230: "Who Likes Frank Caliendo?" - The Comebacks (2007)

What a difference over 200 crappy movies makes.  Back in 2007, George watched The Comebacks starring SNL alums David Koechner and Finesse Mitchell and directed by the guy who gave us Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star.  It was so terrible he broke the DVD he burned it on so it would never be played again.  Flash forward to 2020 and The Comebacks is one of the best movies we've seen for this podcast.  Unfairly lumped in with the spoof movies from Friedberg and Seltzer, this is a funny movie with good jokes and an actual story you can follow from beginning to end.  There are a few visual sight gags that are just references to other movies of the time, but for the most part the movie will turn a reference into an actual character or storyline.  Listen to George and Ben talk about their new favorite movie.  Then again, this could all be some kind of insanity.  Remember, this is the podcast that is pro Jack And Jill and Holmes And Watson.
