Join Jesse and Jason this week as they discuss the comedic masterpiece, Step Brothers. We're breaking down the film's most outrageous scenes and celebrating the improvisational brilliance that makes this comedy a standout classic. From Mary Steenburgen's recurring role as the quintessential on-screen mom to the dynamic duo of John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell, we're unpacking the laughs scene by scene and exploring the quirks of family life.
Blended families and sibling shenanigans take center stage as we swap tales of step-sibling rivalry and the awkwardness of calling someone new "dad." Delight in our analysis of "Step Brothers," where we relate the movie's hilarious take on family dynamics to our own experiences. We even touch on the film's unintended therapeutic effects for actors like Evan Peters, and its surprising influence on Joaquin Phoenix. And remember, life's a little easier when you can laugh at the chaos of a drum-set demolition or the absurdity of a Catalina Wine Mixer showdown.
As we wrap up this laughter-laden discussion, Jesse and Jason invite you to send us your funniest family stories, questions, and thoughts. We tease some future fun with a nod to our next week's topic and remind you to stay connected with us through our social media links.

Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast, where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse and I'm Jason. If you were a chick, who's the one guy you sleep with? Just?
Speaker 2:famous.
Speaker 1:What Did we just become best friends? Yup, next week we recommend Step Brothers.
Speaker 2:He's got the hair man. He's got the hair.
Speaker 1:I don't know I feel like. So alright, who are you? Are you Della Brennan, let's go. And who am I?
Speaker 2:in this situation. I'm probably Della, I don't know. I love John C Riley. I would know you Della?
Speaker 1:I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think I'll be Brennan and you'll be Delle.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess, probably because my parents were divorced and I lived with my mom mostly, so I guess I would be Brennan and my parents. She's always singing about me having a manjina, is she? Yeah, I love that part where she's like in some of the nastier parents singing it too.
Speaker 1:And then for a minute.
Speaker 2:I did also sort of sink it in.
Speaker 1:So I want to know this is like one of my favorite comedies and I feel like ever since the Dumb and Dumber episode that me and Natalie did and she was a little like I'm not like super big into stepbrothers Everybody that I know that isn't that big into stepbrothers has come out and told me yeah, I think it's alright and I'm like, what are we talking about? Because I've seen this movie at that like so much, especially when it first came out on DVD and Blu-ray.
Speaker 2:I saw it in theaters with my actual stepbrother. I got to see it in theaters too. And when I was like in my 20s and he was 40, in his 40s, and he was living at home and of course I didn't know what this movie was about, but we went to watch it together and I was so ashamed, yeah.
Speaker 1:Why, I don't know. He didn't like it.
Speaker 2:No, I loved it, but like it was with my stepbrother who lives at home with his parents.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And he's a total dweeb. Oh no, and.
Speaker 1:I was just like this is real. I was just gonna say it's like whenever did y'all both like watch the trailer together and look at each other like we have to see it together?
Speaker 2:No, he just. He invited me to see it and I was like sure I'll go.
Speaker 1:I wonder if he had the idea of like.
Speaker 2:I should invite a stepbrother to this, that'd be so fun, oh gosh.
Speaker 1:I saw this at the I believe it was at a drive-in, the drive-in that we have right here.
Speaker 2:And you stopped making out for enough time to watch it.
Speaker 1:Well, it was just like me and three other people.
Speaker 2:All making out.
Speaker 1:We're just all making out just four mouths in the middle of the car. Sloppy, but it played with Pineapple Express Awesome, which is also one of the funniest movies I've ever made, and like I had a six pack by the end of the night just from laughing consistently.
Speaker 2:Oh not of alcohol. Oh, no, no, no, no, you had abs from laughing Abs, abs, abs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean the just the amount of jokes in this movie, like I mean every I don't know four seconds.
Speaker 1:There's a joke at some point right, it's wild how much they cram into this movie and it just like goes. I was watching it before this and I was like, oh my gosh, we're already like I'm like 75% through this movie. It just I don't know. It's just so good and of course, it's all probably improvised, because everything that Adam McKay does is improvised. Oh no, kidding. Yeah, which Adam McKay he did? You've probably seen most of his movies, probably so the other guys he did, the VICE, the big short Anchorman, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I should have started with Anchorman.
Speaker 1:I mean that's his, that's his stuff there.
Speaker 2:And how many times does this make it? What's the Brennan's mom's name? Nancy? She's always his mom, yeah, right.
Speaker 1:And it's so weird. It's like, hey Will, do you want to be in this movie? Yeah, do I have a parent? Bring my mom, I need a plus one.
Speaker 2:It's Mary Steinberg is her actual name.
Speaker 1:But yeah, she's great. She's always good in everything she does. She's always like playing a mom, but she's great.
Speaker 2:Kind of funny mom yeah.
Speaker 1:I just watched what's Eating Gilbert. Great, she's in it. Great as always, she's in it.
Speaker 2:Fresh as in get out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the movie stars Will Ferrell as Brennan Huff, john C Reilly as Dale Doback, mary Steinberg as Nancy, richard Jenkins as Dr Robert Doback, adam Scott as Derek Catherine Hawn freaking legend as Alice. You got Rob Riggle as Randy Love. Rob Riggle, Then, you know, just get a bunch of other people. It's always good. You have a Phil Lamar sighting in the movie Love when he Pops In King Jong, one of the best Seth Robbins in it Great.
Speaker 1:It's like you guys seem chill and cool and I'd like to hang out with you, Get you far. I can taste it Small room, it's like you know what. On like it actually the tuxedo seemed kind of. It's so good. So we're getting to, oh, actually real quick. What would this rank in? Like your comedies, Like, can you name me some of your favorite comedies? Oh man.
Speaker 2:Well, I was always a big fan of stuff like with Chris Farley, adam Sandler, so like the Tommy Boy, happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so okay, stead Brothers or Tommy Boy.
Speaker 2:Probably Stead Brothers. Okay, all right, stead.
Speaker 1:Brothers Anchorman. Stead Brothers Okay, stead Brothers, 40 year old virgin.
Speaker 2:Ooh, it's a 40 year old virgin.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to gauge it where we're at in terms of where you like this movie. I actually kind of like this movie better in all those. Personally, it may actually just be one of my favorite flat out comedies.
