12/12/21 • 70 min

Join us as we go back to 1988 and go deeper on our unanswered questions from Scrooged. We try to figure out why Jenny's mom dislikes Bill Murray so much and go on a tangent about his random late night calls to writer Mitch Glazer. We take a look at the wacky budget for this film compared to others of the time. Zack finds an internal memo about the amount of service calls that Xerox attributes to butt copying. We look at the time of 1988, the end of the Reagan years. We look at the music charts and the headlines in the Observer Reporter. Also Zack deep dives the December 1988 issue of Playboy and goes on an unnecessarily thorough look at the resumes of the year's playmates.

Forbidden Cinema 32 - Scrooged

Grab some eggnog and get into the holiday spirit. We saw Scrooged, a film that was completely off the radar at Jenny's due to her mom's heeby-jeebies about Bill Murray and kept of the table by Zack's parents because of nipples. We unpack this thing and go for longer than ususal. We talk, we tangent, we wonder, and we just generally try to get into that holiday spirit early this year. Happy Holidays everyone.

Forbidden Cinema 34 - Christmas Vacation

Welcome to the nuthouse, we watched Christmas Vacation to get in the holiday mood. Join us as we look back and ponder how this fits into the established Vacation cannon. We ponder the little things, little things, like you. We skewer Santa and talk about the porno section of the local video store. We rent movies from the library long before that was a thing. Zack admits to past crimes and details the story of his Christmas house fire. Zack also makes a dire prediction that only Jenny's side of the family is capable of driving him stark raving bonkers this holiday season.
