Quasi – A Fatty Deposit of a Movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Hulu original, Quasi is the Broken Lizard gang's attempt to tackle historical fiction. They do so to decidedly mixed results. Loosely based on Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Quasi's satirical take on 19th Century France lacks the punch of the troupe's other films. It's not devoid of laughs, by any means, but its not overflowing with them either. Now, sit back, toast to the coronation with a Framboise from Lindemans, and crank that rack! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla
Beerfest – Prost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beerfest is magical! We wish it were winter, so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it! Then we could melt it in the spring time and watch it again! Now, sit back, test your monkey chug with an Oktoberfest from BrewDog, and finish your beer asshole! The Thunderous Wizard and Bling Blake are about to play some high-stakes ping-pong in Ding Dang! This Week’s Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Bring on the beer! They've got the nuts! Lingering Questions – Which country would be the
The Slammin' Salmon – Check Please (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perhaps the least well known of Broken Lizard's films, The Slammin' Salmon was a bad cut of fish for critics and the box office. Focusing on a ragtag waitstaff, their hopeless manager, and insane restaurant owner, the film mirrors many of the workplace comedies of the era. It's not really breaking any new ground. Despite that, it does have some solid laughs, and the troupe remains a good hang. Couple that with an outstanding supporting performance from Michael Clarke Duncan, as the man whose nam
Mortal Kombat II – Finish Him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mortal Kombat II ups the ante in every conceivable way over its 2021 predecessor (covered on this pod). It's bigger, bloodier, far more ambitious, and—this really seals the deal—it actually features the titular tournament. Released at the tail-end of Covid, Mortal Kombat dropped both in theaters and HBO Max on the same day. Earning a strong $84.4 million and konquering the streaming charts made this sequel a no-brainer. Sadly, despite WB's optimism and better reviews, Mortal Kombat II could only
Grandma's Boy – Don't Judge Us, Monkey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ignored when it was released, Grandma's Boy became one of the quintessential stoner comedies of the 2000s. For good reason, it's very funny, doesn't take itself at all seriously, and features some top-tier performances from up and coming actors — including Nick Swardson and Joel David Moore. Listen, this isn't high art. Grandma's Boy is a stupid movie where a pothead teaches a chimpanzee karate, Jonah Hill's character sucks on a boob for 13 hours straight, and an old lady boasts about giving Cha