Speaker 2:Just love the movie. To me it's just. It's so real sometimes you know what it is. It scares me.
Speaker 1:I think it's John C Riley that really crushes it. Yeah, he does, because him and Will Ferrell together are just legendary. And plus, I don't know if you've ever seen Walcard, but man, yes, I have. That movie is all John C Riley.
Speaker 2:It did pay for drugs once.
Speaker 1:You didn't pay for drugs once, not once. You don't want any of this, do we?
Speaker 1:I think I do want some of that Classic All right, so let's pop into some facts. So in a deleted scene from the parents wedding Dale gives a toast to his deceased mother who, according to him, loved hot air balloons but burned and died thanks to propane gas being invisible. And then, also in the scene, you learn Brennan's dad, and it turns out as an ex banker who hasn't been seen since an incident involving a bag of cocaine and a gun at an airport. Oh wow, I need to. I don't know why I don't own this on Blu-ray or, honestly, I want a 4K copy of this.
Speaker 1:I want the best possible version because I want to watch all the deleted scenes. I watched a couple of them on YouTube. They're pretty good. It's pretty. I mean, it's all funny, it's weird. I was like, man, you could add it to more minutes of this movie, I wouldn't mind it. So when it came to Richard Jenkins being the dad, mackay said that they decided on Jenkins for the role of Dale's dad because of his look. Apparently, the actor nailed the conservative dad from Pasadena criteria, while not having the forced jokie vibe of a Chevy Chase. Yeah, okay, richard Jenkins is the best. Yeah, he fucking rules. It's always funny and he crushes every movie he's in, and usually it makes me cry when he's in a movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they never really go into what happened to their parents.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's all just, I guess in the deleted scene.
Speaker 2:I guess they just didn't find it funny enough? I don't know we're just needed to cut some time Maybe.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Because they don't get into the emotional, not really. They do kind of explain why they're there a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because one thing happened in their past, like the.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, the manjina and.
Speaker 2:The manjina thing and the what happened to.
Speaker 1:Dale God, I could not remember off the top of my head.
Speaker 2:God. Anyway, you know what my parents did.
Speaker 1:He just has a sense of entitlement and he's like he dropped out of college.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, he went to college to join the family business.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he dropped out, so it's like you're a doctor. He says it's all about who you know.
Speaker 2:It's wild. Oh, no, that's when my parents I stayed with them for a week and because I was between jobs and apartments, and they came home from work one day and they had all my stuff was just in the driveway and they were gone. I was like, okay, well, they just moved. No, no, they just kicked me out. Holy crap, how old were you? I think I was 22 or something.
Speaker 1:Oh, gosh, they're just like enough's enough.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm gonna get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sorry that sucks. If I knew you could have stayed with me, which I would have been living with my parents.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, it's not been after grade I would have still been in high school. I was just, you know, homeless for like a while. Oh well, that's not good.
Speaker 1:Just living under.
Speaker 2:You're just living in their backyard. It's like I don't know where you expect me to just go.
Speaker 1:You just put all my stuff in the driveway, what I was supposed to do, which it wasn't much stuff, because you know it's just like one box, like dang that man. I need more stuff. I also need a house, yeah, a roof. So in another deleted scene, brennan claims that he once got 18 stitches on his nut sack and that they had to put a halo on him to keep him away. I don't know what exactly that means.
Speaker 2:Like they've known like the brown dogs.
Speaker 1:Yeah but what are?
Speaker 2:they putting it on His neck.
Speaker 1:But they keeping him away.
Speaker 2:Do they put it on his hands?
Speaker 1:or is it on his nuts so he couldn't scratch? I guess I like the idea of it being on his nuts it's kind of funny Just walking around in kilts because you need something with no bottom.
Speaker 2:Bring back the kilts.
Speaker 1:Yes let's do it. Let's just bring back man's skirts, you know.
Speaker 2:We need them yeah man. We need to air out all the raids for like hundreds of years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly so. Ken Jeong, the actor. He told the ringer that his 25-second scene, because he's the one that's like giving Dale the temp job and he says all this crazy stuff. He's like great, I got a perfect thing for you. So he told the ringer that his 25-second scene took three hours to complete, thanks to McKay's knack for letting actors improvise themselves wrong. They shoot so much footage a million and a half feet of film, according to McKay that Kodak sent over champagne Because I guess like hey, thank you Wow 25-second scene three hours.
Speaker 1:It's wild and like it's really not nothing too crazy or funny in it yeah. It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2:I guess, like does that mean, they were bad at it?
Speaker 1:No, they just it's just one of those things. It's like keep going until we get the funniest possible thing, and then, once we're like, oh, okay they just want to make sure they have enough footage to be like oh, we can put anything here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we can just slap some of this thing, we'll find the funniest thing and slap it together.
Speaker 1:It's kind of I mean, that's an exciting way to make a movie, but sometimes it's like I don't know, just like maybe not three hours of filming one scene.
Speaker 1:Geez, it's pretty wild. So McKay recalled that while editing his other movie with Farrell and John C Riley, someone said oh, this is Talladega Nights. Someone said bunk beds and I was like wait, what if they were adult stepbrothers? They called him up and they're like I love it. That's how old stepbrothers came to be. Pretty well, that, uh, that's all it takes. Just hearing the word bunk beds, I have an entire movie idea.
Speaker 1:The actor, evan Evan Peters. He was in the Jeffrey Dahmer series that recently came out. It was disturbing, yeah. So when the actor was done filming the Netflix series monster, the Jeffrey Dahmer story, he needed something to help him step away from the darkness. The movie where two grown men refused to get jobs because they want to watch Shark Week was apparently the right medicine.
Speaker 1:Peter said that knowing he could go home and leave all that negativity negativity behind and just watch. Stepbrothers got him through it and To continue with this walking Phoenix said this is one of his favorite movies.
Speaker 2:He said he's seen it.
Speaker 1:He's seen this movie more than he's seen any other movie gave him inspiration for the Joker. Yeah, so so funny was he laughed so hard when he was playing Napoleon. He's like what if I brought some just dale doh back?
Speaker 2:Channel channel, you're burning.
Speaker 1:He gets on a boat for one scene. Immediately I start seeing boats and hoes, boats and hoes and the lonely island song. Yes, I'm on a boat. I love that All right, so let's get into the film. So it starts off with some opening credits. Family is where our nation finds hope, where wings take a dream. Take dream, actual quote from George Bush. Once you know, I've seen that a thousand times and I've never thought to like, oh, that's silly.
