Episode Notes Look at that, its a family friendly comedy based on a novel that is generally well done. Sorry this is late. I think we might have lost our minds! (Note from Alex: I did not add in the part that says the rating, time or genre to the title. What weird AI shit are they doing to me? I will find them and destroy them.)

Episode Notes Home Team WE ARE BACK! and... It's a bad movie with Kevin James. Weird right wing propaganda about how to be a bad dad. Also a pretty bad football coach. Really not good tbh. don't know what else to say. This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes The SEQUEL to Happy Gilmore, and the Spiritual successor of The Waterboy, and the alternate reality of The Canteen boy mix to make a pretty decent movie. Back to the strong-man motif found in early Sandler and making a hero from a possible villian. Look at this photo! What?!?! https://twitter.com/LaughAtHimPod/status/1313993803624218624?s=20 Also, we are rusty. It's a 3 Star Sandlaye...

Also, this ain't the last of us! We went 60 for 60 but get...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Murder Mystery and it is a generally good time, with a whole bunch of murder mystery references, some mentions of the upper class being garbage, and finally cops sucking at their jobs. It kinda hits the spot. Also, shrimp are all evil and made of poison. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @kittyCrusade This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Uncut Gems and discuss the film as a way to evoke emotion rather than show a plot, how Akira, Star Wars, Steinbeck, Jewish Lore, Gemology, Greek Mythology all touch to make you feel anxious, and also how you can not commit crimes in Minecraft. Also, is this destiny? Or is Howard in a time loop? We don't talk about it inside. But we did in another loop. @LaughatH...

Episode Notes Jess and Alex watch the 3rd Hotel Transylvania movie and discuss the portrayal of nazis as villains, why de-radicalization of the alt-right is a good thing (but this movie was iffy on it), and how much this movie is taken out of the Happy Madison hands. Also, Jess and Alex argue over the practicality of a soup filled bread-stick for most of the episode. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @jawska A...

Episode Notes Jess and Alex watch Father of the Year and discuss the impact of ennui on the young person without a clear path, the small town to military career pipeline, and how class changes people even if they are best friends. Also, whats up with the skeleton of that mail man huh? @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch The Week Of and talk about the very direct message of differences in culture between classes, how music (and the perception of music) are seen by different people, and a very direct relation of calling trump a corrupt piece of garbage. Also, Alex has a lot of thoughts about Billy Joel but almost no answers. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This p...

Episode Notes Jess @ Alex invite Mike Klamerus to watch The Meyerowitz Stories and discuss the actual great artistic appeal of the movie, the icky feeling of involving your children in your art, and finally TTRPGs and their intersection with this game specifically. Also, why they never let Adam Sandler finish his sent @LaughatHimPod Michael Klamerus- @MichaelKlamerus Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrus...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Sandy Wexler and talk about the frustration of not being let into an inside joke, argue about if there was no chemistry or it was simply an allegory for success, and finally that maybe there is a reason for lying so much but probably Alex just loves to lie. Also, Happy Madison is the Fast & Furious of comedy. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex Watch The Do Over and talk about the very solid little detective thriller that they came up with, the incredible blatant anti big pharma message they push forward, and if and how this movie pushes misogynistic or homophobic viewpoints. Also, I feel like Jenga was metaphor for something and I just didn't get it. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This pod...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Ridiculous 6 and discuss the nature of satire in film and why it leaves itself open for criticism, the strong foundation of found family and why it matters, and how capitalism in America is inherently racist. Also, baseball is a pretty dumb sport huh? @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Hotel Transylvania 2 and discuss the corporation of marginalized communities, a very interesting script hidden in the annuls of time, and finally what conservative parenting looks like throughout different generations. Also, Sony CANCELED Quinston because he was too close to home. Big Cinema Doesn't Want You To See Quinston. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @K...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser and discuss how they were totally right about the first movie being a Wizard of Oz parable, then they talk about how this is a horrible fever dream of a of a movie, and how sometimes they just word for word repeat a joke from the first movie. Also, Joe Dirt is either dead, a quantum traveler, or the writers didn't care that much. @Lau...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Pixels and there is a lot of anger at known cheater Billy Mitchell, a script that could have been super good, and Kevin James is George Bush in this movie. Also, a potential plot hole about Guam is still being hotly debated in the back channel. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and god damn it sucks so so bad. We play a game called "was it in the original script", we read Sony exec emails that sum up to "this" movie sucks, and then talk about the weird religious bent in the making and scripting of this movie. Also, Alex has gone full Blart and thinks that "chicken chow lane" is a reference to "Yippee Ki Yay". Is...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch The Cobbler and slowly dislike it more and more as they discuss the movie, they talk about magical realism vs (kinda death of the author but not really), if this is a super hero movie, and how the themes fall flat and the general script writing fails to bring forward it's promise. Also, this would have been a very good 3rd movie in the Glass universe. @LaughatHi...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Blended and discuss the lack of notice of colonialism, how this is a reflection of The Wedding Singer, and how raising kids in a single parent household is difficult but you really don't need to get remarried just because of that. Also, why is that one kid not in gymnastics class? Fuck baseball. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This podcast is po...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Grown Ups 2 and fuck it. At this point it's either critics are all collectively wrong, or we have lost out minds. We also talk about cronyism and capitalism, how comedy has changed since the 80's, and how this movie was downright funny. Also, The Spin Doctors- Two Princes reference in this movie is the single greatest pun I've ever seen. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Ja...

Episode Notes Jess & Alex watch Here Comes the Boom and discuss the very thinly veiled christian message, how the message is actually fairly decent in this movie (but misses the correct fix), and how schools that have systematic issues tend to hurt marginalized students. Also, Kevin James and Joe Rogen were roommates apparently. @LaughatHimPod Jess- @Jawska Alex- @KittyCrusade This podcast is...
