It's a raw dog episode, which means no safety rails and barely a plan. The boys get into Sunday Scaries, couples going to bed together, Kevin surviving on I-4 micro naps, Jason accidentally walking into a Charlotte club in sandals for chicken wings, and a neighborhood pool party that somehow ends with cops, swim tests, and a water cannon. The 2000s comedy bracket rolls on with I Love You, Man, Tropic Thunder, Step Brothers, and Without a Paddle, while the crew debates fake Tom Cruise hands, hot sake, Billabong shirts, music taste, Pride Month landmines, and Kevin finishing the Infinity Saga with his girls.

In this episode, we break down TROPIC THUNDER — the absolutely insane Hollywood satire from Ben Stiller that somehow blends outrageous comedy with a surprisingly smart parody of war movies, method acting, and the movie industry itself. We dive into why this film still feels so bold, how it perfectly roasts Hollywood egos, and why every performance commits so hard to the bit.We analyze the legendary performances from Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and especially Tom Cruise as Les Grossman one of the funniest surprise characters ever put in a comedy. We break down the behind-the-scenes story of how Tom Cruise actually helped create the Les Grossman character himself, adding the dancing, oversized hands, and intense studio-executive energy to give the movie a stronger antagonist presence.We also reveal some of the craziest production stories from the making of the film, including Jack Black nearly getting seriously injured during the water buffalo scene, the insane detail put into the Vietnam style sets in Hawaii, and how much effort went into even the fake movie trailers at the start of the film.Beyond the comedy, we talk about how Tropic Thunder cleverly parodies iconic war films like APOCALYPSE NOW, RAMBO, and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN while still feeling like a genuinely well-made war movie underneath all the insanity. This movie is ridiculous, controversial, chaotic, and somehow still brilliantly crafted and we break down exactly why it works so well.

Around the same time that cinematic universes began to dominate every multiplex, one satire landed like a live grenade tossed directly into Hollywood's lap. Co-written, directed by, and starring Ben Stiller, the movie follows the catastrophically doomed production of an over-budget Vietnam War epic whose cast of self-absorbed actors - including Stiller's fading action hero, Jack Black's substance-abusing comedy star, and Robert Downey Jr. as a thespian who goes a little too method - find themselves dropped into a real jungle conflict in a parody proudly following in the footsteps of The Three Amigos and Galaxy Quest. Along with a platoon of scene-stealers and a nearly unrecognizable Tom Cruise, the film took a proverbial machete to prestige filmmaking, Oscar bait performances, and celebrity egos with a ferocity rarely seen in big-budget studio comedies. While it's undeniable that the film was a critical and commercial success, it feels equally unbelievable that Downey's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. But nearly twenty years later, does this savage send-up of Hollywood excess still land laughs with explosive energy, or has "cancel" culture invaded film discourse to the point that merely discussing it feels like wading into a minefield?

Anaconda (2025) dares you to answer a simple question: if your childhood favorite movie was a giant snake thriller, would you really remake it in the Amazon with your friends? We take that absurd premise and pull it apart from every angle, because this one sits right on the fault line between horror and comedy, and our reactions could not be more different. With a 47% Rotten Tomatoes score, it's the perfect pick for a Screams and Streams review where the arguments are as entertaining as the movie.We dig into the film's “movie within a movie” setup, the midlife-crisis nostalgia engine driving the plot, and the way celebrity casting changes the feel of the jokes. We talk candidly about Jack Black's very specific style, why it works for some viewers and completely bounces off others, and how Paul Rudd and Steve Zahn shape the best moments. Then we get into the creature feature essentials: jump scares, lost signal, characters making questionable choices, and the big issue for a modern monster movie, CGI that looks a little too fake when the snake should feel terrifying.You'll also hear our category breakdown, including one-liners, laugh-out-loud scenes, what does not hold up, and what surprisingly still works. We compare the movie's meta ambitions to Tropic Thunder and its stalking tension to classics like Jaws, and we end with our watchability scores so you can decide if this belongs on your queue.Follow for more spoiler-filled horror movie reviews, then subscribe, rate, and share the show so more horror fans can jump into the debate.