Speaker 1:But then I was like family is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream they sure do. How do wings take a dream? I saw pretty silly. So the film starts with Brennan and Dale. To adults who live at home. They're essentially children. Yeah, 40 year old children, adult. We see their parents. Brennan's mother is Nancy and Dale's father is Robert. The two meet at a conference. He's like doing this speech. It's like yes, and this will help you and we'll make you want to put your face between those breasts.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, this never happens to me and then they fuck oh, and I love it cuz they're going through. It's like I like, like sailing, I do this, blah, blah, blah. And then Nancy's like I donate to the NPR every year. Hell yeah, it's like one other thing. Give me them socks. I have a 30 year, 39 year old son that lives at home with me. Oh, I do too, and then they, they both squirt.
Speaker 2:Because you kind of expecting them to be turned off by it.
Speaker 1:Found each other?
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe they'll see, this is just good friends and move no matter what, what you think, there's always someone out there for you.
Speaker 1:There's always hope, guys.
Speaker 2:There's hope, unless you have 40 year old children.
Speaker 1:Yeah, then that that will be tough and you only have a few partners.
Speaker 2:You can get a chance, yeah.
Speaker 1:Then we immediately start cutting to their wedding. We see there, we see their two kids. They're hating this. Get a room, dad. Samin out of the salmon. I told you four times. Well, it's all this wedding's horseshit. I mean we're like 30 seconds in the movie. It's just like we're just got banger after banger. That's, somebody needs to hit these children. Yeah, so Nancy and Brent in there driving to Robert and Dales house I'm not calling them dad, robert, better not get my back seat yeah.
Speaker 1:Just so angry. Robert, better not get my face. I'll drop that motherfucker. I Do love when he's like I'm not calling them dad. It's like no one's expecting you to call him dad. Brennan, 40 year old man. Yeah. And then you cut to Dell and Robert talking about them moving in. Dell says there, they are men and do manly things. She will ruin that. He's like we make beef jerky. We walk around naked, she said, with a door open. Yeah, it's like we have literally never done any of those things.
Speaker 1:It's so funny. Dell comes up with a story. Dell, he says, suppose Nancy sees me coming out of the shower he decides to come on to me. I'm looking good, got a luscious V of hair growing through my chest pubes down to my ball. So she takes one look at me and goes oh my god, I've had the old bull, but now I want the young calf. And she grabs me by the wiener. Shut the fuck up. I mean, come on.
Speaker 2:It's the best.
Speaker 1:This is gonna be a podcast of me laughing, me and you laughing the whole time. So Brennan and Nancy arrive. Brennan refuses to get out of the car. Obviously, is he getting out? He's like no, he's just sitting in the car. We meet dawn, the blind neighbor and his misbehaving guy, doc Sinomate.
Speaker 1:This dog sucks, he's in like all the scenes like in the like. Not really, but he's on a lot of the scenes and I love it as like a throwback to all the jokes, which is something that Adam McKay is so good at. Like don't look up. Maybe not be like a movie. A lot of people like I thought it was funny, but the fact that Jennifer Lawrence's character is so obsessed with a guy that, for like, had them buy chips for him even though he can get him for free and he she just keeps bringing it up and it's funny every time. Don't look up, it's got Jennifer.
Speaker 2:Lawrence.
Speaker 1:Leonardo DiCaprio, timothy Shalamet it's got everybody the meteorite movie.
Speaker 2:Yes, and the guy charges him $10. Yeah, and it's like I don't even know why he did that.
Speaker 1:Anyways, but oh yeah, and they're talking to the blind guy still. So after a while come over and touch your face. Later she's like okay, mary Sombra's facial reactions of this movie are so funny, so funny, she's such she has such good reactions. So Dell asked Nancy to make him a sandwich. Okay, can you make me? Like yeah, sure, I was like no, he's just, he's just seeing what he could do, it's like, but I'm hungry. It's like, look in your right hand, he's got a sandwich.
Speaker 1:Della and Brennan then size each other up. You have to call me dragon, you have to call me night Hawk. And then we cut to them having dinner. The boys are being super rude and obnoxious. Yet Brennan sipping loud, dale to squirt and catch up Robert's like that's enough, that's enough, oh god, I am Brennan. Stairs at Dell, take a picture last longer. And then you have Brennan's like mr Dove, mr Dovex, like just call me Robert. Okay, robin, oh, my god, just cry, my eyes are kind of watering. So we learn Brennan can sing. I've been called the songbird of a generation, but he won't sing in front of anybody and he's only in his mom's. Only seen him sing like twice. Yes, dell says he can sing. If you want to get down on these hairy balls.
Speaker 2:I love what he's. They're like. They're saying you know, brennan, you got to share a room with Dale because he refuses to give up this drum room.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his office.
Speaker 2:And he's giving up a tour through the house is like the house was built 1925.
Speaker 1:But after he does the whole song, then you have will Ferrell's character saying I remember when I had my first year beer and then Dale first time I heard that fell off my dinosaur. And then Brennan starts crying oh yeah, rob is. Robert says they have to sleep in the same room because the drum set. Dale says he likes fruit. When he's getting up he tells Nancy likes fresh fruit and Brennan tries to. Brennan tries to shake Robert's hand but then he's like pretend to hug and then just walks away completely. It's so funny. Um so Dale shows Brennan upstairs house was built 19 or 1825 by general Custer. Dale says nobody's allowed to touch his drum drum set.
Speaker 2:No touching. So my dad, my stepfather, when I was really little my mom got remarried and my mom's like he would really like for you to call him dad and I'm just like no Doing it.
Speaker 1:I just called him this by his first name, you know like yeah, cuz I don't believe you mom, If that happened to me, where I became a stepdad, I wouldn't expect anybody to ever call me dad and I wouldn't care if they did. It's like now you just call me Jesse, that's fine, I'm cool with that. But I don't know. I don't have kids, I don't know. Yeah, it's, it's, it's weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but she did the same things who a girl she adopted in Mexico.
Speaker 1:Oh really.
