 Welcome to the Adam does movies podcast. I'm Adam and today's topic is gonna be on comedies, baby I've really talked about a much so I thought you know what? Why don't we spend 20 minutes or so just diving in just get in our feet wet and see what comes out underneath? I don't really know if that metaphor works, but it doesn't matter you know with all the sad things in the world with Working two or three jobs trying to raise a family trying to get through college or high school or whatever We're missing something that used to be a lot more prominent, and that's the comedy That's the movie that would come out what seemed like every week or two That would make you laugh whether it's a rom-com not my biggest thing But still they put effort in or a parody film which are completely dead at this point or a dark comedy or an Animated comedy. There's so many different options out there or at least there were that seemed to be gone Completely from the world. So yeah, I wanted to spend you know a little time just kind of going over. I put together a list It's not like a best of by any means It was really just breaking it down by some genres and then just kind of seeing what came to mind Since this podcast is supposed to be mostly impromptu It's supposed to be my thoughts on the fly just having a chat with you one-on-one It can get sloppy. I can trip over my words. I can trip over my own thoughts, but for the most part You know, we try to keep it honest. We try to keep it. We try to keep it, but buttoned up as best as possible All right, let's start with the first one and this is one that's near and dear to my heart, which is Like I said completely died out. That's the parody These are movies that well it's a genre that some people probably don't even know exist if you're under the age of 25 you may not even know what a parody movie is they're films like the naked gun or Monty Python or hot shots or high school high or Scary movie spy hard wrongfully accused These are mostly movies was Leslie Nielsen to be honest He was he was living good off of those films and for a good reason Leslie Nielsen was the king of deadpan humor There were a couple like him But he was he was a freaking legend in the industry. I Love naked gun all three of them. It's a little awkward scene O. J. Simpson as one of the lead characters, but Separate separate the art from the artist or whatever you want to call him These are really Funny ass movies and the entire point of a parody which I was going to explain for people that were younger is they would Traditionally play off a lot of different movie tropes and even pick out scenes from popular films and Recreate them in the dumbest way imaginable The budgets were usually pretty small But they did a lot with what they had to work with and the cheapness is kind of what made it funny as well Because they don't have these big blockbuster effects. They're doing it in a silly campy way Really witty dialogue in films like naked gun and hot shots specifically even hot shots part due a There's three hot there. I'm there's three naked gun films. I think I said hot shots twice. I apologize There's three naked gun films naked gun naked gun. I think two and a half and then 33 and a third I might have the numbers wrong. They're completely ludicrous and then there's only two hot shots movies All five of these though are just complete gold High school high came out years later with John Lovitz Pretty damn funny movie as well. It was kind of making fun of gangsters paradise. Oh, no, that's not the name That's the song. What was that movie called dangerous minds which featured gangsters parrot gangsters paradise Gangsta it's not gangster again. It's it's it's tough. It's tough to to stay on task when it's just a one-man army here These are movies that are near and dear to my heart though I watched naked gun a stupid amount of times in immensely quotable film Before I forget since I don't have this as one of my numbered items I do want to shout out emperor's new groove on the comedy side of things There's not a lot of animated films that I think are freaking hilarious But embers new groove is there's definitely animated movies that are funny a lot of Disney movies have good humor in them But I think embers new groove from beginning to end. It's like watching Tommy boy It's just this road trip adventure with David spade and John Goodman. David spade is a llama Goodman is this peasant. He's got to Take the king across the country to get back to his castle so that once he's there he can destroy John Goodman's property and put out a pool and along the way, of course They will learn to see eye-to-eye and become friends and it's a whole thing, but it's a great thing I love embers new groove quick aside back to naked gun back to the parody films. I like these because you know What I would say is most relevant today is Family