Send us Fan MailFriendly greetings, pod listener and follower of the TGTPTU. Stay excite: Season 17's concluding 1x1s of very special one-off movies cultivated by show regulars continues this week with host Tom's pick of a fellow Tom's directorial debut, that being distant relative of Al Green and the rapper, the writer, the MTV's late-90's darling with a hit show and #1 single, the Tom of all trades, Ontario Canada's very own (and once Drew Barrymore's very own before she made what has to be the greatest regret of her life, I mean, even more than dancing on David Letterman's desk or falling for the two killers in Scream or being Steven Spielberg's goddaughter or in that third Adam Sandler movie, even if it meant she could later date Justin Long, that regret being her amicable divorce from…) Tom Green and his co-written and lead role in his romantic-inspirational-comedy magnus opus, FREDDY GOT FINGERED (2001). The film that help give rise to the American indie wave of small-budget (under $15M) studio comedies at whose crest would launch the careers of such luminaries as Todd Phillips, Adam McKay, and David Gordon Green (no known relation to Tom) follows the trials and tribulations of a misunderstood, aspiring cartoonist Gordon “Gord” Brody (played by Tom Green) as he, through increasingly charming and absurd antics, reconnects with this father (played by Academy Award-winner Rip Torn), re-earns the love of his paraplegic girlfriend (played by Marisa Coughlan), and, by believing in himself and his slanted view of the world so strongly, wins over the head of an animation studio head (played Anthony Michael Hall) with a marginally fictionalized version of his life experiences and thereby elevates himself out of the grind of service industry and factory work and is able to vacay with his daddy. This seminal and often overlooked work of the early 00s was the wellspring for new types of movie humor and visual storytelling. It is alleged that Al-Qaeda delayed their deadly attacks until after film had its worldwide release so they could catch it as an inflight movie. They had rightly suspected that their attacks on 9/11, originally commissioned by the Bush Administration for 4/11 (MIHOP), would shut down theaters and movie exports. Unfortunately, these same attacks would irrevocably change the face of comedy in the 00s, altering the tenor of the humor landscape, as discuss this episode. Given its highly personal nature of the film and its excellent cinematography by the great Mark Irwin, it's little wonder that Freddy Got Fingered would appear as #2 on American-born auteur and skateboarding enthusiast Stanley Kubrick's Sight & Sound list for the Year 2001, a year that he and best-selling author Arthur C. Clarke co-invented. This ep, Xennial host Ryan explains TRL (and pre-streaming television) to Thomas; Thomas comes dangerously close to almost nearly agreeing partially with Ryan; and Ken makes a Seinfeld comparison (take a drink), concurs that Tom Green is the Pavement (a popular 90s band) of moviemaking, and does in fact want some sausages. As mentioned during the show, Netflix (as DVD.com) shipped hard media even after the two world-shattering events of early 2020: start of the global COVID-19 pandemic and of TGTPTU: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-dvd-the-final-season Japan4.

Few movies have penetrated the general pop culture landscape like Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. And few characters have resonated the way the Joker, as brought to life by Heath Ledger, did when Nolan's movie came out in the summer of 2008 and became the biggest movie of all time. For their 200th episode, Matt and Laci dive deep—and I mean deep—into The Dark Knight. And in a surprise that could have been conceived by the Joker himself, it turns out Laci loves this movie. Matt, meanwhile, continues to feel extremely mixed about all three of Nolan's Batman movies—there's so much to love, and so much more to be confused and baffled by. For the history segment, the podcast goes behind the scenes to talk about the casting of Heath Ledger and his process for becoming the Joker. Ledger famously isolated himself in a hotel room for a month, journaling his weird thoughts to turn into a version of the Crown Prince of Crime we'd never seen before. We also talk about the history of the Joker as a character, going all the way back to the 1940s. What exactly is it about the Joker that appeals to so many people? And, even putting aside the tragic circumstances behind Ledger's performance, what about the Nolan Joker resonated with so many people? Then, we talk for two hours about the movie itself, celebrating what we love, rubbing our temples about what we hate, and ultimately trying to figure out what exactly Bruce Wayne believes. How has he become so enchanted by a tough-on-crime prosecutor? Isn't Harvey Dent just Rudy Giuliani, but handsome? And the Joker's philosophy was extremely appealing to people, but does it actually make sense? We spend a lot of time unpacking it, and theorizing about where the Joker would have gone in a sequel, and if he would have done some maturing in between movies. If we have a contrarian take on The Dark Knight, it is this: The Joker isn't a reaction to Batman, he's a reaction to Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne rules the world of this movie so insivisbly that he poisons everything without anyone noticing.