Speaker 2:She would like coach her on what to say, to try to get me to like. Join like her. Oh, we're weird, or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. Strange, very so. Robert discusses sailing. Robert explains Dale never. Oh yeah, this is the stuff there. I'm Nancy and Robert and bed together. Robert discusses selling, robert explains Dale because he wants to retire and sell sale around the world sounds terrible and I would never want to do that.
Speaker 2:It sounds scary and I'm not lucky, I just die.
Speaker 1:I'd be in the middle ocean, giant wave come up. I'd be like, sorry Nat, we die now or I'll see a whale. I'm like now we turn around this. They're too big something spooky in the water. It'll just be a blue whale and I'm good, I'm good water so big it's like in castaway. I've seen where he's on the raft in the blue giant. Looks at him and looks at him like Wow, just kill me.
Speaker 2:I hope you're frozen in fear. Kill me.
Speaker 1:I'd try to touch it. Maybe Poke it's eye, poke it's eye.
Speaker 2:Get out of here, wee.
Speaker 1:So Robert explains Del never left because of his sense of entitlement. Brennan never left because Brennan was singing in high school musical. It was a pirate, a song from a pirate musical. It's not a musical, it was like a talent show. And his brother, derek, and his friends started singing. Brennan has a man giant up. Even some parents joined in, nancy joined in sometime and then we learned Derek won the talent show by lip syncing.
Speaker 2:I saw this baby Robert.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's like oh, that's a great song, nancy's, like it really is.
Speaker 2:That's what's up Everybody's.
Speaker 1:Brennan never had a chance. Never had a chance Lips. I saw this baby and Adam Scott plays Derek and he just fucking crushes he had like dancers doing ballet in the back.
Speaker 2:It was a whole set, like he had a set.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he had make ups, fake hair, everything.
Speaker 2:So later that night, so when I got into college, we had this big thing in this auditorium where you're supposed to introduce yourself as a new student in front of all the other students. That sucks, it did suck. And the guy that was in front of me, I would quit school. The guy that was in front of me, he just did ice ice. He just busted out with ice ice baby. And then it was my turn and I was like, well, I don't have anything like that.
Speaker 1:You should have just started singing ice, ice, baby.
Speaker 2:Exactly what he did. It worked for him.
Speaker 1:And then hope that the next person comes on and just starts doing ice, ice. I was the last person to go. Oh really it was.
Speaker 2:It was so fucked.
Speaker 1:You should have just went up and just, I don't know.
Speaker 2:This one guy just yelled his name and everyone cheered. I'm like what the fuck?
Speaker 1:is this going on? Did he hear like Steve Holt?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like that, but his name was Yale. He was like I'm Yale and everyone was like yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's go. Yale Weird, Terrifying man, 2000s crazy time. So later that, later that, later that night, the two guys are whispering mean things to each other.
Speaker 2:They're lying next to each other.
Speaker 1:Got Dale. Hey, you awake, brennan. Yeah, dale, I just want you to know I hate you and so does my dad, brennan. Well, that's fine, because, guess what, I hate you too, and this house sucks ass, dale. Well, the only reason you're living here is because me and my dad decided that your mom was really hot and maybe we should just both banger and we'll put up with the idiot. In the meantime, I'm just taking out the R word because I don't want to get canceled. Who's the idiot? You, brennan? Hey, I'll say that Dale, shut up. You, wake up, my dad. Give me grounded, brennan. Just shut up, dale. You and your mom are hillbillies.
Speaker 1:This house is of learned doctors. Brennan, you're not a doctor, you're a big, fat, curly-headed fuck. Dale turns his face to Brennan. Oh, yeah, brennan. Yeah, dale, I'm a curly-headed fuck. Brennan. Yeah, you better not go to sleep, because as soon as you close your eyes, as soon as you shut your eyes, I'm going to punch you square in the face. I'm getting too excited, dale. I hope you stay still when you sleep, because I'm going to put a rat trap between your legs. Brennan, I'm going to take a pillowcase, fill it up with bars of soap and beat the shit out of you. Dale, turns away from Brennan. Dale, I want you out of my fucking house, brennan. No way, king Masabi, this is my house now.
Speaker 1:Dude, I mean just a minute and a half of just laughing.
Speaker 2:Just laughing. I can imagine this thing going on forever.
Speaker 1:This had to be like 10 hours of filming, right here, Just those two in bed, just insults at each other.
Speaker 2:Is it true that they really didn't like each other?
Speaker 1:John C Rowley and Wilfred. Yeah, they really love each other. They've done like a thousand movies together.
Speaker 2:I never saw anything.
Speaker 1:Now there's like Adam McKay and Will Ferrell kind of had a falling out because was it called winning time on HBO, where John C Rowley is like the coach of the Lakers or whatever? No, I don't know, it's done by Adam McKay, and Will Ferrell wanted to be a part of it, but Adam McKay said no, so I think they had a little bit of a falling out, which sucks, because I want Adam McKay stop making like political things and go back to this. I do like some of his political movies.
Speaker 1:But it's like the big short is great. It makes you want to die because you feel like nothing's fair in this world and rich people control everything. And then VICE also kind of makes you want to die because like wow, evil people rule this world and Don't Look Up.
Speaker 2:Also kind of makes you want to die because everybody's stupid, everybody Okay.
Speaker 1:So anyways, we cut to the family sailing Dale pushes Brennan overboard. Let the games begin. And it's a pretty boat though I can't remember who, but they is it on Brennan's back or Dale's back, where someone writes I love crystal meth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when you put the shirt on, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, brennan. And then Brennan gives Dale a huge fake cut on his head.
Speaker 2:So much terror out of it. That's amazing yeah look great Talented.
Speaker 1:He's going crazy on Dale's drum set. He's just yelling into the drum set. Fuck you, dude, he's yelling into the drum. And when Dale comes home he asks why Brennan is so sweaty. I was watching cops. Dale checks his drum set and he sees the chips on the sticks. He confronts Brennan. He knows he didn't touch the drum. He knows he touched the drum set because cops doesn't start till four.
Speaker 2:And when you're home every day, you know that's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Brennan's getting all pissy. Brennan gets up so he is going upstairs. I'm going to put my nut sack on your drum set. I will stab you in the neck with a knife, he pulls on his sights.
Speaker 2:Oh God, they're so gross and weird, oh.
Speaker 1:God, it's like it's a big, giant pair. But he actually does it. And then Dale tackles them. They start fighting.
