Adventures in Whiteness: The Movie

Thank god the aughts are over and so is this genre of movie.

To end the year, Kyle and Jourdain analyzed the religious implications of 2008's Fireproof and the misogyny of Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick brothers. Our suggestion for counter-programming is Chyna Robinson's No Ordinary Love . You can read about it here: https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2019/10/28/no-ordinary-love-explores-power-authority-and-domestic-abuse-at-its-orlando-film-festiv...

We hope the Italian Canadian community is pleased with our assessment of this, their greatest export.

Too many white people were involved in making this.

A long time ago (2003), when literally anything could be released in theaters, an uninspired director gathered three of the most interesting and funny young actors of the 90s and early 2000s (Jason Lee, Julia Stiles, Selma Blair) and gave them the most boring script imaginable. Everyone's time was wasted and the modern romcom began its descent into death.

Adults went to the movie theater and watched this movie. They paid money. They went to the theater, paid money and watched this movie. This, we will never understand.

This month on The Pineapple Incident we thought it would be fun to put an episode on the main feed so you can share in the misery that is recapping How I Met Your Mother. In this episode we dissect season 2, which is an improvement on season 1, but not by much.

It's Threesome meets American Gigolo ! The world apparently needed that? For some reason? Anyway, Billy Baldwin is the best Baldwin.

Justice for the late, great Gilda Radner!!!

Here it is, the scariest film of the decade. The Test is a masterclass of terror, with a romance so unsettling that it may put you off men who wear yellow ties forever.

We really, really wanted to like it.

Live from the She Makes Me Laugh Comedy Festival at The People's Improv Theater, we dragged 2009's All About Steve , a movie which suggests that pre-Jackson Maine Bradley Cooper is worth looking at.

The remake of There's Something About Mary absolutely no one asked for.

This movie is only 4 minutes shorter than The Master.

We didn't think we'd be covering a film with an Oscar-worthy performance on this podcast either. The D Train is bad, don't worry about it. But it's badness should be studied. We need to get to the bottom of this.

This week on the podcast, we tried our best to stay interested in the mumblecore dud The Feels , a movie that only pretends to care about the female orgasm.

David O. Russell never wanted this film to be released. We totally understand why.

Masterpiece.

For our 100th episode, we subjected the hilarious Milly Tamarez (@MillyTamarez) to 2001's Shallow Hal , a movie that expects us to believe that Tony Robbins could ever be a feminist.

We lost our minds watching 1994's It's Pat and this recording was done in our padded cell.

This month we are joined by comedian Melissa Rocha (@melisshious) for a very special public episode of our erotic thriller podcast IN THE SM(U)T. Our movie this month is 1993's Body of Evidence , a dreary thriller that tries too hard to be sexy and wastes the very well-endowed Willem Dafoe in one of his worst roles. Madonna is there also, for some reason. The costume designer obviously hated her....

This week we had hilarious comedian SallyAnn Hall on to tackle the gigantic mess that is 2009's The Ugly Truth . follow @funnysallyann on twitter!

1992's Love Potion No. 9 is a bad movie that was built to be loved. It introduced the world to Sandra Bullock's charms. It also asked us to tolerate Tate Donovan, and we begrudgingly obliged.

Who in their right mind wouldn't marry Christina Ricci?