The boys are back and wasting no time — this episode kicks off mid-conversation about Tropic Thunder and somehow spirals into a full debate on Druski doing white face, blackface in comedy, and whether any of it would fly today. From there they get into the Bubba Wallace noose situation, Jussie Smollett's wild story, and what went down when Black Twitter decided Houston was the spring break destination of the year. Russell gives a firsthand account of watching his city get absolutely taken over, and it's exactly as chaotic as you'd expect. Things shift gears into some lighter territory — Maxx drops that he ran a 6:09 mile out of nowhere, the crew debates who's met the most famous celebrity, and Joe tells the story of moving into his new house with an unfortunate bumper sticker still on his truck. There's also a whole breakdown of the Linus Tech Tips private jet controversy, fake wealthy influencers, Justin Bieber's bizarre Coachella performance, and a heated argument about whether Brad Pitt or Arnold Schwarzenegger is more recognizable globally. The back half gets surprisingly real when Shawley reveals he's having a boy, which opens up a genuine conversation about absent fathers, generational curses, and what each of them wants to do differently for their own kids. It's one of those episodes where you think it's just gonna be jokes and somehow you end up genuinely feeling something. Oh, and Shawley closes it out by describing in graphic detail where exactly he's chafing from his 10-mile treadmill runs. Classic.

Taboos are generally things that are considered "forbidden" by society for various reasons, but what we start with are personal taboos rather than at the society level, but we do talk about that too. Taboos for me in humour are animal cruelty, sexual violence, racism, sexism and ableism, all to varying degrees but animal cruelty is the main one. I really hate it when a joke involves killing or harming an animal. When it comes to personal taboos I don't tend to become a "Karren" about it, when I personally have an issue with a type of humour I'll generally turn away from it rather than assume everyone thinks like me and go on a tirade. Society level taboos are different, sometimes it's culturally based, like taboos about comedy based on religion, national heroes, nationalism, etc, it could be political, it can be touchy subjects like racism, sexual violence, cannibalism, sexism etc, or even silly things like toilet humour and bodily functions! There can be good reasons for both avoiding taboos completely and also tackling them head on directly. One of my favourite TV sitcoms is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia which makes a point of constantly taking taboos head on. A general rule about taboos and touchy subjects in humour is to "punch up" rather than "punch down", which means it's not cool to go after the vulnerable, instead go after the empowered and entitled. But that doesn't mean you should infantilise the groups you deem worthy of protecting and treat them like that have no agency or humour, that can be just exactly as bad as attacking them directly because in both instances you are dehumanising them. A great instance of tackling a taboo in humour is Robert Downey Jnr's blackface in Tropic Thunder. Blackface is a taboo because it was about creating a dehumanising caricature of black people in order to denigrate them. The blackface in Tropic thunder isn't used that way at all, it's making fun of the character who is doing the blackface, his entitlement, overweening arrogance and gall to think he should be able to get away with it, as well as the ridiculousness of the situation. Do you have personal taboos that you don't joke about? Or do you think it's a good idea to make jokes about certain taboos in humour? -Waning- I recount a horrible, awful sexist joke near the end of the cast as an example and Tantz Aerine demolishes it with humour showing a good way to deal with such a thing.

