturday Night Live" sketch adaptations! We start with 2010's "MacGruber," which has fortunately got its flowers in the last thirteen years (including a sequel series on Peacock) because every moment of this absurdist action-comedy is gold. Then, we move into the antithesis of comedy gold (though at least within our limited perspective as cisgender males, not quite as problematic as we anticipated) with 1994's "It's Pat: The Movie." Its biggest crime is that it is antagonistically unfunny. Finally, we move into a weird one with 1995's "Stuart Saves His Family," a film that is not particularly funny, but is actually kind-of good, strangely somber, and directed by none other than Harold Ramis.