guy love it or hate family guy It really championed that parody style and made it its own So in every family guy episode, there's a bunch of callbacks to other movies pop culture references They do these cutaway jokes, which sometimes work sometimes don't the nice thing about family guy that really mirrors some of these old school parody flicks is If a joke doesn't land there is another one right around the corner and on occasion some of those older family guys and They would hit so many times in a row you'd end up missing jokes because you'd be laughing so hard So upon repeat you get a few more in the in the chest. That's what happened with naked gun for me Every time I'd watch it I'd find a couple more things whether it's a background scene a guy like on fire that I didn't notice before Or something being said under someone's breath. There were just so many little elements that really made the humor stand out and That's that's parodies in general now the parody died out Because of the jackasses that made the scary movie one of them and and I'm gonna botch my history on this So maybe I should maybe just strike everything. I just All I know is There were several scary movie movies scary movie movies one of them was good the other ones were pretty awful Then there was not another teen movie Then there was epic movie Superhero movie movie movie everything with movie at the end was pretty much garbage Not another teen movie has moments that are good for sure It's definitely passing barely, but there's a lot of bad spots in that film too And I think that was the final nail in the coffin of the parody films after not another teen movie That's when we got this whole shovel-wares amount of trash in that realm of you know, oh look Kim Kardashian's playing Wonder Woman and it was really nothing more than surface level humor It's not even humor. It's just observations Like oh we got so-and-so chef Rams. He's here and he's dressed up as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo That's the entire I made that up, but that's the entire joke. There's no punchline. There's no setup. There's no payoff. It's just cultural icon Put in put in as a character and then they recreate a scene from a film That's it. That's it and it didn't work and people got sick of it And they went away and it's too bad because it took down some really greats some really great stuff with it. I Hope the parody returns at some point, but I think Shows like family guy is probably as close as we're gonna get. I haven't seen family guy in many years I don't know if it's any good anymore. Some people never liked it. I thought it was great. I Haven't watched cuz I don't like it. It's just I just haven't found myself I don't even- is it on Fox still? Is that a thing? Do people still pay for Fox? Do people pay for cable still? Is family guy owned by Disney? They must be right I can't imagine that's gonna be on Disney Plus. Oh, I think it's on Hulu. All right moving on Another form of comedy is the rom-com. This is the type that I don't really care for There are some that that kind of walk between both worlds. They're daywalkers. They're both rom-coms and they're I Don't even know what you want to say college frat movies just dumb You know humor films. I don't know humor films. That's a category now dumb humor films Clueless is what I was getting at that was the long walk that I was taking Alicia Silverstone Turk from Scrubs is in there the dad. That's always a dad and everything. He's in I forgot his name We I brought this up before but clueless is great great little flick what women want Mel Gibson vehicle Mel Gibson Seems to be a crazy individual in real life, but damn the guy could direct and he could act he really was Very good at what he did on camera He was I mean you could put him in any role Comedy action drama the dude was freaking talented. I Don't know what he's doing anymore It's I heard they were gonna make another lethal weapon at one point Apparently that ship has failed which is probably good because I think lethal weapon for tied everything up perfectly There's no reason to to again dust off those bones. How old is freaking? Danny Glover at this point He really is too old for this shit now. He can say it and really mean it What women want it's Gibson. It's Helen Hunt. I believe it's been a long time since I watched it I just recall thinking you know what this is a fine little flick He's also in a much finer flick which I have mentioned many times on this called Maverick Not to be confused with Tom Cruise's Maverick the sequel to Top Gun. This Maverick has James Gardner Jody Foster Alfred Molina. I saw that name right to the dude from Dr. Octopus It's it's a hilarious Western Directed by Lethal weapon director Richard Donner. Is that right? Am I getting this name right Richard? Donner director IMDB. I have to fact check myself