Johnny’s love of Quentin Tarantino returns as he makes Andrew watch a doc about the director’s films (besides Hollywood) and sheds new light on the whole Weinstein situation. This is a light entertainment podcast recording during a lockdown heatwave.
195 - THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND
Well, it’s been a long time coming, the latest Judd Apatow film dropped online a few weeks back, and Andrew was psyched. Johnny tags along like it’s a regular day at the cinema, and comes away contemplating Pete Davidson’s comedy, and the potency of Bill Burr as an actor.
194 - ARTEMIS FOWL
It’s hard to find something new in this weird dead world, but Disney+ bring a film intended for August 2019 straight to streaming a year later, and Andrew and Johnny see it as reason enough to give it a go. Stay for Johnny’s Irish roots which makes Andrew’s Irish accent even MORE offensive, in these trying times.
193 - WORLD'S GREATEST DAD
A light spry comedy with Robin Williams is just the tonic this world needs, so Andrew throws Johnny into the proverbial deep end with a Bobcat Goldthwait picture, and discusses the times he attempted to bring a second Williams/Goldthwait project to the forefront, because nostalgia and distraction are all we have left in this rotting world of ours.
192 - FUNNY PEOPLE
On the eve of The King Of Staten Island it’s time to check into Apatown for one more swing for the fences, and a 145 minute Adam Sandler cancer drama. Can Johnny make it through the extended runtime? Can Andrew make it through the extended lockdown? Are rhetorical questions good for adding mystery?
