You Watched It Wrong

Wade and Siggy tackle Charlie Kaufman's latest scene by scene, so you'll want to stick around till the end where opinions will sharply diverge. (And no, you won't ever learn what was inhibiting Wade's vision.)

Just because we spent over twice a movie's runtime discussing it doesn't necessarily mean we loved it... but we had so much to say about Jim Cummings' The Wolf of Snow Hollow, this episode just had to stand up to its full height. (And yes, we also loved it.)

Feel like your world is upside down? Can't tell which way is up? Getting bad advice from Pursers? Then this movie might be for you. We'll also get into acupuncture, sleep apnea, a commercial or two, and of course, Track Marks. Life matters very much!

Don't let the poster fool you: Ike Barinholtz's THE OATH isn't just a Thanksgiving movie. It's a movie about how scary it is to live in this political moment in America. And it's a comedy! Wade and Siggy will talk you through it. (Available for streaming on Hulu.)

Wade and Siggy tackle BIG FAN, Robert Siegel’s comedy-drama starring Patton Oswalt in what you might call Taxi Driver Crashes The Tailgate Party. Hear why it’s even more relevant in 2020 than it was in 2009.

That Mitchell and Webb Look - Football

https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/that_mitchell_and_webb_look/videos/442/mitchell_and_webb_football/

Join us aboard the Starship Relation as Wade and Siggy realize they have very different ideas about whose opinions are asleep and whose are awake when it comes to the Chris Pratt / Jennifer Lawrence / Laurence Fishburne / Andy Garcia sci-fi not-bomb Passengers... then survive long enough for a return trip to Palm Springs to pit these two films in a virtual dance-off. Very good, sir!

Pain matters. What we do to other people matters. Palm Springs matters, and You Watched It Wrong does not, but we'd rather die with you listening to us than podcast alone.

Wade and Siggy were really enjoying each other's company, and they really enjoyed Gina Prince-Bythewood and Greg Rucka's The Old Guard, so they talked long enough to make you forget how old you are. But first, to warm up, they play a quick round of Wade's original movie soundtrack game, Track Marks. 

Non-Sponsored links... because we referenced them and we link them.

Screen Rant Pitch Meeting - "Fast Five"

https://youtu.be/7NLV6Y-Eg7M

Wade goes deep into one flashback in Superbad, as only Wade can. (This was on the cutting room floor, but Siggy likes it so he's posting it.)

Some directorial debuts just seem so unhappy on the inside. And something about that just seems so sad. Not so Augustine Frizzell's NEVER GOIN' BACK, and Wade and Siggy have some ideas as to why.

Then, Siggy formalizes how BOOKSMART, SUPERBAD, and GOOD BOYS belong to a sub-genre he coins "The BFF Quest"... and how NEVER GOIN' BACK both builds on and subverts its tropes.
