Last year we both lost the Oscars competition we play every year, The Grouchies, to Carolyn Schult and she made us watch Strictly Ballroom. We decided since it’s having a 30th anniversary that we would just do a whole episode on it!

Since this movie revolves around dancing, we brought back a guest who dances in competitions all over the world, our buddy Chris Rupp. We got some great dancing insights and shared a bunch of laughs during this episode.

We conclude with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Dancing Movies.

Enjoy!

We love Liar Liar and it just so happened to be Jim Carrey’s first leading role playing a somewhat normal person. It came out 25 years ago already and we brought back someone who enjoys this movie as much as we do, one of our favorite humans, Broadway/TV/Film Actor Benny Elledge. Had too much fun with this one.

The super funny film about some super goofy state troopers is turning 20 years old…you guessed it…Super Troopers!

We had to bring back a guest who thinks this film is as hilarious as we do, and that guest is Seggie Isho! We love Seggie and had a lot of fun breaking down this film with him.

We hate talking about Wayne’s World…NOT! One of the best Saturday Night Live films ever is about to turn 30 years old. Wayne and Garth have been a big part of our lives and same goes for one of our favorite recurring guests, Adam Chance. We had so much fun talking about Wayne’s World with Chance and how it made us feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

The world lost a comedic treasure in Betty White a couple weeks ago. We were all set to discuss The Proposal to celebrate Betty White turning 100 and now we dedicate this episode in her memory instead.

We decided to start the new year with just us, so no guests with us this week.

We end this episode with a Blockbuster movie game which takes us a couple tries and then our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Movie Proposals.

Thanks so much and REST IN PEACE BETTY WHITE!