Speaker 2:Fuck that drum set up.
Speaker 1:You choking him with headphones.
Speaker 2:He puts Brennan under the kick pedal and he starts kicking it on his face.
Speaker 1:The fight continues downstairs. I'm going to rub my balls on your mom's face. Brennan runs outside and is immediately attacked by the neighbor's guide dogs.
Speaker 2:He's still there waiting for them.
Speaker 1:You can hear him barking throughout the scene and it's like what's the dog just waiting outside and where's the boy?
Speaker 2:He's just like I don't know he's probably lost in the industry. This is the worst thing I've done.
Speaker 1:And now they're fighting in the front yard. Brennan, I teabagged your drum set, your drum set's a whore, my drum set's a guy, so that makes you gay, you fucker. He's starting to cry as he's saying it oh man, Fuck all of this.
Speaker 2:And then we cut to.
Speaker 1:Robert. He's getting a phone call at work. We hear Nancy screaming on the phone. They're going at it like animals. They get there and Brennan is just yelling rape. And there's so many dogs Like. There's just so many people with their dog just standing around there watching. It's like why is there so many?
Speaker 2:dogs around Brennan's just got a bicycle as a weapon.
Speaker 1:It's so wild and then they both hit each other. One has golf club, one has a bat and they hit each other in the head and they both go down and I love it. This is one of my favorite lines from the movie. You got Nancy. What the fucking fuck, what the fucking fuck Snake's like. You got to calm down dude Snake. If you were in movies you'd be in that scene, because they had every dog in the world there. God, he's looking so cute. I got to stop looking at him. He's going to get up and start getting rolled up. So we cut to them watching Shark Week. They're like yeah, they have five, I still hate you. Shark yells at them saying they have one month to find the job and get out of here. Dale, why are you talking to me like that?
Speaker 2:I'm your son. It's like quit.
Speaker 1:And then you have the whole fucking Nancy. I've never seen my son act like this. You yelled rape at the top of your lungs, mom, I honestly thought I was going to be raped for a second. He had the craziest look in his eyes and at one point he said let's get it on, dale, that was about the fighting. I'm not a raper, brennan. Look, I didn't touch your drum set. Ok, dale, I witnessed my eyes, your testicles, on my drum set. Robert starts freaking out. He says no TV for a week?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think her out.
Speaker 1:This house is a fucking prison. I'm going to bullshit In the galaxy of this. Sucks camel dick, oh great. And that night they're all sleeping. Then suddenly Brennan starts sleepwalking and then Dale does too. They start destroying the house, just throwing stuff and throwing food everywhere. It's fucking hilarious. At the drive-in I specifically remember this scene Everybody's got their windows down, it's middle of summer and everybody is just cackling in the cars. You have people just laughing as loud as possible.
Speaker 2:It's so good, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:And because that's like the bummer about the drive-in, it's like you don't really get to experience the audience especially in a comedy, but everybody's had their windows down. Everybody was just cracking up.
Speaker 2:It was great. He's like putting the cushions in the oven.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because Robert and Nancy wake up and they're worried because they think like, oh no, did we have robbers? And then they find Nancy's purse in the freezer. Then Dale puts couch pills in the oven and then Nancy just starts breaking down like what the hell Couldn't just one of them be crazy and the other would be normal? So Nancy goes to wake them up. I'll kill you. Lino Nimoy the clown has no penis. What are you all dreaming about? Nancy tells them Derek is coming to visit and we learn Brennan hates him.
Speaker 1:We cut to Derek's family driving in their cars. He's the worst finance bro. They start doing acapella of Sweet Child of Mine. Everybody's good, but Alice, derek's wife, flat, you don't even look good while singing. $1,200 a week we do for this. He's such a tool, he's such an asshole. It's so funny. And then later at dinner we're seeing robbers in love with Derek. He's hanging on everywhere, he's saying. During Rob and Nancy's wedding we learned that he was fixing fishing with Mark Cuban, jeff Probst and Bobby Flay. I'm obsessed with Survivor and Jeff Probst is the host.
Speaker 1:Mark Cuban's Shark Tank and Bobby Flay is the chef. Yeah, I don't watch any of those shows. I don't watch the other two, but I'm obsessed with Survivor so I found this one very funny. But it's just funny that he missed his parents' wedding. Robert's cool with it. Yeah, robert's like no, I totally understand. So Derek's in the middle of a story. Dale asks the question and Robert gets so mad at him from interrupting. He's like God damn it, stop interrupting. Derek is so cocky and arrogant. Robert is so in love with him. Derek asks where Brennan is. He's hiding in his tree house. Essentially, dale goes to the tree house where Brennan is hiding. Brennan is looking at Newtie Max. I got them from the 60s, 70s, 80s. It's like masturbating in a time machine.
Speaker 2:Yes, very sticky time machine.
Speaker 1:I love it. There's one point where Brennan's just like oh man, this is a really good issue. He's like stop, you're crinkling it, You're crinkling. No, I'm not, I'm crinkling it, it's my babies.
Speaker 1:There's such children. Derek is telling Robert to not wait to sell the world. In two years Derek could sell his house for more than 30% above market. Robert starts acting like a dick, like he does this high five. He's starting acting like young and hip and then he kind of says something rude to Nancy. Nancy's like don't talk to me like that in front of my son. Nancy doesn't want to rush into things. Essentially she's worried about her sons. It's like there's this a point where you guys stop worrying. I think it's here at 40. That's the mark You're 40. Okay, sorry, yeah, at 40 years, to figure this out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but she kind of reminds me, or no, Derek reminds me of my step brother that I was talking about earlier. Yeah, he has a sister, he has two sisters, but the younger sister is just this beautiful blonde and she's just like everybody loves her because she's pretty and like she was, she married a friend, she married a Derek and she was kind of cool, but she really believes in the Aryan race and that she's part of it. I'm like, you know, like Hitler Yikes, dude, she's what and I was like. I was like that's not really a thing, you know. She's like oh yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:I read this one book.
Speaker 1:It was really good. It was called like Mind Something.
Speaker 2:I don't know. And then a broker knows on accident with a football.
Speaker 1:God, yeah, allegedly on accident, it really was. You're just like you're just throwing football with her.
Speaker 2:And then I did. I threw it off like a kickoff and she tried to catch it and just hit her in the face.
