Magic Mike (2012) | Tearing Your Clothes Off While High on GHB


Listen Later

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay crank the track "Pony" on repeat as they groove while talking about 'Magic Mike.' Andy is the first to the stage, as he recalls a time when he was calorie-counting, much like the strippers in this film, and switched from booze to GHB to disastrous results. Then the boys get into the nitty gritty and immediately air their grievance over the lack of dong for a movie based on the lives of male strippers. It may be remembered for indelible dance sequences, of which there are plenty, but the movie is less a party flick and more of a character study about handsome men from modest beginnings who are attempting to better their situation. Steven Soderbergh is commenting on the illusion of financial upward mobility in America, and he just recruited gorgeous humans to tell his tale. That includes Alex "The Kid" Pettyfer, who is hilariously tasked with trying to pick up women at the bar with his chiseled model-like looks. Make sure you stay for the whole stage show, as this episode starts off unhinged and only gets spicier from there.
