    For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

      Anchorman is good, but HWAS is even better and I didn’t see it till it showed up on netflix.

      The HWAS spinoffs are just as good too!

      I always dissolve into laughter at the ‘going into town for supplies’ scene. It’s just perfect.

    I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn’t even feel that dated. It held up!

    Yeah… I don’t care. I watch a movie and accept it for what it is. If I’m entertained for a few hours, great. If not, meh. I don’t need critical opinion.

    Observe And Report starring Seth Rogan.

    It’s a movie about a mall security guard and it often gets confused for the awful Paul Blart movies by people, which is why I think it gets dismissed. But it’s genuinely darkly funny. It leans into the hero complex of the main character and it gets weird and off putting in the best kinds of ways. If you like Death To Smoochie, you will probably like it.

    Conan the Destroyer. I absolutely love it and won’t apologize for it.

      I’m actually the opposite, in the early 2000s it was hailed to me as being “as good as Pulp Fiction”. Rented it at blockbuster and was really excited, at the end of it all I thought was “that was hot pretentious garbage”. I revisited it during Covid lockdowns, still a shit movie

      The usually-religion-themed God Awful Movies covered it. At the end of the previous podcast, two of the hosts were excited, and the third was confused as to why. The episode opens with those two bickering - like ‘who the fuck went back in time and replaced the awesome movie I remember with this piece of shit?’

      And listen, I was there with you. I saw it in the ideal setting: at a frat rush. It was camp as hell, but energetic and surprising. If I sat down to watch it again I think I’d be deeply disappointed.

    Wagons East was one of my favourite movies growing up and my fam would watch it many multiple of times.

    It has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

      In a similar vein, I absolutely love John Candy’s last film, Canadian Bacon. Every time I rewatch it I go “man I forgot how funny that film is!”

      Checking rotten tomatos its not quite as badly panned as Wagons East! (0% critics / 33% audience vs 17% critics / 52% audience) but seems like a good candidate for this thread nonetheless

      Brief synopsis:

      The president of the United States has successfully ended every war the country is involved in and is facing abysmal odds of re-election, so his team decides to start a second cold war, this time against Canada. John Candy plays a former weapons factory employee now sheriffs deputy in Niagara Falls NY, laid off with his friends due to the plant closure, and seeing the propaganda, they decide sneak across the border to stir trouble in Canada, losing one of their team who’s caught and taken for a free mental health evaluation in Ottawa, so now they must take a trans-canadian road trip to “save” her

      I thought the scene washing up in the river was pretty funny.

      “Huh, cold water usually does the opposite to me.”

        See, I actually think a lot of it was funny! I just watched it a few months ago after learning it had a 0%. I hadn’t seen it at that point in at least a decade, probably more. I also watched it with my partner, who had never seen it so she wasn’t blinded by nostalgia for it.

        It’s not the greatest comedy ever produced or anything, but it’s not 0% worthy.

          I remember my parents renting it when it came out on VHS. I think the river scene was too much for them and they turned it off at that point.

          I think I tried watching it again at some point but didn’t really give it a shot. Put it on while doing something else maybe. I’ll try one more time for you TheTot.

      Wait, people don’t like that movie?

      That’s like not liking Tommy Boy. Or Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid
