    I can grant this wish when I get home from work. Only because I think I owe that to y'all after being so slow to refresh the polls. And mostly because Fighting and Never Back Down are the same movie.

     

     

    How did Oliver Stone's cartoonish take on professional football (replete with 'Pacino-on-eleven' yelling) stay off that list? Any Given Sunday is a great bad sports movie. Honorable mentions: MVP: Most Valuable Primate (chimpanzee learns to play hockey); Airborne (Seth Green dares the future not to make fun of rollerblading); and The Tooth Fairy (The Rock looks more at home in a tutu than on ice skates).

    YIIR was originally in the non-comedy section with Seth Goden's podcast when Earwolf had the various "value stream" platforms earlier in the year. They've since blended all the shows back together, but I don't think Andrew's goal is ever to be funny, first. Alleviating some sticky issues with lightheartedness? Sure; but not a comedy podcast. I don't listen to it often, personally, because the question is usually redundant and the guests are rarely interesting.

     

     

    Im most offended by Yo Is This Racist because its not funny. If there was a vote for worst podcast on Earwolf YITR would be the run away winner yet its on 5 times a week. What up with that?

    Gisele explains why Han is constantly eating in Fast Five:

     

     

     

    The smoking thing...even MORE BONKERS is that is an allusion to Han from a totally, otherwise, unrelated Justin Lin movie, Better Luck Tomorrow, also played by Sung Kang, and is the sort-of origin story of how Han became a criminal, without really explaining the jump to cars and how/when his connection with the Yakuza in Drift happened, unless what we just saw actually took place not in current times. The linear map of these movies is LITERALLY BONKERS.

    Backing this. Really bad movie that cracks me up just thinking about it. The central conceit is Melissa Joan Hart is the hottest girl in school, which is "bonkers" © Jason. Then there are all the tropes of teen movies of the era, but with pre-mellenialism that is really hilarious in hindsight, and even ( I think) a rape or abortion subplot that is just sort of tossed out there and disappears ala breast cancer in The Room.

    They pretty much have to do Jack and Jill now. This is like the third time its been mentioned on the show and June mentioned it on DLM before. That film is retarded. Fucking Adam Sandler doing Glen or Glenda, which was already mental. I don't know if there's a thread for it in Movie Recommendations but it must be done on the show soon. WHY HASN"T IT ALREADY BEEN DONE?

     

    It is a bad movie, but the only thing that really separates it from other horrible Adam Sandler movies is that he roped Pacino into it for a fairly major "role" that makes his Phil Spector look even more insane (THAT is a good shout for a made-for-tv-movie, btw).

    And the chocolate-dipped bird scene, which was really disturbing. As stolen from TheParrotForum.com:

     

    Just watched the movie Jack & Jill starring Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler. Worst movie I've seen in years but was surprised to see a Cockatoo in it. The parrot character was the only thing that kept me watching till the end because I was curious what would end up happening to it. Yet despite appearing in numerous scenes, the parrot turned out completely irrelevant to the otherwise asinine plot. Worse yet, virtually every scene the bird appeared in, it was being abused or mistreated in some way. Hearing Adam Sandler do the voice for the parrot was gunshot to my ears.

     

     

    Whether it was Adam Sandler falling on it, letting it fly away in the woods, caging it in a tiny cage or some guy trying to eat it on a sandwich, getting taped on a kids back, or being dipped in chocolate, the bird got the short end of the rope. Yet the bird's acting was great and it really deserves better than this, I hope it finds a better agent cause of all the characters in the movie, it's the only one who's got potential. Poor bird was the only good thing about this rotten movie.

    I think we're ok with Wie talking about Kulap's boobs because they have met and are friends. I wouldn't talk that way with anyone I'm meeting for the first time, no matter the setting or how innocent it is.

     

    Not to make this into any sort of thing, but I have faith in Kulap's ability to put someone in their place should they step over a line. She seemed comfortable with the banter.

    Yeah, the southern way of saying Ben is to really milk it into a 2 syllable word like the French "bien"; otherwise it becomes "Den" or "Dan", even when you spell it out, because B is pronounced "Beeeeee".

     

     

    But back on topic, I don't have a problem with Giancarlo at all. He doesn't come close to cracking the top 5 worst Who Carted guests. For example, where Chris Gore, the undisputed gold standard shit-stain of bad podcast guests, PRETENDED to be a suave mover and shaker; there is at least an air of authenticity about this guy and his machismo isn't blatant fakery given his Jersey background (we're fine with Howard talking about Kulap's boobs but supposed to be outraged by this guy doing the same?). In terms of Hollywood behind the scenes types, this guy is really far from the worst example of douchery in that mold.