in real time or I'm just gonna look foolish. I Don't know if he yeah, he did okay richard already lethal weapon. He also did Maverick. There's even a callback To lethal weapon in Maverick. It's it's a very nice little humorous moment Absolutely check that movie out though freaking hilarious Western came out in the mid 90s. It's peak Gibson it's peak. Well, no, I don't think Jody Foster has a peak She'll just continue to peak as long as she lives. She's just a treasure to me. Let me get back to my notes here quick Okay, I also have I Have I have some newer ones on there because rom-coms again I'm not really into sweet home Alabama or the dramedy style isn't for me that much But there are some newish ones that came out in the last few years that are pretty good Palm Springs With Andy Sandberg and the how I met your mother real mother at the end there in it It's a groundhogs day esque sort of situation where they they keep reliving the same Freakin day at Palm Springs. It's a terrible title, but they really find each other at the end. It's a nice little flick I would check it out and groundhogs day is awesome, too. And that's I guess a rom-com. I'm glad I got there bill Murray One of the greats, of course. He's one of the greats. I will talk about some of my favorite comedians at the end But bill Murray is definitely on that list What else do I have under the? Rom-coms I have okay. I have two more meet the parents Ben Stiller Ben Stiller vehicle very funny. They made several of them. The first one's really good I can't speak much to the other two. I saw them. I recall them being incredibly forgettable. I Think one of them has Dustin Hoffman in it as his father They can't flush the toilets One of the mechanics looks like Ben Stiller like a Hispanic version So they're not sure if the kids his it got really weird in one of them meet the Fockers I think is the second little Fockers that one's horrible. I don't know that one's terrible But meet the parents is great a lot of quotable lines. I'm a cat. I'm not what does he say? I have nipples. Can you milk me? You broke his nose Focker a lot of good lines The newest one that came out actually recently One of the very few that's come out recently No hard feelings Jennifer Lawrence some boy I've never heard of before and Ferris Bueller's in this Matthew Broderick was in an interview not that long ago and he said I'll always be known as Ferris Bueller And he's kind of accepted it at this point. I Don't think that's bad I mean you could be known as much worse He peaked at Ferris Bueller to be honest with you that movie is fucking great to be Regarded as one of the coolest high school students ever put on film. Yeah, I think that's probably fine I think I'd be cool with that No hard feelings though One of the rare raunchy comedies we got I think it came out this year. I'm pretty sure I reviewed it this year Jennifer Lawrence is hilarious. I always thought she'd be great in In a comedy role It's amazing to me that she really hasn't been in one up until this point because every time I see her on a late show or in an interview she freaking knocks it out of the park She's so damn relatable Is the joke, but she really is she's relatable. She's funny as hell No hard feelings was pretty funny too. I enjoyed it another one from a couple years back with Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock America's sweetheart What was that the Lost City? Daniel Radcliffe's in there playing a villain I loved seeing Daniel Radcliffe in another mainstream movie He kind of got away from it after Harry Potter because he'd been in the spotlight for so long He wanted to do more plays more indie flicks, but he was so good seeing him in a big budget movie again You got Channing Tatum in here. You got Brad Pitt. I like this movie. I don't think he did very well for critics I think fans were mixed, but I thought it was good It's very, you know, formulaic It's it's very paint-by-numbers, but I think enough of it worked I always like seeing Sandra in a film and I think Brad Pitt is just fantastic Pitt is another guy that really is a diverse actor. He can do drama, comedy, action roles, really the the pre Chris Hemsworth Before Marvel realized Chris Hemsworth is funny as hell and they went all in with that Two disappointing degrees, but we'll get there as well Next on my list of comedy types. I have the raunchy flicks No hard feelings kind of falls into that category as well. Some of them some of them Have broad, you know appeal. They kind of mix genres a little bit Animal House is the first one that comes to mind American Pie right after that There was an entire trilogy of American Pie films. Actually, I think there was four of them The fourth one's not good. The first three I think are freaking hilarious And then there is those terrible spin-off American Pie movies that only seven people