Does This Still Work?

Guess which word Joe almost never uses but George could not, could not get enough of? Hey, everybody, we take a look at Blazing Saddles. A comedy that has in no way gotten more controversial than when it opened over 40 years ago. Enjoy the landmines!

Do you believe in magic? The boys run through the mystic nights and find Big Trouble In Little China. But do they also find racism? Plus, Scott Bakula gets Gung Ho. George discusses becoming accidentally Asian and Joe can't figure out what the hell is happening. References for the show notes: "ASIANS DIVIDED OVER 'BIG TROUBLE'." Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Times, 11 July 1986, www.latimes.com/a...

And wasn't she easy? Isn't she pretty in pink? George sure thinks so! Yes, the boys take a look at the 80s classic, Pretty In Pink. Plus, Joe asks questions of a dead man. The guys give advice, wonder about James Spader, and ask what's with all the smoking?

They're playing basketball. We love that basketball but do we love this movie? Joe and George are joined by Comedian Jay Nog as they take a look at 1992's White Men Can't Jump. Plus, past riots! Betty White said what? Yo Mama Jokes! And guys solve problems, damnit! Jay Nog: Twitter: @jaynog Making Podcasts Great Again @trumppod For NYers, does a drive-in standup show at the Bel-Air Diner in Astori...

You better think (think). Think about what you're trying to do to me. Yeah think (think, think) Let your mind go, let yourself be free because how else can you enjoy The Blues Brothers? Yes, we drive our cars into the air and take a look at this 1980s Classic film. Joining us on our trip (and what trip it is!) is comedian and runner of Lisa's Clubhouse, Lisa Harmon. How about some car talk? Happy...

This is not what doves sound like when doves cry but Joe does yell that he is Alex Trebek so that's a cry of sorts. So while there are not doves we are still in The Birdcage. And joining us there to discuss this Robin Williams film is Marissa McCool and Murphie McCool both from "But I heard About It" podcast. Meanwhile, arguing over a quiz. What is the deal with that guy's age? What kind of relati...

You got to fight, fight, fight for Fight Club! Comedian Darin Patterson joins us as we look at this Brad Pitt classic. Darrin gets right to the ass kissing. So he is the greatest guest ever! George brings up something he can't answer. Some bitching about the excellent quiz work. Meanwhile, hear where Joe went to get laid! Plus, is this a way to get a comedy room in a bar? Also, we recommend who to...

Sir, in our hearts we know we are funny and we are joined by comedian Rebecca T. Kaplan to sort of prove it. Or not. Meanwhile, return of red M&Ms. The 84 million dollar man. Christ in urine looks good,honest. George defends the honor of Greeks and Vietnamese women. Return of Robin's black voice (and gay voice). Montages-A-Go-Go! From one to homophobia. Did Joe call a Vietnamese man Chinese?! And...

This is NOT what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass. Make yourself a White Russian because it's 1998 and it's The Big Lebowski, everybody! Let's butcher a man's name! How high The Bob Denver? How dumb the Dude? Let's talk about the Korean conflict! Some kind of brown. Another pedo!? Rev. Romaka? Don't erase Jodie Foster. We discuss how George makes babies again. Meanwhile, who is that the...

Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations. Causing grief in human relations. It's a turf war on a global scale. I'd rather hear both sides of the tale. See, it's not about races. Just places, faces and… Boyz N The Hood! Joe and George return with their take on this 1991 classic. Plus, fresh from the stir hairstyle. Moe Larry and Curly on Rodney. Check out that Biden quote! An usual story not repres...

Do you like us now that we can dance? We can mash Potato. We can do the Twist. Tell us, baby, do you like it like this? And speaking of Baby, what are your feelings on Dirty Dancing? Because that's this week's episode and joining us to drive you crazy is the fabulously funny comedian and Vox Celeste podcast host Celeste Jennings. Meanwhile, abortion jokes? That jerk, Liberace and did Prince swing...

Let's talk about sex! Let's talk about you and me. Well us and this film, anyway. Comedian DB Frick joins us to discuss Woody Allen's most endearing and heart warming film (Joke! This film is totally not that). Also, Masters and Johnson get sued. We define Woody Allen's alleged crimes, because why not? Meanwhile, Joe doesn't get the Woolite joke and somebody mixes up his Jews. Twice. Explore the d...

