Two absurd comedies that mine specificity for laughs — it’s Monty Python and the Holy Grail vs Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar. Get ready to have “Edgar’s Prayer” stuck in your head.
Mind Over Matter: A Beautiful Mind vs Welcome to Me
Two movies where a self-confident person must get a handle on their mental illness — it’s A Beautiful Mind vs Welcome to Me.
Rebel Girl: Ghost World vs Whip It
Two coming-of-age movies where teen girls struggle over who they are vs who they think they should be — it's Ghost World vs Whip It.
Girl Power: Bridesmaids vs Spice World
If you asked anyone to name a comedy about a group of women, girl power, and friendship, 9 out of 10 times they would say Bridesmaids. As the tenth and most correct person, I would say Spice World.
Who would win in a fight, Kristen Wiig + Maya Rudolph + Rose Byrne + Melissa McCarthy + Wendi McLendon-Covey + Ellie Kemper OR Posh Spice + Sporty Spice + Scary Spice + Baby Spice + Ginger Spice?
Mental Gymnastics: Silver Linings Playbook vs The Skeleton Twins
In this episode, I compare two dramedies about mental illness - one is a beautiful movie with an incredible cast that deserved a million Oscars and the other is a movie called Silver Linings Playbook. The one that deserves your respect and praise is The Skeleton Twins, and by the end of this episode you'd better have rented or purchased a copy.
Also, I get into my oft-discussed hatred for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, it's the opposite feeling of the true and real love I feel for my girl Gwyneth Paltrow.