Send us Fan MailA reboot can survive a bad budget, cheap CGI, and even a silly premise. What it cannot survive is refusing to be the movie it advertises. We dig into the Anaconda remake and the strange choice to set up jump scares, a Brazil jungle prologue, and a “we're living the movie we're making” hook, then drain it all of horror, tension, and consequences the moment the story gets moving.We break down the biggest screenwriting and structure problems: the movie within a movie never becomes a real, trackable film with real scenes, so every setback feels weightless. We compare it to Tropic Thunder to show why that format works when the inner production is coherent and the danger forces characters to change. From there we pitch practical fixes that would have made this reboot a stronger horror comedy, including a clearer snake-driven goal, escalating stakes on the river, and character arcs that actually clash.We also give credit where it is due. Steve Zahn repeatedly steals scenes with commitment and sharp delivery, and a handful of gags genuinely hit, from Buffalo Sober to the absurd “pee on it” bit to late-stage slapstick that finally feels like a creature feature. We wrap by sharing what we watched this week, then tee up next week's review of The Tomorrow War for another round of big budget pain.If you enjoy movie podcasts, film criticism, reboot debates, and craft talk about comedy writing, hit subscribe, share the show with a friend who loves bad remakes, and leave a review.

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

I didn't use to be a Trump voter, much less a Trump supporter. I can't say I'm hard-core MAGA or what they call a “Triple Trump voter.” But as I've watched him over the past six years, my support for him has only grown. I could lie and pretend it hasn't, maybe save myself the tiny bit of credibility I still have left, but that would not be the truth.As I watch Trump deflect attacks from both the Left and the Right over the war with Iran and various other things, I still see the Gray Champion of the Fourth Turning — The one guy who has the right stuff to stand in the breach and do the right thing, even if it's not the popular thing. Whatever it is in Trump that guides him, some will say God, some will say a gut instinct, it gives him the necessary focus to blur out the distractions and the noise, take aim, and hit the bullseye.No president has ever faced the kind of opposition Trump has, not just from the world, but from the establishment in the United States, most especially the Democrats. Even now, they have no plan for any of us, no vision for the future. They only have their hatred of and their attacks on Trump and his MAGA base. What they want is for people like me to disappear, or else decide that all of their attacks on Trump have been justified. I was a fool, they want me to say, and I regret my vote. Except that I don't. They want X to reflect real life, with all of these influencers and podcasters studiously dropping their support and regretting their vote, “I'm done with Trump,” they insist.But X isn't real. It's avatar life. Whatever is happening there, it's the result of algorithms and engagement by people who spend way too much time doomscrolling and getting caught up in mass hysteria. Most people aren't that plugged in. They're just living their lives.I didn't just vote for Trump to stop the Left from overtaking this country and leading us into their dystopian, 1984-like future, but that would be reason enough.No, I have come to genuinely admire Trump, flaws and all. I am sickened by the snooty Left and how they turned their noses up at Trump and his supporters when he tried to revamp the Kennedy Center. I vomited a little in my mouth when I saw Ben Stiller demand that Trump remove Tropic Thunder from a meme. Every time the elite gather and trash Trump, as they did at Jesse Jackson's funeral, much to the horror of his own son, I see our potential future, which is really our past, a past we desperately need to leave behind. This is not their country. It never was. This country belongs to all of us.The Gray ChampionNine years ago, one of the authors of The Fourth Turning, Neil Howe, was asked if Trump was the Gray Champion. He didn't know because it was too early to say. This was before 2020 and before January 6th, way before Trump's second win in 2024.The key point he makes, though, is that a Gray Champion is full of ego and has an idea that if he breaks it or if he fixes it, he'll be okay. It's that combination of self-confidence, certainty, and recklessness to do what almost no one else would do that defines the one man who can stand up to not just the forces that oppose him but his own peers.It is the willingness to take big risks that, I think, makes a Gray Champion. Who else would even dare try? That makes them hated in their time, but history remembers them well.Lincoln was the target of assassination plots and was eventually assassinated.Winston Churchill was blamed for military failures during World War II:And Roosevelt was a target too:The bombing and neutralization of Iran is very Gray Champion-like, as is much of what Trump has already done both in the US and abroad in his second term. He is moving fast and perhaps breaking things to make his short time back in office matter.He also knows that if the US abandoned support for Israel