Speaker 1:Subconsciously you're like, I know I was like a little bit happy.
Speaker 2:You just thought of Hitler for a second just throwing as hard out as her face for just as you could that's for all of the six million Jews?
Speaker 1:Yes, this is for the Holocaust. Wow, she sucks. Yeah, she does. That sucks, people, suck. People are stupid, like I was saying earlier. So Derek goes to the tree house and starts dissing them. Derek starts gloating I haven't had a carp since 2004. Shows his abs completely different person.
Speaker 2:Obviously yeah, he's obviously a model, a real model. Step in.
Speaker 1:It's called oiled up and everything. So funny. He offered them a job because his mom asked him to. Says it's an early Christmas present for her. Such a dick. Derek says they both look like they want to punch them in the face. He eggs them on and Dell punches them. He falls out of the tree house. Hell yeah, brenne loves it. Hey, derek, you know it's always good for shoulder pain If you lick my butthole. Oh, that's such a good line, perfect line.
Speaker 2:I should say that that works.
Speaker 1:So Alice grabs Dale and Alice's Derek's wife grabs Dale as they're all leaving and she is so turned on from him punching him. Just so you know I'm going to pleasure myself, to the image of you doing that to Derek Master Bay. I'm going to Master Bay. I want to roll you into a little ball and shove you in my vagina. You can live in there. It's warm and cozy. I want to walk around with you in there Every time I feel a little tickle. I'll just know that you're in there, catherine.
Speaker 1:Hawn is the funniest person in the world. It's insane. She's always funny. It was, you know. It's like it's all funny and then I want to walk around with you in there. It's just the part where I'm like Jesus Christ. She's one step away from murdering Derek yeah it's crazy so and they awkwardly kiss Like they're not even kissing.
Speaker 1:They're just rubbing their open mouths on each other and she's like I hate my life. I hate my life. You seem pretty happy, oh man. And Derek yells for 20 minutes. Dan Cook paper view. Oh God, actually I've been kind of wanting to go back and watch the old Dan Cook episodes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean it would I remember loving Dan Cook as a kid. It's like I want to kind of go back and see if I still like it. I was watching an episode of Work of Horlicks and all of a sudden he pops up in it.
Speaker 2:Oh, really this is so fucking funny.
Speaker 1:It is so funny in it Because he's playing like a cocky boss of the telomelo corp that they work at. It's like just the sister plan essentially. Yeah, whatever, that is it.
Speaker 2:Whatever it's, so fucking rules though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is, it's so funny. Their podcast is hilarious and I don't even like celebrity podcasts. Because they made me mad. Yeah, Because you already got noticed. Ok, Go make a movie.
Speaker 2:Let us guys do it the one with Jason Bateman. I don't like it. I love Jason Bateman but like I think it's hilarious, I've only listened to one or two episodes you have to find a host that you know or like other guests Like.
Speaker 1:The more you're interested in the guest, the more it is. There is really I can't listen to too much of it in a row because I'm like, OK, we get it. Jason Bateman, you're sarcastic. Will Arnett, you're equally sarcastic, and the other guy just takes off the chair. He's his love. I love Will Arnett, I love them all, but it's just. I don't know, I'm just crapping on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they already have enough audience, enough money.
Speaker 1:Let us have the podcast audience. Give us a chance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't actually really like it. I need to take a chance on their podcast.
Speaker 1:I guess Take a chance, Take a chance. So Brennan is pumped from hitting Derek. Brennan says that they should become friends. Brennan shows Dale his Samurai sword, signed by American idols Randy Jackson. What's?
Speaker 2:the talk. Weird thing to sign. Why did you?
Speaker 1:have Randy Jackson sign it. It's like, well, I saw Randy Jackson and all I had on me was a sword and you're not going to get Randy Jackson. I would have done the same thing. Dale shows off his night vision goggles. Could you imagine if we had these when we were 12? Even better, we have them when we're 40. And then he ends it. These aren't even that noticeable on your face, they're just taking up the whole face. They are realizing they are becoming best friends. Dale, on the count of three, name your favorite dinosaur. Don't even think about it, just name it Ready. One, two, three. Velociraptor.
Speaker 1:Favorite non-pornographic magazine to masturbate to Good house. Keith John Stamos, did we just become best friends? Yep. Do you want to do karate in the garage? Yep, then we have a montage of them having fun.

Speaker 2:They're all just insane.
Speaker 1:They ask their parents if they can build bunk beds. There's going to be so much room for extra activities. It's so true, robert, I don't give a fuck. You got interviews tomorrow and you should be thinking about that.
Speaker 2:Breaking out the power tools.
Speaker 1:But then after that they're like so.
Speaker 2:They're like yes, go build your bunk bed.
Speaker 1:They build these janky ass bunk beds. They dance around the room a little bit. So much room for activities. Then they're getting ready to get in bed. This is how we do it. I forgot to ask you do you like Wokamoli? It jumps on the bed, breaks and falls on Brennan. Dale freaks out and gets Robert and Nancy. There's blood everywhere. He barely has a scratch. Robert just slaps his scratch. He's just done.
Speaker 2:He's had enough.
Speaker 1:The next day Robert is super nervous about their whole job interview. Dale and Brennan need to borrow Robert's clothes. He's like borrow anything you need. We cut to their interviews and we see them they're just in full tuxedos.
Speaker 2:So Robert had two matching tuxedos? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:They fit them perfectly. Then we have they're going to do their interviews. The lady comes up and is like Brennan, you're up first. He's like we'll be interviewing you as a team. We're here to fuck shit up.
Speaker 2:As they're walking, they're snocking stuff out of people's hands.
Speaker 1:Then we get the montage of interviews. You have Pam or Pan Hello, miss Lady. Then we have the guy that they're like we're going to interview you. How much money do you make a year before taxes? It's like all right. One question Oprah, barbara Walters, your wife, you got to fuck one, marry one and kill one.

Speaker 2:Have you ever had a bad interview experience? That was on this level.
Speaker 1:No, I've only really did two job interviews. Because I've only had two different jobs. I crushed them both.
Speaker 2:I've had a couple that were the one when I applied to be a guard of the women's prison in Nashville. This is what the scene reminds me of, because the lady was like so you're like a good looking man, are you afraid that going to work around all these women, because there's some celebrities here that you're going to have trouble dealing with that? And I'm like, I'm very strong physically and and I just the way that I go because I was so nervous.