watched I went straight to DVD the American American Pie presents the American mile or something There were several of those and I think they were spin-offs with Stiffler's brother If you if you've seen the American Pie spin-off films and you're watching this on YouTube Please comment. I would love to know if any of them are any good. I just I can't imagine there anything other than trash Caddy Shack Classic you got Chevy Chase who's another one of my favorites in the comedy I mean he went off the deep end to got unfunny as he got older But man, he was a legend back in the day Bill Murray's in that you got Rodney Dangerfield Lotta lot of good talent in that movie Hangover and bridesmaids. These are kind of a nice pairing They're both the boys being boys and the girls being girls type of films Bradley Cooper on one end of the spectrum with what's the two ferns guy between Zach Galfinakis This is the movie that really put Zach Galfinakis on the map for a lot of people I liked him when he was doing Tim and Eric and some of his random Weird shit on adult swim, but hangover was freaking legendary for this guy and Bradley Cooper Solid actor all around On the bridesmaid signs side you have Suki from Gilmore Girls Melissa McCarthy take her her lever. I go both ways with Melissa McCarthy Sometimes I think she really is solid in bridesmaids. She is freaking hilarious Kristen Wiig is in this as well. The only movie Kristen Wiig is done. That's not terrible to my recollection She would go on to do a string of pretty bad films like Wonder Woman 84 and the Ghostbusters 2016 Reboot That that was a complete disaster Melissa McCarthy though really good as this character. She's not just playing herself. She's playing a freaking hilarious like war-torn Bridesmaid who's really rough around the edges I like hanging over a lot too the first one. I tried watching the second one not that long ago I heard it was bad. I wanted to give it a shot and yeah, it's bad It's the first half is decent, but man it falls on its face and I didn't even bother with the third Dumb humor. This is really where I like to live as far as the comedy genres Dumb ass humor is my favorite Movies that are borderline parody in nature like Austin Powers and Zoolander Yeah, I'll take those every day of the week. I love the Austin Powers trilogy third one It's rough, but it's still watchable. You still have Mike Myers being brilliant. You still have Dr. Evil being hilarious Seth Green a great You know bouncing off straight man to Dr. Evil a lot of great actors in these movies They do, you know, obviously playoff James Bond But there's tons of different things done tons of tropes that they wink at and tip the hat to Zoolander Ben Stiller is so good when he's writing and directing his stuff Zoolander tropic thunder Cable guy. I know he's not in it much. He's a cameo, but these movies are really top of the line And I love Stiller. I think he did. Yeah, he had to have done a cable guy. I'm pretty positive Well, whatever you can fact check me later, but for right now, I'm sticking to it. I don't think he did dodgeball I think that one he did not write and direct even though it feels like a Ben Stiller movie Stiller's got range too. He plays different types of characters, which I like He's very much an SNL cast member without I think ever actually being on SNL He did have a short-lived Ben Stiller show back in the day that had some really good skits The diehard one specifically if you haven't seen the diehard skit by Ben Stiller check it out He also does a really funny Tom Cruise impersonation. There's a great bonus feature on Mission Impossible 2 Tom Cruise is playing the stunt double I'm sorry, Ben Stiller is playing the stunt double of Tom Cruise Perfectly and Tom Cruise is having a great time. He's in on the joke. It's really fun Yeah, I love I love Zoolander. What else do we got on this list? Oh happy Gilmore Adam Sandler, you know listen for the longest time. I had to know Adam Sandler policy in this house After I think anger management was the final straw for me. He just wasn't doing good movies. He was just phoning shit in Billy Madison was great. Happy Gilmore is brilliant. It's one of my favorite comedies Austin Powers is up there, too The next one I'll bring a Zoolander is up there as well and happy Gilmore is is so damn funny Quotable as all hell every time I watch it. I pick up on things that Didn't make me laugh the first time but came around the second or third you got Bob Barker and him fighting You got shooter MacGavin a hilarious foil a lot of good stuff in this It's based around a sport which already makes it just for some reason more fun and more exciting Yeah, I don't have anything negative to say about happy Gilmore that that's a gem night at the Roxbury This is one that I don't ever really get to hear her talked about much. You got Will Ferrell