Switching Movie Genres
Show Notes

Back quicker than ever before, Sonny and Tom decide to do some genre-swapping. In other words, they pick a movie, change the genre, then discuss how the new movie would work. It's not exactly the pinnacle of podcast topics, but we don't hear you coming up with anything better.

Some of the genre swaps the boys explore include "Se7en" as a musical, "Silence of the Lambs" as a romance, and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" as a comedy. Which of them will work and which of them will result in dead bits that only take up a couple minutes of the podcast before the hosts inevitably move on? You'll have to listen to find out! They also take a good few minutes to roast Denis Villeneuve's 2013 thriller "Prisoners" for what they believe is a glaring plot hole in an otherwise excellent but deeply depressing movie.

If none of the above content sounds appealing, don't worry. The opening segment comes through to deliver an absolute stinker of a discussion, as the boys are forced to wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger would win an Oscar for playing Jason Robards' role in the 1977 Holocaust drama "Julia." I'm sure all the Robardheads in the audience are losing it at the mere mention of this performance, so you'll be happy to hear that the boys keep the conversation about a Holocaust film as lively as they possibly can.
