Holidate – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 81 “It’s my new least favorite word in the world.” Daniel and Corky serve as each other’s holidate on this holidate-themed episode of the Dare Daniel podcast. Rancid self-awareness and a complete lack of sincerity rule the holidate in this shallow rom-com […]

The Jesus Rolls – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 80 “Wiping your ass is an experience.” Daniel and Corky fuck with the Jesus in this day-drinking episode by reviewing John Turturro’s The Jesus Rolls.

Norbit – Dare Daniel Podcast Rerun 3

It’s a new year, but an old episode. Instead of working over Christmas break, Daniel and Corky decided to rerun one of their most beloved episodes of 2020. Failing that, they decided to rerun their review of Norbit instead.

The two saving graces to Norbit are Eddie Murphy’s go-for-broke performances, and the Oscar-nominated makeup work by Rick Baker and Kazuhiro Tsuji.  Otherwise, it’s a nonstop series of sloppily constructed comedy bits peopled with racist and misogynist caricatures. Norbit is a movie designed for children that no child should ever be allowed to watch.

Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss turkey ass, fart snores, power tap teachers and pimp-licious makeovers.

U.S. theatrical release date: Feb. 9, 2007

Domestic box office: $95.7 million (production budget: $60 million)

Critic scores: 9 on Rotten Tomatoes; 27 on Metacritic

This week’s craft coffee: Chapman Crafted Coffee’s First Roast (Single-Origin Guatemala)

This week’s darer: Mr. Positivity Wolfie T

Why did Wolfie T dare Daniel and Corky to watch Norbit? “Norbit is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, but I only know about five people who have actually seen it. When I saw it in the theatre, my friend and I were the only ones there. When I mention it to people, I get eye rolls, groans, sarcastic laughs, and the most common comment is, “That movie sucks…I haven’t seen it.” No other movie podcast would dare touch this one, not even the one I co-host!”

IMDB synopsis: “A mild-mannered guy, who is married to a monstrous woman, meets the woman of his dreams, and schemes to find a way to be with her.”

This week’s referenced movies: The VelociPastor; Love on a Leash; Angels & Demons; Inferno; Fight Club; Bruce Almighty; Backdraft; Top Gun; the Nutty Professor movies; Boomerang; Harlem Nights; Ready to Rumble; Meet Dave; A Thousand Words; the Star Wars prequels; I Know Who Killed Me; Dreamgirls; the Madea movies; Coming to America; Forrest Gump; the Harry Potter movies; National Lampoon’s Animal House; Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas; E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial; Road House (1989); My Name Is Dolemite
