We take a trip back to the early 2000’s and talk about the cheeriest non-Christmas movie ever. The boys talk cheers, jeers and Tears for Fears, ok maybe not that last part but if you got a problem with it, Bring It On!

This week Ryan decided to get comical and he went with the newest Hollywood genre in 2009, the “Brom-Com” Paul Rudd and Jason Segel play out the real life scenario of trying to make friends in your 30’s and 40’s, one of the most terrifying things a person will endure. Are we sure this isn’t a post-modern horror?…

Buckle up and strap in, the boys get a bit in depth in the discussion on the 2024 horror/nostalgia flick as you can see by the length. If you like classic film analysis with multiple interpretations, then this is the ‘sode for you!
