Don't Watch Sober

We're getting into the Holiday spirit with this awful Christmas movie, 'Surviving Christmas' (2004). Yes, another Ben Affleck movie. And yes, he's just as awful in this one. They really missed the opportunity to have this be a true comedy. Maybe it's because they didn't have a complete script? Also, it's a sin to just waste Catherine O'Hara's talent like that.

Why does everyone, especially Wahlberg, look so confused? Where is the panic? What are the rules? So many questions. Explore them with us in this episode.

In this episode, we are watching a movie that offends just about everyone it can, Tiptoes (2003). Even the title of this movie is offensive! We have so many questions: How did this movie get made? Who did all these actors/actresses owe a debt to? How did this come out in 2003? Was the director's cut really any better? If you haven't seen this movie you are in for an offensive ride.

In honor of Halloween, we are watching Candy Corn (2019) a Halloween Horror/Thriller. Let's just say, Risa's husband isn't allowed to pick movies anymore. This movie is quite the stinker and a wasted use of Tony Todd. Won't you come on this fun journey with us?