Sandy recently came across an article in Variety that she thinks could spark your creativity for your next screenplay, short film, or vertical series. We also take a moment to revisit the March 2024 episode of 'Don't You Forget About John Hughes,' where Terry and Sandy dive into four inspiring quotes by the legendary screenwriter, producer, and director John Hughes. As one of Hollywood's most successful and influential talents, John Hughes has played a key role in launching the careers of stars like Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Macaulay Culkin, Judd Nelson, and John Candy.Executive Producer Kristin OvernCreator/Executive Producer Sandy AdomaitisProducer Terry SampsonMusic by Ethan StollerCheck out our fantastic sponsor, Novelium:https://novelium.so
In this episode of Heads Down Two Thumbs Up, Carla and Bill discuss the iconic film Sixteen Candles. This movie launched the career of John Hughes who quickly became known for his portrayal of teenage angst through the ubiquitous experiences of unrequited crushes, embarrassing parents and a punishing social hierarchy. Samantha Baker is turning 16, but in the chaos of her sister's wedding, her family has forgotten her birthday. To make matters worse, she spends the day pining over her out of reach crush, Jake Ryan, Michael Shoeffling, and being stalked by the kind of the geeks (Anthony Michael Hall). As the tagline suggests “It’s the time of your life that may last a lifetime.” How has Sixteen Candles stood the test of time? Is it still relevant today? Who was this movie for? Why are there only white people at this high school and what does it say about sexual misconduct? Carla and Bill discuss all of the joys as well as the cringy, problematic aspects of this 1984 classic.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 2001 film "61*." They introduce the film (1:10), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (5:51). In Amount of Baseball (14:41), they discuss the use of actual Mark McGwire footage, the strength of this tool throughout, and the impact of the authenticity. There is a player comp. Baseball Accuracy (20:39) starts off with discussion of Billy Crystal as Mantle's friend and "Rain Man" on set, and then delves into the history, talking about Ford Frick, Fay Vincent, and the asterisk itself, Roger Maris and Babe Ruth plate appearances, Maris and Mantle's relationship with the press, Pascual or Ramos, the imbalanced AL/NL in 1961, Babe Ruth breaking Ned Williamson's record, Maris trade rumors, Mantle running to first in three seconds, Joe DiMaggio Jerk-o-meter, Moose Skowron, Elston Howard, Billy Martin escapades, Maris signing an X on a ball, Rogers Hornsby, Casey Stengel and Mantle, the slick nickname, Mantle's arm injury, Hoyt Wilhelm and Tom Candiotti. Storytelling (54:16) considers everything added by the inclusion of the McGwire framing device, the function of Claire Ruth and Pat Maris in the story, the opening day scene, and the handling of exposition. There are a few small instances of Shakespearing. The scouts discuss the nuanced depiction of male friendship, the character of the media, the character of Bob Cerv, and the cinematography and lighting. The Score Tool (1:24:53) discusses the main theme, the volume of the score, and songs by The Ventures, Bobby Darin, and the Shirelles. Why TF is there a Lyle Lovett song? Acting (1:31:20) pretty much worships Barry Pepper, Thomas Jane, Bruce McGill, Michael Nouri, Richard Masur, Peter Jacobson, Seymour Cassel, Chris Bauer, Anthony Michael Hall, Christopher McDonald and Joe Grifasi, plus the rest of the ensemble. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:51:17) considers 17% of Yogi Berra and not enough Elston Howard. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:52:44) revels in both the accuracy and the high delight of the depictions of Phil Rizzuto, with all of his Rizzuto catchphrases and digressions, and Mel Allen trying to reign him in. Ellen has a (Rizzuto-esque?) digression into a comparison with "Eight Men Out." In Lack of Misogyny (1:59:51), they discuss Mantle's womanizing, and how it's tempered with Maris's point of view, consideration of Pat's perspective, and the existence of female fans. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:04:31), Six Degrees of Baseball (2:07:28), Favorite Moment (2:08:09) Least Favorite Moment (2:11:04), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (2:12:52), Dreamiest Player (2:15:49), Favorite Performance (2:16:30), and Next Time (2:19:05).

