Merry Christmas, we brought you the gift of Anthony Michael Hall in his directorial debut Hail Caesar from 1994. Not the Coen Brothers movie, but a movie about a huge jerk who gets everything he wants in life. A wannabe rock star names Julius Caesar (yep, his real name) makes a bet with his girlfriend's father that he can make $100,000 in 6 months, if he loses he can never see his lady love again. This is apparently based on a story by Mark Twain, but I don't remember Robert Downey Jr. in The Prince And The Pauper. We also get Samuel L. Jackson as a mailman, Frank Gorshin doing Clark Gable impressions, needless dutch angles, bat shit crazy performances, horrible music, and a girl with big boobs. Enjoy!

204: "More Farts, Please!" - Daddy Day Camp (2007)
Not since we watched Grand Daddy Day Care have we seen a movie as lazy as Daddy Day Camp. The second in the greatest film trilogy in this galaxy, this film follows Cuba Gooding Jr. (replacing Eddie Murphy and playing the same character) as he forgets everything he learned from the first movie and applies it to running a camp. Even though he establishes in the first scene that he hates camp, he buy a camp in the second scene. Lots of poop, farts, and vomit in this one. It also has a scene with SNL alum Brian Doyle-Murray which is why we watched it for our stupid podcast. Enjoy!

203: "Look To Your Left, Look To Your Right, One Of You Will Eat Poop" - Young Doctors In Love (1982)
And of course, Hector Elizondo appears in Young Doctors In Love. We've covered a few Garry Marshall movies but this is the only one at least one of us enjoyed. A split decision on this as George thinks it's an absurd delight and Ben thinks it's a tonal mess. Starring SNL alum Michael McKean this movie features Taylor Negron selling pills to MacGyver, Hector Elizondo in drag, Dabney Coleman getting punched in the face, a dwarf doctor, nurses with big tits, and Sean Young. Garry Marshall loved him some comic bits, which begs the question, is this what The Other Sister starring Juliette Lewis as a mentally challenged teenager like? We may never know since nobody who has ever been on SNL is in that film. Damn the rules of our podcast! Enjoy!
