On this week’s mini episode, we try to get things back on track after last week’s comedy-allergic film. We also talk a lot about feet and Skinner coins several of the grossest phrases Josh has ever heard.
Our biggest fear is realized as we finish up our discussion on 2016’s based-on-a-true-story-depressing-as-hell Cruel Summer. And since there’s not much to really talk about and this film is comedy poison, we decide to talk about our own cruel summers and take a walk down memory lane.
Summer of Summer rolls on with 2016’s Cruel Summer, a movie that has some really problematic content right up front and sets the stage for an incredibly tough movie-watching experience. We also discuss the tragic origins of Old Man Wax Face and his royal family statues.
Predict-O-Cast Jr is back! This time around, Holly and Skinner discuss the very strange and very French Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. Holly is terrified and Skinner can’t stop insisting the moon is evil.
Our Summer of Summer rolls on, with this new mini episode where we reveal the next film we’re discussing and then set up an epic battle between two classic pop bands.
If the first ten minutes of Breaking Loose: Summer City 2 set us up for something crazy, the rest of the movie doesn’t let us down. We get Viking funerals, surfboard cocaine, domestic drama, deciding whether or not to sleep with your mom’s friend, surfing and an insane beach battle. Plus a man laughing uproariously at a skeleton cartoon. It’s a summer extravaganza.
Summer of Summer continues with us back down under, for the Summer City sequel, Breaking Loose. In the first ten minutes, we get an awesomely 80’s “gettin’ ready” montage, a bunch of middle-aged leather punks with a weird sense of honor, a drag race and an explosion. Looks like this summer is getting back on track.
Happy Independence Day, America! Also, you’re on notice for being really terrible lately. As a way to better understand American history and the significance of July 4th, we watched the absolutely-drowning-in-dog-puns children’s educational short Pups of Liberty: The Dog-claration of Independence. We spend most of our time discussing puns and then try to figure out how to dogify other American political scandals/travesties.
We roll along with The Summer of Summer, preparing ourselves to watch the sequel to a movie we’ve also never seen.
