Gutting the Sacred Cow

Quentin Tarantino happens to be a favorite director of this podcast but @jamesgavsie could care less. He decided to take a flamethrower to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood like Leo DiCaprio did to that girl in the Manson cult. But is James able to persuade @KevinGootee and @KevinIsarel_NJ that this film is worse than feet on a dashboard. Or does K2 throw a can of dog food in the face of this argument...

Anthony Cumia of Opie and Anthony fame as well as host of the Cumia show (@compoundmedia and @thecumiashow) join @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael on this week's episode. Anthony's choice for this episode, Face Off, and boy does he abhor this film. Anthony tells a hilarious story about Jim Norton destroying Patrice O'Neal on the old O&A show for liking this film as well as breaks into...

A FIRST for Gutting the Sacred Cow podcast, we've brought back @BillSchulz from @morninbillandjo on @compoundmedia! Bill's first attempt with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was solid but does he punch this alien movie right in the face while yelling, "Welcome to Earth?" Or does ID4 fanboy @KevinIsrael_NJ fly a fighter jet right into the mothership? @KevinGootee enjoys the firew...

Philadelphia was a film that opened the world's eyes to AIDS and how it affected lives and careers. But @LandauDave (Compound Media and Comedy Central) points out that this film has more lesions than Tom Hanks did on his chest in the courtroom. @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ put on their best sailor outfits as Dave attempts to convince them that this movie is just an overrated attempt of bro...

Standup comedian/podcaster @JLCauvin (Howard Stern show) and "Donald Trump" assemble with @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ and JL has 2001: A Space Odyssey in his crosshairs. JL cannot stomach Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi critical darling but can he convince Kevin and Kevin that this film is worse than a blank screen for 3 minutes? Or does JL's argument get blown up like the Challenger...

@matchity (Adam Carolla podcast, Rotten Tomatoes, Moviefone) convenes with @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ to explain how the Usual Suspect cheats the audience with the ending. Forgot who is Keyser Soze, (this was the slug line when the movie came out) do KG and KI flip Matt's argument? Flip you for real. Can you hear me in the back? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Questions, advice, recommendation...

Chris Maynard from @Following_Films comes on to slay the baby boomer untouchable, Forrest Gump. That's right, the film that won best picture, best actor, and caused millions of people shoehorn, "life is like a box of chocolates," into many a conversations that then went south. The question is, do @Kevin Gootee and @Kevin Israel_NJ feel his arguments fall under "stupid is as stupid...

@Seth_Everett (Hall of Justice podcast with Kevin Smith and Sports with Friends podcast) joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ because he has a MAJOR problem with 2019's runaway success, Joker. He even goes on the record and says that this film is worse than Suicide Squad. You know, the film that is mocked more than "The Room?" But does he convince Kevin and Kevin that this film is mo...

@StonerJesus420 (Joe Klare) joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ to eviscerate TAXI DRIVER, the film that birthed thousands of s----y Robert DeNiro impressions. Joe HATES Travis Bickle like the governor of Georgia hates common sense. But do Kevin and Kevin (better than Celino and Barnes) find this film stinkier than a NYC cab in August? Give us a follow on our social media and check out the webs...

Hey there you cool cats and kittens! Had enough virtual happy hours yet? Gin and vodka sales through the roof so might as well fill up a highball and listen to @Delvin_Cox try to take down the aesthetically pleasing; yet light on plot mega-hit, Avatar. @Kevin Gootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ will be your judge, jury, and executioner. Does Zoe Saldana in blue make a few body parts turn blue? Wait, that m...

David the Producer (@BehindtheRant) is going to trigger a TON of 80's babies as he takes down the Goonies. Data, Chunk, Mouth, and Mikey...no one is safe from David's warpath. But do fellow 80's kids @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael_NJ get aboard the "I Hate One Eyed Wille" pirate ship? Or is David's argument as awful as Sloth's speech and face? And good news, we're no...

Ray Gootz (Gootz's Disney Pod and Comics Watching Comics) joins the boys to share his displeasure for one of the most influential films of the 90's, Jurassic Park. Ray eviscerates this film like a Raptor, T-Rex, and the tiger that got a hold of Carole Baskins husband (allegedly). Kevin Israel is a STAUNCH JP supporter and Kevin Gootee is a somewhat fan as well. Can Gootz sway both Kevins t...

Hope you're not going all Jack Nicholson from the Shining being stuck in quarantine. So let's lighten your load for all the free time you have on your hands. Keren Margolis despises Titanic and wished Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet sunk on that ship with every single copy of that film. But can she convince Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel that this film should go away like Billy Zane'...

