The Review Review

**WARNING ⚠️ THE FILM DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE CONTAINS MOMENTS OF EXTREME AND REALISTIC VIOLENCE
And now for something completely different... It’s Spooky Season (is it?), writer and returning GUEST David McGuire (@bowtierobot) brings a movie all about Jay Leno (it’s not) “The Guest,” (d. Adam Wingard 2014). Do you ever laugh alone? Because in this, one of the most polarizingly...hilarious (?) choices to date, we touch on
- The rules of threesomes (no clue)
- Trampoline stunts
- Masterpiece synth scores
& Paul has a Senator style stroke. Is this the MK ULTRA Uncle Buck? Somehow (purposely rushed by it) we don’t spoil the ending of this movie you almost certainly haven’t seen, and some say you should 👍 10/2!
**catch cohost @paulactsbadly on the fantastic @back_to_the_blockbuster podcast discussing this same film now!

No Paul? NO PROBLEM!! We don’t need no stinkin’, bad actor! Ben is joined by co hosts @rachaelperrellfosket, @bigtimebopper, & special guest @harriettedfelizo for “The Virgin Suicides.” (D. Sofia Coppola 1999) Starring: Kirstin Dunst, Kathleen Turner, and James Woods. "Accidental," death, a Trippy Josh Hartnett, and the unifying power of American football. The gang dives deep for answers in this very needed "Paulless" presentation of the 1999...dramedy?? Stay inside, queue up the Review Review, and prepare to never want to leave home again.

Ben and Paul stave off the Wolfmunn (has nards), Mr. Frankenstain’s Monster, The Gillman (?), Bandage BoyTM️, and Alucard spelled backward just long enough to review “The Monster Squad.” (D. Fred Dekker 1987). Join us as we assemble in the clubhouse (based in the annals) for discourse on custom made shirts, intended franchises, dope one liners (you looked), and skimming over some serious stuff....but only skimming. Just barrreeely skimming.

Transcript

Hi. I'm David. I'm the guest. Hi, David. I'm Grandpa.
Hi, everybody. Welcome. It's the review review. The review review with Paul and Ben. Yeah.
I introduced you this time. You sure did. I did. You know who else is here? The guest.
Me. David. Again. Here in the flesh and hopefully in October, since I'm using the word flesh and we wanna use this for spooky season. But we'll see how special it goes.
Okay. You might get this a little early, and lucky you. Yeah. For getting things soon
