ENOUGH KID STUFF. WE'RE GETTING BACK TO GRITTY ADULT INTENDED MOVIES. Today we watched the Shaggy DA, the hit sequel to the Shaggy Dog. Did you miss our Shaggy Dog episode? DON'T WORRY. IT DOESN'T EXIST. Many fan theories insist that the the Shaggy Dog cinematic universe actually begins with the sequel and if you watch it in reverse it's the story of a dog overcoming nearly impossible odds to become a crooked human lawyer. More on that in the episode. When successful lawyer Wilby Daniels...

WE'RE BACK. Okay this one, as usual, is on me (the editor). BUT THIS ONE IS CRAZY YALL. WE'RE BACK WITH A BANGER. Loving Vincent is like stop motion, but harder. Like a hand drawn animation, but way way way harder. Every frame is a painting done in different art styles and giving a glimpse at the potential life of Van Gogh. I DON'T TYPICALLY WRITE THE SYNOPSIS CAUSE MY BRAIN IS BAD BUT THIS ONE WAS TOO COOL TO NOT TALK ABOUT. TUNE IN NERDS.

NO YOU'RE PRETTY. This week we watched Pretty In Pink! From mild creeps to major creeps, this movie has it all (and like really nice stuff too or whatever). Do these two burly men have the modern male empathy to appreciate a romcom from the 80s or will they fall even further into their classic misogynistic ways??