now, Iran got a nuke, they would not hesitate to wipe Israel off the map, and though many on the MAGA Right would cheer that decision, it would be a disaster for the world. The allies would have no choice but to go to war with Iran anyway. Pay now or pay later.As with other Gray Champions of the past, Trump will have to take the bad with the good. The bombing of a school killing over 100 girls on the first day of the war — probably due to outdated intel — will have to be part of his legacy, no matter the outcome, which is still under investigation, but it looks like the US did it. This will put Trump in the Democrats' crosshairs should they take back power in 2026 or 2028. They might impeach him again or put him on trial for war crimes. The bombing of the school, along with the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, will be amplified by the establishment media, and whatever Trump's successes will be won't matter.I understand this war from a strategic perspective, to end a threat to both America and Israel, one of the three world powers that could be fighting us in a world war, along with Russia and China. That wasn't the case with the Ukraine war. That, to me, had nothing to do with the United States. But this war does. But I also can't cry about obliterating a regime that was that oppressive with its people, not that it's our job to liberate them. As with Venezuela, it's hard not to feel some American pride that our president did what no one else had the courage to do.So yes, those girls died tragically, but hopefully, future daughters of Iran will not have to live under the kind of oppressive tyranny the Democrats pretend they've been living under for the last ten years.This was something all of us on the Left used to understand, which is why Hollywood made Not Without My Daughter in the 1980s, a true story about an American mother fleeing Iran to ensure her daughter lived free in America. And the end of the movie, the most miraculous sight of all, an American flag: In case you're wondering why Trump is in power now and why he's the Gray Champion, that's why. There was once an America that looked at the flag and saw freedom and safety. That is now threatened by a massive alignment of power that has decided to change everything about this country and transform it into a fundamentalist cult. There is no such thing as a moderate DemocratOkay, maybe John Fetterman counts. But, as we've now seen from the unearthed tweets by the Great White Hope in Texas, the crazy is baked in. It is more than just a fad or trend. While it's true that “dark woke” seeks to break their rules of behavior, it's also true that their newfound religion is unshakable. The Democrats are counting on winning elections without changing anything about their party. Trump hate sells, and they can't pivot away from it even if they wanted to. To fix a problem, you have to first name it, and in ten years, the Democrats never have. They've left people like me with no choice but to walk away. Even though poll after poll tells them how unpopular they are, even though the box office is now a ghost town, and you almost can't pay people to watch movies or television shows, or cable or network news, they still seem to believe they are superior to the other half of the country and that all of America wants them back. They don't.There are plenty on the MAGA Right, at least online, who see this as their moment to pull away from Trump and forge a new path toward an America First utopia of their own making. Count me out. I know what is waiting on the other side if they hand power back to the Left. In the Melania documentary that just dropped on Amazon, there is a great shot of a massive, gleaming luxury car, The Beast, and on its license plate it reads 45-47. It is as spectacular and hilariously funny as Trump himself. Who else but a Gray Champion would even try to run again, much less actually win?The critics' spiteful, negative reviews of Melania, compared to the audience reviews, say it all.I still remember another quote from a guy in East Palestine, Ohio, who called Trump, “a Man of the people” when he pulled up in his motorcade to visit them. The Democrats should spend every day for the rest of their lives pondering why. Trump supporters are not in a cult. They see in Trump a flawed hero. They also know he is spending what's left of his life trying to make America Great Again. His supporters believe in him, and the ride or die ones will stick it out to the bitter end. They waited in the freezing rain, in the suffocating heat of Summer, through assassinations and celebrations. Always, Trump is there with a smile and a thumbs up, the only guy who saw them at all, let alone represented them in the country they love.I might not have been there from the beginning, but as a discarded outsider, I have more in common with Donald Trump than just about any Democrat. I wish for his survival and that his last years will be spent playing golf at Mar-a-Lago and that history will remember him well.So you won't find me regretting my vote or wishing for a different leader. I'll take the guy who can get the dirty job done. I don't want a United States that is like Europe. I'll take an America that is like its current president, a chaotic work in progress that always lands on its feet. Godspeed Trump and MAGA. Godspeed. This is a public episode.

