Ever wondered what makes a comedy movie tick? Could it be the jokes, the plot, or the characters? In a roller-coaster of an episode, we pull back the curtain on 'The Machine' starring Bert McRusher...Bert McRacken...Bert....We'll stick with Bert. We don't just skim the surface, we dig deep, discussing everything from the misleading trailer to Bert's acting abilities, and even draw comparisons with other films following a similar narrative. Despite its flaws, we argue that 'The Machine' has its moments of lucidity, but not enough to make it bearable.
Buckle up as we take a detour to a decade-old stand-up special and how its humor seems to have stagnated over time. We dissect the audience response to the trailer and the unusual elements in the movie including Bert's relationship with his daughter and some absurd plot decisions. But that's not all. We delve into the movie's narrative flaws, exploring bizarre behavior, questionable jokes, and a battle scene that could only be described as ill-conceived.
As we wrap up, we invite you, our listeners, to share your thoughts and engage with us on this fascinating analysis of 'The Machine'. It's a wild ride, and you're going to want to buckle up for this one!

Hate Watching Wild Hogs
Well, strap in folks. This one's almost two hours. Are you ready to rediscover the 2007 not-so-classic, 'Wild Hogs,' and ready to laugh out loud? Don't miss out as we go beyond the ridiculous camping scene and the offensive humor to dissect the controversial moments and hilarious antics of John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H Macy, and Martin Lawrence. It's a roller-coaster ride as we dive into mid-life crises, motorcycles, and the dynamics between the characters, especially Doug and his step-kid.
We ask the tough, hard hitting questions like: How long would a Cincinnati to Arizona road trip on a motorcycle really take? or do people really ride without helmets? Join us as we explore these major mishaps and plot holes in the movie, along with some classic video game talks and the merits of butter and sour cream, seriously. We also share an unforgettable moment when Dr. Drew walked in on us doing comedy.
As we round up our discussion, we delve into the movie's most glaring inconsistencies and somewhat confusing character development and we finish off by reflecting on the ultimate lesson the characters learn in the movie. We believe in rewarding oneself after a job well done. You've earned your laugh, so tune in and enjoy.

Hate Watching Taxi
Ready for a good chuckle? Buckle up as we hop into the chaotic and ridiculous world of the 2004 film "Taxi". With Queen Latifah’s flashy jewelry and Jimmy Fallon's precarious bed positioning, we're peeling away the layers of its hit or miss humor, intriguing plotlines, and head-scratching cinematography. Wondering how a transformer taxi fits into all of this? Well, you're just going to have to stick around to find out.
Ever considered the comedic value of a Cuban accent or the practicality of magical tires? Neither had we, until we delved into the world of "Taxi". From the mystifying DMV scene to the perplexing chase sequences, we unpack the madness and hilarity that ensues. We're not just reviewing the film here, but also raising the bar on the laughter quotient. And why exactly does Jeff Gordon make a cameo? Who knows.
Whether you're a fan of Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon, or just in the mood for a laughter riot, this episode promises to tickle your funny bone. So, sit back, relax, and let's enjoy this wild ride together!