Sick of Corona talk? Sick of quarantine with people you don't even like? Sick of people asking if you're sick of something? MORNIN' show (Compound Media) hostess, Joanne Nosuchinsky (@JoNosuchinsky) joins Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel and she makes KG break his Cal Ripken Jr streak of not watching the movie, Grease. Joanne is NOT a fan of the film; despite being a theater graduate and...

Ron Barba (Comics Watching Comics on Amazon Video, King of the List, and Thank You For Coming) joins Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel and sets his sights on a cult favorite, The Big Lebowski. Ron hates the Dude more than he hates the overused F word. And don't get him started on how and why Steve Buscemi is famous. Does he gut the sacred cow well enough to have KG and KI want to throw White Russi...

Jude Angelini (Author of Hyena and Hummingbird as well as host of All Out on Shade 45 on Sirius XM) joins K squared to convince them that Birdman (best picture winner 2014) that it's overrated and NO ONE talks like they do in real life. Jude also shares a tale of how he worked as a bathroom attendant in a gay bar that's nothing short of sheer hilarity. If that doesn't make you want to...

We're back and with a flourish. @JohnFugelsang (Sirius XM, VH1, Coyote Ugly) targeted one of America's most treasured classics: Gone With the Wind. That's right, the HIGHEST grossing film of all time (adjusted for inflation) is the one John chose to make @Kevin Gootee and @Kevin Israel sit through nearly FOUR HOURS of Scarlett O'Hara act like a whiny b--ch. Do Kevin and Kevin frank...

What is the favorite film of most women? Pretty Woman. You know who hates Pretty Woman? @Gerard Haran LOATHES it. We bet every guy who had to sit through this rom-com in hopes of some romantic encounter from their lady friend will DEFINITELY want to listen to this. Can he convince @Kevin Gootee and @Kevin Israel that this fairy tale dAnd ladies, if you're ready to have you favorite adult Cinde...

We believe that this episode is definitely going to strike a nerve. @MarkRiccadonna joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael to throw a fan favorite film into the wood chipper and that film...the Hangover. This ranks as a lot of people's FAVORITE comedy; especially in the last 10 years. Does Mark nail this argument like Mike Tyson nailed Ed Helms with a right cross? Or is his argument small and ins...

Linette Palladino (Comics Watching Comics on Amazon Video and featured in the NY Times) is a badass lady. She's a comedian, mom, and a captain in the US Army. However, she chose a film that's near and dear to both Kevins' hearts...Pulp Fiction. That's right, she does not enjoy the tale of Vince, Jules, and the Gimp. She may have survived several tours of duty in the Middle East but...

Jay Sandlin (Author of Over the Ropes) wishes Tom Hanks would've stayed marooned on that island in the film, Cast Away. He convenes with @KevinGootee and @kevinisrael_nj to pitch his case that this tale of survival starring Hanks, Hunt, and Wilson is INSANELY overrated. Can @JaySandlin_WHN convinces Kevin times 2 that this film should've went down in a plane crash? Or is this argument to b...

Comedian Joe Fernandes (Hard Rock Casino) visits Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel to discuss why he loathes The Sixth Sense. The 3 of them also discuss what boy child stars grew up to look like heinous train wrecks. Does Joe convince K&K that this film is nothing besides the twist at the end? Or is his argument worse than any other M Night Shaymalanadingdong films? guttinghthesacredcow.com @GTSCp...

This episode starts off differently than most as Kevin Gootee, Kevin Israel, and Mo Vida discuss their feet. Why? Because Mo put up a picture of her feet on IG and had several people put in cash offers for feet photos. After that hullaballoo, Mo Vida attempts to sway Kevin and Kevin that Stallone sucks in everything he does and that Rocky is no exception. Does Mo walk out of there with the title b...

Jim Mendrinos (Comics Watching Comics season 4 panelist and Living in Exile, both on Amazon Video) loved The Rise of Skywalker but HATED Inception. Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel disliked the newest Star Wars film and they put themselves on a 5 minute clock (they slightly go over) to discuss it. Do they believe if Jim's argument of why Inception sucks is a dream within a dream? If you like, ple...

One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed films of American history is targeted by standup comic (Killed You Last podcast) Peter Guarraci. Peter finds GF2 to be highly overrated but can he convince Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel that this film is just a Fredo? Please follow Gutting the sacred cow on all your social media (FB, IG, Tumblr, Twitter) and lastly, tell a friend who enjoys spirited...