in this another great You got Chris Katan who I think was kind of unjustly Forsaken to the Hollywood gods. He didn't really do anything after he had that corky Romano movie Which nobody saw and bombed miserably after that. He just completely fell away I know he was a reoccurring character on the TV show the middle for a while, but I mean come on really Will Ferrell sprang to greatness and and It's too bad the same didn't happen for his partner in night at the Roxbury a very funny movie Molly Shannon's also in this from Saturday Night Live The dad again, I believe from Clueless Playing the dad again. I'll never remember that guy's name It's it's a great flick check out night the Roxbury though based on a skit Of course where they they had Bob to what is love? Baby don't hurt me really good office space This was a kind of a borderline indie gem that came out Couple actors from dodgeball actually in it swing line stapler Milton I think his name is Milton the boss Lumberg bill Lumberg is the announcer at the end of dodgeball This movie is freaking great for the first half I do think it kind of falls apart in the second once the plot starts to kick in. Oh, yeah Jennifer Aniston is also in this too sweetheart of everyone's Jennifer. She's worldwide sweetheart Jennifer Aniston not just America's sweetheart It's um, it's got a lot of good lines Very quotable film. It has some really funny scenes like when they break the printer Out in the yard with baseball bats. They're stomping on it spitting on it You have the whitest dude in the world Wrapping to some heavy music in his car and then he sees a black guy next to him and he rolls up his window So many good little moments in that flick. I Mentioned Tropic Thunder Fletch Chevy Chase Fletch and Fletch lives You want to talk about deadpan humor and dry delivery Chevy Chase man. He's right up there with Leslie Nielsen Thor Ragnarok, this is the only Marvel movie that's on here even though a lot of them have Comedy in them spider-man no way home is a pretty funny flick as well with Thor Ragnarok It's damn good and it's really damn funny Chris Hemsworth did a series of shorts for Marvel that went like straight on YouTube They were five or six minutes long He had a roommate in them those things were great And I think it really woke people up to the fact that Hemsworth is freaking funny So they infused a lot more into it the JoJo rabbit director Which is also a pick of mine as far as recommendations go JoJo rabbit a dark comedy Really hilarious stuff based in World War two Where our little our protagonist is seen and his best friends with Hitler an Imaginary Hitler that he's been brought up, you know because he's brainwashed He thinks Hitler is like this great fun loving guy as the movie progresses Obviously, he's gonna learn the cold hard truth and see through the eyes of a Jewish person Who knows who knows much better, but this movie it's a very lovely touching little flick feel good But there's some bad stuff happening in it, which puts it in the dark You know, obviously the Nazi stuff was kind of bad So it puts it in the dark humor category for me, but as far as Thor Ragnarok goes. Yeah, I think they took a character That previously was very broody and serious and kind of uninteresting and they really, you know gave him a glow-up They really brought him to another level And then they would obviously knock him down ten more in the follow-up film Thor Love and Thunder Where they took the comedy and went way Overboard with it removed any sort of real drama or personal stakes Even though Hemsworth is very good at turning it on when he needs to he can go from comedy to drama Instantaneously, but when you have a script that's so lazy and so full of humor at every turn. There's just nowhere to really go Last on the list. I mentioned dark comedies. I like dark comedies There those are kind of still happening more so on TV than in movie theaters But I got cable guy on here as I mentioned with Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller Matthew Broderick The Suicide Squad with James Gunn James Gunn's really good at comedies and dramas and all that stuff as well. Guardians of the Galaxy Also very funny the first two the third one has a lot of humor in it, but it's still it's a lot more dire It's a lot more serious overall So even when the humor hits the tone is a lot drearier It kind of it kind of muffles the humor a little bit But the first two Guardians are freaking great from a comedy standpoint as well the Suicide Squad made me laugh the through and through though and I know it was more of a It wasn't supposed to be I don't think as funny as Guardians of the Galaxy But something about these characters King shark polka dot man Peacemaker they all just were so silly and out there that even when they were doing serious stuff I just couldn't help a thing like the fuck