Episode 157 is here! We kick off our Horror Parodies Month with a look at Scary Movie from 2000.
How well has this film stood up?
How does it work as a parody and how well does it lampoon the films its poking fun at?
How subjective is comedy and how do we hold this film now to the standards of the past?
We also discuss the sequels and spinoffs this film helped to spawn and whether or not that was a good or bad thing. We also get into what makes a good parody and if the art of the parody is now dead.
This week we talked live about strange habits and as Cait said, “Things escalated.”
Please know there is swearing.

John: hey arthur there’s a poster over there for a film. It looks pretty good. We should go see it!
Arthur: no
John: I fucking knew you always hated me you selfish piece of shit. I hope you starve to death. I hope everything goes horribly fucking wrong for you. How fucking dare you treat me like a prisoner. I hope you never have anything good happen to you ever again. Whore.
Hypothetical interaction where someone asks me what im listening to on my headphones & i nonchalantly reply “the news” & they reply with “oh, about?” & i give them a deadpan stare with
“a phantom ocean has appeared in the desert”
“angels are now legal”
“livestreaming the trial of a five-headed dragon rn”
This week, our first week back in 2024, we free styled.
Which means?
We talked about aliens at the mall. Shaun proudly drops the f-bomb at the end, so be warned. Yay for live podcasts.