Speaker 1:How do you even answer that? What do you mean? Are you going to be?
Speaker 2:able to withstand all the dick grabbing.
Speaker 1:I was like are they going to seduce you at the same time? Yes, I think that's what they're going to do. Who are the celebrities?
Speaker 2:I don't know that's the mystery of it, but I was like maybe this isn't the job for me, but I just blew the interview I would have wanted to try it for at least a week, just to see the celebrities.
Speaker 1:I didn't get a chance. I feel like or I just feel like, okay, I failed, I get it. I'm not going to get this. Who's the celebrities Spill the tea? Yeah, what are they?
Speaker 2:doing here.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, let's start a podcast and talk about this. It's all probably just tax fraud or whatever. So we cut to Seth Rogen Hell, yeah, he likes them so far. He thinks that they will be cool to hang out with. He likes the fact that they were tuxedos as like an ironic statement. Then Dale Farts a really long time.
Speaker 2:Seth Rogen's carriage is like did you fart? Oh man, it's those nervous farts too, I think yeah, that's a fart, I tasted my mouth. It tastes like undergreens and ketchup.
Speaker 1:Yeah and they failed the interview. They're walking home. They are thinking about what they can do. Dale thinks they can start an international entertainment company called Proceed Worldwide. They think this idea is why they met, why they're meant to be. It is their destiny. Dale gets scared about walking down a certain road. We learn Chris Gardauke gets in his face and he is super scared of him. Vernon doesn't want to go the long way, though he sees he's like fine, let's do it, you'll be sorry. We see Chris, and it's a bunch of kids. They start yelling at them and making fun of them.
Speaker 2:Then they make them eat white dog shit after they beat them up and when they just kick the shit out of these kids.
Speaker 1:I guess because they go to jail Correct and they put their heads under the sea salt and they just go up and down on them. And I remember reading or listening to an interview of them talking about the white dog poop.
Speaker 2:But because it's been sitting out in the Sun for a long time.
Speaker 1:It's like I know they have this stuff that you can put in dogs food so they don't eat their dog poop really, and it does turn it a whitish color. I think Gross thought is more yellow, anyways, that's our dog poop conversation Cut to them telling Nancy about getting beat up. They ask it for Robert's mad. Robert was very upset. He knows that y'all interviewed as a team and he heard about the fart. The fart heard around the world and they're also like just talking about them getting beat up.

Dell is Reading a Monty William and then goes back in, goes to bed at nine, which is essentially our lives. I mean, yeah, gotta get up at like 4 am In the fucking morning it sucks ass. Yeah, so Brennan goes to Randy Derek's right-hand man. He wants the Catalina wine mixer. He's like this special, I guess, mixer that just rich people go to to have a cat by helicopters?
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, I think is how. Catalina is an island.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's an island. Yeah, so Derek comes in, derek glass Adams. He says let's let him do it. Derek says if he fucks up I can fire him and if he succeed I look like a genius to the board. Derek is talking about how he makes his money. Randy is yelling pow a lot every time. He says oh, he tells him, he, he tells him not to mess with my nut. I have to sell at least 80 helicopters to make my nut and you, you mess with my nut. Brennan, randy here is gonna eat your dick, randy, like Kobayashi. Derek, I've seen him do it. You've actually seen him eating a man's penis it was an in an international waters.
Speaker 2:So they couldn't prosecute him. But I saw it, anything goes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Monkey knife fight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then we cut to the motherfucking Catalina wine mixer. Robert and Nancy bump into each other. Dell is catering the wine mixer. Dell and Brennan set that. Well, I guess Brennan set this up. Randy tells Brennan that he is nailing it. I don't know what it is about your face, but I want to put my, I want to put my piss through your suckhole. We see a 1980s Billy Joe cover band. Some random guy keeps wanting to play his earlier stuff. We're just 1980s. Nancy and Robert are hitting it off. Dell and Brennan talk a little bit around the family. They are acting all adult. Brennan says he started taking baby aspirin. They laugh uncomfortably. He keeps shaking his mom's hands, nancy really wants to hug her Robert.
Speaker 1:Mom, robert things. Brennan organized this whole thing to get them back together. Nancy starts to cry and then walks away. I got starts yelling at the Billy Joe band. The singer gets kicked off stage and Brennan is in trouble. Derek fires him. Dell and Robert come up to Brennan. Robert says I see two musicians, an empty stage. Brennan and Dell refused because they Don't do that anymore. Robert tells us a story when he was a kid.
Speaker 2:Robert, this is one of the tontosaur.
Speaker 1:When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a tontosaurus rex more than anything in the world. I made my arms short and I roamed the backyard. I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me. And one day my dad said Bobby, you are 17. It's time to throw childish things aside. And I said, okay, pop. But he didn't really say that. He said stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job.
Speaker 1:He lost his ability to be a dinosaur. He wants them to be themselves. Be your own dinosaur. Be your dinosaur, Weas. Dale gets up to perform, but Brennan is too scared and, trying to be sensible, the crowd turns on Dale. Derek starts singing. Dale has a manjina.
Speaker 1:Brennan gets up there with him and they fucking crush Hell yeah. And starts singing some opera. Dale sings boats and hoes Robert and Nancy. They kiss and start dancing with each other. Alice fantasizes about Dale being a centaur. Derek remembers a time when Brennan and Derek were friendly to each other like flying a kite. We see a vision of Brennan as a lumberjack and he breaks into the therapist's office. It's like she rips off her clothes.
Speaker 2:I've traveled hundreds of miles to give you my seed.
Speaker 1:Then Dale crushes the drums. Rock the fuck out of those drums, Dale. And then everybody, it's the fucking Catalina wine mixer. Yeah, it's awesome, Everybody's happy. Derek made his quota and apologizes to Brennan and they attempt to hug. But it's kind of like a hug fight and they just high-five at the end. It's like we don't know how to do it.
Speaker 2:We've never done it before. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Denise comes up, Brennan says he's her girlfriend or she's his girlfriend. She says she is not, and she is there because he said he was going to hurl himself into shark-infested water.