this is this is insane and I'm loving it Harley Quinn is always great, too I love I love Harley Quinn American Psycho a movie that some people have kind of misinterpreted I think over the years especially in film film studies film commentary American Psycho Christian Bale stars and narrates all the thoughts going on in his head and this is very much a dark comedy It's it's a pretty crazy flick seeing this guy's Insane levels of superficialness his persona really unfolding as the movie progresses his infatuation with the little things the details He really goes off about business cards for a long time and the different font Treatments and the way they're presented Even when he's killing a guy. He's suited up to Huey Lewis in the news dancing around. It's a twisted comedy It's really damn funny if you take it at that and not go for the serious route that I think some people mistakenly do What else game night is a newer one not new but it's new wish I guess as far as door comedy goes That one's pretty fun. Jason Bateman is in it. It's it's a little bit more again formulaic But I think it gets the job done. I laughed quite a bit in that one Horrible bosses, too. I heard is really funny. I didn't see it the first one. I thought kind of missed the mark I was hoping for an office space type flick But most the time is spent outside of the office and that was a shame for me because I like the cast and that both of Them start Jason Bateman. I mentioned Jojo Rabbit Beetlejuice Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Michael Keaton is actually coming back For another Beetlejuice all these years later because of course. Why not? Why no one a rider is gonna be in it as well playing the mom? I think Olivia What the hell's her name? She's the new hotness. That's everywhere the new scream chick She did the dumb dance That was on tiktok for a long time, you know who I'm talking about You know who I'm talking about. I'm gonna leave it at that Yeah, I I enjoyed Beetlejuice quite a bit. I watched it not that long ago and really had a good time with it all over again I put underrated comedies the ref I've mentioned this on the show before as well, but I want to bring out the ref It's a really funny movie set around the holidays You got stand-up comedian who I'm forgetting the name of now. Why am I forgetting now? I gotta look it up the the ref IMDB it's gonna come to me right before I click Dennis Leary Dennis Leary he was in that firefighter show for many years Dennis Leary Kevin Spacey He it's about a burglar who is on the verge of getting busted So he breaks into a neighboring house Kidnaps the two adults there and they drive him crazy because they're on the verge of a divorce and It just make his life a living hell It has the movie unwinds they learn more about each other and it's just a great Movie for the holidays if you're looking for something a little dark, but funny check that out and Speaking of holidays, I Noted it, but I don't think I mentioned him the man the myth the legend John Hughes. All right P He made some of the greatest comedies I said Ferris Bueller earlier, but he also did home alone one in two Uncle Buck the breakfast club weird science He he wrote and produced and directed a bunch of great films from the late 80s early 90s He died way too young, but man I home alone one and two I watch every single year still They never get old for me. I laugh my ass off Ferris Bueller is the same way Uncle Buck I used to be able to quote a stupid amount of that movie John Candy was brilliant in that flick everything about that movie works There's not a bad spot in the film Absolutely watch Uncle Buck if you haven't It's sad that it doesn't get talked about enough. I think to round things out. I got favorite comedians on here I mentioned Leslie Nielsen already. I mentioned Bill Murray Who's also really funny in Royal Tenenbaum? No, I'm sorry. Yeah, he's in there, but Rushmore I love Bill Murray and Rushmore Murray has he can do the deadpan humor, but he also can do the over-the-top wild humor in movies like Groundhogs day or what is the what is the horror one the horror holiday one? I'm really having a hard time right now There's too many movies running through my head that when I'm trying to speak and think at the same time It's just not connecting at all scrooged. See I talked myself into it He's really over the top and scrooged and it works really well there Jim Jim Carrey Insanely versatile actor I don't think people realized it at the time because he was doing the silly stuff like Ace Ventura and Ace Ventura When nature calls both great flicks then he did Dumb and Dumber, which is another favorite of mine Maybe the most quotable movie ever made he and Jeff Daniels are brilliant in that film He then went to Cable Guy Which I think threw people for a loop because he was playing a wildly different character