Back in the late 80s, Clint Eastwood directed a movie about jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. It starred Forest Whitaker and currently stands at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, this must be a good movie, right? Well, the boys take a look.

Show Notes It's here at last. Our 300th episode! And what could be a better way to celebrate it than looking at a movie that is over 80 years old? Would the movie 300 been a better idea? Probably, but we didn't think of that.

The last couple of Presidential elections puts a lie to this title. Lately, Americans love putting old men in the White House. But that's another story. This story is about a guy who steals drug money which ignites all kinds of hell. Join the boys as... more

It's a stoner movie which means the actors pretend to be smoking the devil's lettuce to the amusement of filmgoers. The question here is, were Joe and George amused? Starring Method Man and Redman.

  • Sophomoric & juvenile

    Did my best. Got 30 min into a show. All they did was tell all the action in the movie, in uninteresting detail. They didn’t understand any of the nuances of the movie. Meanings went right over their heads. They just made fun of things without grasping what was really going on. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and turned it off.

    Great hosts with a fantastic sense of humor.

Bonus that Joe does a bit of a history ... more

  • Unbalanced, but still kinda fair

    I was turned on to this podcast because a few of my other favorite podcasters have been on as guests. I listened to their shows and chuckled a bit, and the listened to a few more due to auto play and being out of other podcasts. Not going to lie…very fair to middling podcast. While it doesn’t follow the “two white guys yammering” stereotype, it’s not far off. As far as I can tell neither host has any qualification to talk about film, and seem, quite often to miss the point. This is especially tr... more