Speaker 1:It's like I was here for business. Nancy says she doesn't want to appear eager. I get it. I understand that she calls Nancy a neighbor. Denise says he was incredibly brave but with no sexual undertones whatsoever. And then at the end, because she does this whole long thing of trying to convince him, she is not into him, but really she's just trying to convince herself. But at the end Brennan goes what poem is that from? It's so beautiful, oh man, it's oblivious, it cracks me up, dude it's so funny.
Speaker 1:Del breaks up with Alice and she's really sad. They are calm at first, but then Alice freaks out oh my gosh, look. Oh well, she looks. He runs away. Six months later, derek is telling a story and Robert tells him to be quiet and ask Del and Brennan about their karaoke business. And it's a karaoke business to where, if you can't sing, sit down there's only people that can sing karaoke. It's kind of a good idea. Actually, I don't know you have all the bad people.
Speaker 1:Well, if you have a room with all the bad people singing, then it's like hell. Yeah, I'd sing that because we all sound terrible. And then if you have all the good singers, I don't have to be embarrassed when someone belts out some slendy on perfectly.
Speaker 2:Or when your spouse gets on stage and super intoxicated and doesn't remember the song that she asked the DJ to play and you end up backing her up because you know you're there. That sounds fun.
Speaker 1:I'm there and I had to. So Robert gives them their Christmas surprise. It's a boat treehouse. It rules.
Speaker 2:Is that his boat? Yeah, it's the boat that wrecked.
Speaker 1:They have pirate hats, hustlers and crossbows.
Speaker 2:Chewbacca masks, yeah, chewbacca masks.
Speaker 1:And there's a part where he's like I don't mind that mine's not movie quality. Denise says it's fucked up but then says Brennan can wear the shit out of a pirate hat.
Speaker 2:She's finally fallen for Brennan. It's great. It's so cute.
Speaker 1:And that's the end of the movie. But during the credits we cut to Chris Gardecchi. Dale, like he's like talking to his other kids, dale and Brennan land in a helicopter. He's like what's up? Digs. And then Brennan's like sticks and stones may break my bones, but I'm going to kick you repeatedly in the balls. They beat them all up and as they're walking away, cops will be here soon. We should probably get out of here. The film ends with them discussing whether or not Brennan touched Dale's drum set, and it's like I was like oh, I'm sorry that I accused you of that. Brennan's like oh, you don't have to apologize. Well, why wouldn't you just accept my apology if you just didn't touch my drum set? It's like I didn't touch it, okay.
Speaker 2:Oh funny. Then, like the after the credits scene, they're sleepwalking. It just doesn't get out of bed to sleepwalk again, and then it cuts off. What?
Speaker 1:I've never watched all the way through the credits. Are you serious?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just a little.
Speaker 1:Netflix cut it off.
Speaker 2:They're back in the parents' house, sleeping in the same room together.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have to watch that. I never knew that was there.
Speaker 2:Ah, masterpiece of a comedy.
Speaker 1:It's perfect. I love it If you don't get out of my house, but anyways. So we're going to go to our first category. It's called the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. It's where we discuss the good of the film, something we liked. The bad, something we didn't like. The ugly, something that didn't age well. The fine, something that did age well. I'll start the good. I said Will Ferrell, john C Riley and improv comedy.
Speaker 2:Improv comedy. Huh yeah, yes. And have you ever been to see actual improv? I've never.
Speaker 1:No, not yet. Well, I guess, kind of it was like a high school thing. It was really bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I imagine that most of it's bad. Yeah, but you watch stuff like who's lining is it anyway? And they're professionals. They're great, it must all be this good.
Speaker 1:If you saw people at like UCB or something like that, which is like the Chicago based standup people, that's where a lot of people have been on SNL and do all these movies Like Amy Poehler. All of them, Every one of them went through SNL, essentially went through. I think, the workaholics people may have done. No, they were in LA. I don't know, I don't know. So yeah, improv is comedy, love it. The bad if I don't really have anything, if I had to pick not enough Catherine Hawn just because she's so funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she is really funny. More Derek too.
Speaker 1:He's great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that would have been interesting if they were in it more, but I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's-.
Speaker 2:It probably would have been too much.
Speaker 1:Just because they're so crazy. It would have been like wait, there's a little too much crazy.
Speaker 2:They might just take over the scene.
Speaker 1:When it's like if you had the two stepbrothers, ann Allison, derek, had been like, oh my gosh, there's four crazy personalities in one thing that's too much. Yeah, so something that at Agewell is the language. It's about it.
Speaker 2:Sure, and this movie terrifies me in a way because I have kids and this is not out of the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1:This is a nightmare.
Speaker 2:It is a nightmare that I hope-.
Speaker 1:These are like things that make me not want kids at all.
Speaker 2:Not want my kids anymore. Sounds terrible.
Speaker 1:And the fine something that Agewell I said, catherine Hawn.
Speaker 2:John T Riley.
Speaker 1:Will Ferrell, especially those two doing a movie together. Catherine Hawn is always like just shooting threes constantly when she shows up in a movie.
Speaker 2:But yeah, anything for the fun.
Speaker 1:That's Richard Jenkins.
Speaker 2:Mary Sonberg.
Speaker 1:They're all great they all Agewell because they continue to do really good, prestigious stuff, those two. So next category is double feature. It's where we recommend a movie to go along with.
Speaker 2:stepbrothers Got anything I was trying to think of another movie that had brothers that I really liked but nothing was really hitting it.
Speaker 1:All I had was movies that were friends. They're two goofy friends, like I said, superbad and Talladega Nights oh man, those are good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Talladega Nights would be a good one.
Speaker 1:Just for a double dose of both of these guys, it's just insane, yeah, talladega Nights. I love Talladega Nights too and that's like a close second to stepbrothers for me Very close second.
Speaker 2:I'll kiss my pants.
Speaker 1:And don't you put that bat juju on me, Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 2:He just takes his wife and kids over as his own oh dear baby Jesus.
Speaker 1:I imagine my Jesus. He's wearing a tuxedo t-shirt. He says I'm serious, but I also like to party.
Speaker 2:I had a bus driver in elementary school who would wear a tuxedo t-shirt. I think it was the funniest fucking thing in the world.
Speaker 1:That's also Okay. Well, that's the episode. Make sure you join us. Next week We'll be covering the Shane Black action. Buddy cop comedy, the Nice Guys, the.