not the silly over-the-top character But more of this dark disturbing Weirdo, and he was hilarious But then he would go on to do Truman Show which also was a brilliant film But it wasn't funny in the laugh-out-loud ways that these other movies were that he's done So he really he really has range on him and of course He's recently done Sonic and he did some shitty ones like mr. Poppers penguins And he would do the horror thing with 23 and he would do the drama with the majestic the guy really can handle it all and He elevates the scripts more than not sometimes it doesn't work But for the most part you get a spotless mind out of Jim Carrey more times than you don't Chevy Chase I mentioned Fletch obviously Christmas vacation all the all the vacation films. He is he's very much golden and then Chris Farley Went way too soon. I don't even think he hit 40. He might have been early 40s But talk about oh talk about such a waste of talent the guy was Hilarious on SNL. Obviously Tommy boy Tommy boy to aka black sheep. I don't know why it's not Tommy boy, too It's basically the same thing with the same characters regardless. It's good for some laughs Beverly Hills ninja not so much It's probably watchable, but I don't think it's very good Will Ferrell I brought up, you know ease in movies like stepbrothers night at the Rocksbury I like when he cameos and things out of nowhere He's really funny in old-school Hank the tank and Then a Ben Stiller who I've brought up several times during this so we don't need to go into any further details I mentioned how TV shows have done more with the comedy. I think that's really where things have gone You know people always say well, you can never make this movie today or you can never do this today You really can it's just maybe not financially is is Tangible for studios. It's not that you can't do it because they're gonna get people triggered or outraged That usually comes with a good price tag Usually when people get upset the movie does well Now dead I should have put Deadpool on here Deadpool is really funny Now shout out to Deadpool while I'm losing track of thought But they are doing Crazy raunchy over-the-top inappropriate stuff all the time on TV shows people just don't care enough To I guess get outraged about them South Park still exists. They're still pushing the envelope all the time They're probably still getting sued all the time. Who knows? You have shows like the righteous gemstones Done by Danny McBride. I just finished the new season. It's freaking great Check it out if you haven't watched this show righteous gemstones are stars Danny DeVito Danny DeVito Danny McBride John Goodman Adam Something the guy from workaholics. I always want to say Adam Levine Adam divine. I think is his name He's really funny. There's a bunch of characters in this that really put in a good performance It's shot right where I'm at in South Carolina. So that's another thing that was is really fun about it Although when I started watching I was in Minnesota So that's not like a bias thing for me. That's just an extra perk but righteous gemstones follows a family of I don't want to say grifters. I mean, I think the parents are the kids are just more stupid and The in order to be a grifter in my eyes, you have to willingly be screwing people over Where I don't think the gemstones do that I think they ignorantly screw people over because they're so selfish and Lack empathy so it doesn't come off to them as being truly evil They just genuinely don't know any better and that's what makes it such a fun watch. Yeah, it's about mega It's about this family that has a series of mega churches and they have you know They own basically half of the damn country and they have their hands in the pockets of politicians And it's really funny the stuff that they do and the hijinks they get into and it is wildly inappropriate They say a lot of terrible things. They do a lot of awful things and it's very funny Always sunny in philadelphia is still going they very much push the envelope as well curb your enthusiasm I mean, there's not enough great things I can say about larry david in the show that he's been making for the last 15 years or however long it's been Yeah, curb your enthusiasm continues to impress me every single season So yes, it is sad that the comedies and theaters pretty much are non-existent. It's rare when we get one It's a shame. I I miss them, but I am at least thankful that we still have it coming out on tv Of course, that's not the same though. I would love to get another road trip I'd love to get another Austin powers but not an Austin powers for Mike Myers is in no shape for Austin powers for He's gonna have to hit the bow flex if he wants to make this happen And on that note, why don't you flex your opinion in the comments if you're watching this on youtube? Thank you for joining me.