Um grupo de atores mimados e excêntricos é contratado para estrelar um épico de guerra sobre o Vietnã. Mas quando a produção sai do controle e eles são largados em uma selva real, sem perceber, acabam enfrentando perigos de verdade. Convencidos de que ainda estão atuando, precisam se transformar nos soldados que fingiam ser — e descobrir se têm coragem para sobreviver fora dos holofotes.Elenco principalBen Stiller – além de dirigir, interpreta Tugg Speedman, um astro de ação em decadência.Jack Black – vive Jeff Portnoy, comediante viciado em drogas e conhecido por papéis escatológicos.Robert Downey Jr. – rouba a cena como Kirk Lazarus, um ator australiano que leva o “método” ao extremo.Nick Nolte – aparece como o veterano de guerra que inspirou o filme dentro do filme.Steve Coogan – interpreta o diretor atrapalhado da produção.Jay Baruchel e Brandon T. Jackson – completam o grupo de atores perdidos na selva.Participações memoráveis de Tom Cruise (como o impagável produtor Les Grossman) e Matthew McConaughey.Diretor: Ben StillerRoteiro: Ben Stiller, Justin Theroux e Etan CohenO filme mistura ação, sátira e humor ácido, parodiando tanto os filmes de guerra quanto os bastidores de Hollywood.Por que assistir?"Trovão Tropical" é uma crítica mordaz ao ego dos atores e ao sistema de estúdios, mas também uma aventura cheia de momentos absurdos e inesquecíveis. Entre explosões, diálogos afiados e atuações caricatas, o longa se tornou um clássico moderno da comédia.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthPodcast: https://anchor.fm/fgcast

In this episode, we revisit Tropic Thunder and tackle the question everyone still debates: what on earth was going on with Robert Downey Jr.'s character? We break down the layers of satire, intent, and execution behind one of the most controversial performances in modern comedy—why it was written that way, why it landed (or didn't), and how the joke has aged in a very different cultural moment. Is it fearless satire punching up at Hollywood, or a joke that only works because the movie keeps winking at the audience the whole time?Black Facts : Canice100KCreator Profile PageBlackronyms: d.onyxCreator Profile PageRemember, you can now catch INCYCShow on all Socials or check our Website ⁠INCYCSHOW.com⁠ YouTube and Pandora.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 4 is here! The California Desert - San Bernardino To Needles Super Bowl and Weather Insights Randy and Bubba discussed the weather in different regions, with Randy noting mild temperatures during his trip despite concerns about winter weather. They shared thoughts on the recent Super Bowl, with Bubba and Randy agreeing that the game was defensively focused and not particularly exciting, while Randy expressed pride as a Rams fan despite the team's loss. They also commented on Super Bowl commercials, with Bubba praising an ad by Anthropic that humorously depicted potential future AI ads, while both agreed that many commercials seemed less impactful than in years past due to high expectations and expensive production costs. Political Sensitivities in Classic Comedies Bubba and Randy discussed the challenges of making classic comedies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Tropic Thunder" today due to political sensitivities. They reflected on how everything seems to have become political, including events like the Super Bowl halftime show, which they miss from the "good old days." Randy shared his perspective on nostalgia, attributing it to aging and a tendency to look back fondly on childhood. They also discussed Randy's extensive documentation of his Route 66 journey, with over 10,000 pictures taken, though only about 40 are shared per post. Route 66's California Transformation The discussion focused on Route 66 in California, whereRandyshared insights about the route's history and current state. He explained that California decommissioned Route 66 in 1965, converting it to County 66, and noted the varying conditions of the road through different regions. Randy highlighted Rancho Cucamonga's efforts to preserve and commemorate Route 66, contrasting it with areas like Fontana and San Bernardino, which have seen decline and transformation into areas with pawn shops, dispensaries, and vacant lots. He also mentioned visiting a Route 66-themed store called Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana. Route 66 Business Threatened Ruby interviewed Grumpy, the owner of Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana, a Route 66 landmark built in 1940. Grumpy expressed concern about the city's plan to widen the street and create a truck lane, which could threaten his business's survival. Ruby shared Grumpy's story and discussed the broader