In this special super-sized bonus episode of Genre Exposure, we used the spooky season this year to discuss at exhaustive length the titular franchise: Halloween. From favorite kills to the coolest incarnation of Michael Myers, we spill our guts and geek out over our history and experiences with the complete franchise. Nothing fancy, and we're not trying to reinvent the wheel or give some deep analysis you've never heard before. Just two horror nerds gushing our hearts out in a more casual chat guided only by a handful of topics we selected in advance to fuel discussion. And of course we throw down the gauntlet and take to the battlefield with our own rankings of the series as well. So from all of us at Genre Exposure, we wish you a very Happy Halloween and hope that, like us, you get the chance to spend at least part of it soaking up the Fall vibes of Haddonfield and its very special Boogeyman. But before all that, we dish on more of our October watches including some surprising first time watches plus get hyped about Rhonda Shear and Up All Night returning and, hey, does anyone else remember Michael Jackson's Ghosts? And so much more!

Please turn off your cellphones and join us in reliving the trauma of what happened 40 years ago tonight when shit went sideways and HE came home, and see if we can live up to the rarely heard, yet immensely catchy slogan of, evil dies tonight! For our 82nd Commentary we subtly lead an angry mob through the labyrinthine like hallways of the hospital that is 2021 for the night that evil dies, and will seemingly never end, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, and Anthony Michael Hall to relive what happened 40 years ago tonight. Evil dies tonight as we relive what happened 40 years ago tonight and ponder how many goddamn catchphrases one character can spew repeatedly, debate how realistic a kill or two is, wonder if this is a comment on the culture wars, and see if we're with it enough to remember what happened 40 years ago tonigh.
Send us a textKatie and Bridget go get their (outside) bushes trimmed as they re-watch the iconic: Edward Scissorhands! It's a story all about an emotastic man/possibly-AI-creation who teaches a small town that disabilities are not roadblocks but rather obstacles to overcome... Or according to Tim Burton, they actually will always lead to DEATH and SADNESS. THANKS TIM! Come along as we meet Edward Scissorhands - he's the guy with the scissorhands, in case you were confused. When he gets pseudo-adopted by an Avon Saleswoman named Peg, he discovers a world full of horny housewives, possibly hard of hearing dads, and a weird love interest with Peg's daughter Kim. This movie asks the deep questions, such as: Does our society ultimately highlight, exploit, and then vilify those with disabilities? What can we as a culture do to better support individuals with disabilities in the real world/in Tim Burton's world? Would these housewives have been completely different people if they all just had vibrators instead!? All this and more in this very Tim Burton-esq film. Released in 1990, it was directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Alan Arkin, Kathy Baker, and Conchata Ferrell.
It begins! October is here and we're bringing you the first of our anthology series so hop on that terrrbrrrkerrrrr trrrrrrrrk! We join a feline friend on a journey to find Our Girl Drew through a system run by a sadist for love of the game, we're haunted by Anthony Michael Hall and Nicole has questions then we head to Atlantic City 27 floors up where the plants stay watered. Clenched buttholes, penthouse knowledge and that pigeon gets it too! Finally, we head back to the 'burbs to find a very unlikeable mother, grandma dracula or gramacula, Polly's pecker and a troll we would totally adopt and force to live in our dollhouse - it's Cat's Eye, this time on Doom Generation.
In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela kick things off with unusual headlines, from a nun in Ohio celebrating her 105th birthday on the golf course to a Texas man rescuing a newborn abandoned in a dumpster. The crew then reacts to a bizarre Homeland Security video that feels more like a Saturday morning cartoon than a government warning, before joking their way through fashion trends, forgotten shows, and the curious careers of Billy Zane, Bruce Campbell, and Alec Baldwin. The conversation shifts to Sean Penn's history of fights, Jude Law's awkward defense at the Oscars, and the infamous Will Smith slap. From there, they reminisce about '90s sitcoms, the odd rise and fall of TV formats, and the cultural status of pinky rings, Gucci loafers, and Louis Vuitton luggage. International politics enter the mix with Britain's recognition of Palestine and the spectacle of protest culture, which the hosts approach with sharp skepticism. Later, they highlight Corey Feldman's run on Dancing with the Stars, his Michael Jackson-inspired choreography, and his enduring pop culture mystique. The panel then examines Donald Trump and RFK Jr.'s warnings about Tylenol, questions surrounding autism, and the unintended consequences of health debates. The show closes with Gary Busey's probation for misconduct at a convention, his unpredictable career from Buddy Holly to Pet Judge, and a final detour into the surprising evolution of Anthony Michael Hall.

Enjoy Teen Movies! 1985 was a banner year for teen comedies, giving us characters we loved, related to, and sometimes cringed at. These movies didn't just entertain, they helped define Generation X adolescence. Why did these films resonate so much? Because the '80s were overflowing with disposable teen cash, hungry studios, and an army of rising stars like Michael J. Fox, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, and more. They gave us escapism, identity, and some truly quotable lines. Did one of these movies speak to you? Did you own the soundtrack?