We hear she wore blue velvet but in our hearts there'll always be this movie. Don't put the disease in us but check out the Apple Collection. How about some Mad Cow? Richard Gere and the Gerbil. Twin Peaks or Sex in The City? Whose bigger? That's no Heineken commercial, is it? More fucks per minute than your average, brand name movies. By the way, baby wants to fuck.

We say, sit on down, open your eyes and open up your ears. Put the boogie in your butt as we look at one of Eddie Murphy's most successful films. Plus, a true life African student's horrible encounter. A not so secret history of soap operas. What's with the dojo? No Jheri curls in the military? Can a guy not know how to mop really prepare a meal? All of that and more in this week's episode.

Only the good die young. That's what we said. Only the good die young. And that's the upside to coronavirus. Most Republicans are not good nor young. Moving on, starting out in gibberish and moving to English? Where do ghosts notes come from? Why would ghosts ask children for assistance? Are there bulletin boards for the dead? Did that ghost peak in Elementary school? So what is more terrifying? N...

Back in the saddle again, out where a friend is Kevin Costner. Enjoy a little aborigine history (Native American history month is when!?) as we take a look at Dances with Wolves. Meanwhile, what's a No Man's Land? Was that Murphy Brown's painter? Two different versions of this 3 hour film? How many blows to the head before brain damage sets in? Why doesn't Cynthia Ann Parker have her own film? And...

It had to be Annie Hall. It had to be Annie Hall. We wandered around and finally found Annie Hall. But what about Son of Sam? And that awful Phyllis Schlafly! One thing is for sure that the reference to WEB Dubois was a joke. Speaking of jokes, what joke did Alvy have for that black guy? Do actors use fake lips to gay kiss (no.). Plus, group victim blaming. Plus, don't say that about Rob. By the w...

It's all death, death, death and JC Penney on this episode of Does This Still Work as we drive off a cliff and crash down into the world of Harold and Maude. (Which we may have multiversed). Besides that, we most definitely brought in the cops. The real question is, life affirming, or misogynist nonsense, or both? 

Let's talk about balls err..., we mean, let's talk about face masks. No, let's talk about Waiting To Exhale the film that made a meme out of Angela Bassett! Yes, we are in 1995 and the Million Man March is on but in the theaters some black ladies are dating. And who is more qualified to discuss the dating life of black women than George and Joe? Meanwhile, do you miss the racism? Can you really sl...

On this episode we welcome comedian, podcastor and exceptionally tall human, JL Cauvin from Making Podcasts Great Again to the program as we explore the year 1989 and the movie, Dead Poets Society. Plus, the childhood joys of bathing in Dawn dishwashing soap. Cheating law enforcement. Why people in dramas can't stop laughing at Robin Williams? How is that romance remotely okay? Very on brand Bill...

Lift every voice and sing, we have our first ever guest! From the Queersplaining podcast it's our friend (and editor) Callie Wright. Plus, the two best riots of 1989. Is the opening too long? What's the deal with Spike and his sister? Is that the hill to die on? Public Enemy as street preacher? And is it ever too hot to fuck? How does one say Pizzaria? And don't drink Smirnoff Ice in the desert. ...

There is no 94 like 1994. And there is no movie like Shawshank Redemption, except for the part that reminds us of MASH. Anyway, don't do a sitcom with a comedian and don't talk to your warden without your lawyer. Word to the wise.

We can see into the future and because of that we know you will love this episode. It's 1983 and Christopher Walken is starring in a story from the mind of Stephen King. So put away your crystal ball, get off the ice before it breaks and join as we butcher Edgar Allen Poe, cast shade on Isaac Asimov and enter our own personal dead zone's all the while asking: Does This Still Work?

It's Batman villains galore in the Best Picture of 1975. And it is 1975, too bad love won't keep us together. Also likely not kept together was Jimmy Hoffa's corpse. But we must ask, do your meds and booze mix? Why would kids like sedatives? And what's with making the hero a pedo? But what's a comedy drama without the comedy? Meanwhile, don't forget Taxi.