impact of progress on historical Route 66 businesses, noting the decline of smaller towns along the route. Bubba suggested adding a link to Man Cave Collectibles when posting the podcast. Route 66: California's Historical Challenges The discussion focused on Route 66, particularly in California, where they discussed the challenges faced by San Bernardino County due to its large size and limited tax base. They explored the historical significance of Route 66, including the first McDonald's location in San Bernardino, which has been turned into a museum. The conversation also covered the route's alignment with the Cajon Pass and its transition to Interstate 15, with a focus on driving the original road using frontage roads to avoid modern highways. Route 66: Desert Scenery and Ghost Towns The discussion focused on a road trip along Route 66, from Victorville to Barstow. The speaker described the desolate but scenic route, passing through several small towns including ghost towns and a unique attraction called Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch. They noted that while the area was once bustling during Route 66's heyday in the 1950s, it is now largely deserted, with only a few businesses remaining open. The speaker emphasized the peaceful driving conditions, with minimal traffic and the ability to stop freely along the road. Route 66's Decline and Revival Randy and Bubba discussed the historical Route 66, focusing on the section between Barstow and Needles, California. They talked about the decline of towns along this route due to the shift from steam to diesel trains and the construction of Interstate 40. Randy shared stories about ghost towns and abandoned gas stations, mentioning the Baghdad Cafe and its connection to a German movie. They also discussed the challenges of revitalizing old gas stations and the presence of a well-maintained house in the midst of a ghost town. Route 66 Ghost Encounter Bubba and Randy discussed a mysterious encounter on Route 66 where Randy saw a woman dressed in period clothing pushing a stroller in the middle of the desert. They debated whether the woman was a ghost, noting that she moved out of the road when she heard Randy's van. Randy planned to ask Beth about any known ghost sightings on Route 66, and they also discussed how to identify the correct route by looking for train tracks and power poles. Amboy Motel's Revival and History Randy and Bubba discussed the desolation of Ludlow, a town near Interstate 40, despite its proximity to the highway. They noted the lack of major chain businesses and the decline of Roy's Motel in Amboy, which was revitalized after changing ownership. Randy shared details about the motel's neon sign and its appearance in a Rose Parade segment. They also mentioned an unexpected encounter with a plane landing on a road near the motel, which turned out to be at a historic airstrip in Amboy. Route 66's Forgotten Towns The discussion focused on the history and significance of Amboy, a town in the Mojave Desert that gained fame as a stop on Route 66 before being bypassed in 1931 when the highway was realigned. The conversation revealed that Goff's, a town that was briefly on the original Route 66 from 1926 to 1931, became a ghost town after being bypassed and is now inaccessible due to road conditions. The speakers noted that while Amboy has maintained its celebrity status as a filming location for music videos and movies, the original Route 66 alignment through Goff's is now a forgotten road that cannot be driven. Route 66 Mojave Desert Adventures Bubba and Randy discussed their Route 66 road trip experiences, focusing on the Mojave Desert and Needles, California. Randy shared details about a non-profit ghost town in the Mojave Desert and highlighted the abandoned sections of Route 66 in Needles, suggesting potential business opportunities for ATV rentals. They also discussed the historical significance of the area and recommended a three-day itinerary for travelers, emphasizing the importance of planning stops in places like Kingman, Arizona. Route 66 Exploration Plans Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming exploration of Route 66, focusing on the longest contiguous stretch in California, which spans 348 miles and takes about 7 hours to drive. Randy shared his experiences visiting historical sites along the route, including Calico Ghost Town and a desert art museum near Amboy, emphasizing the importance of taking time to appreciate the history and stories behind the abandoned places. They also talked about the growing popularity of their Facebook page, which now has 21,000 followers, and Bubba mentioned their plans to start exploring Arizona next week, which covers a vast 400 miles.
