282: "Always Have A Backup Plan" - Harold (2008)

We watched Harold from 2008 featuring SNL alums Chris Parnell, Rachel Dratch, Colin Quinn, and Jim Downey.  Written and directed by former SNL writer T. Sean Shannon, this was based on a short film that aired on SNL and follows Spencer Breslin as a bald 13 year old who acts like an old man and gets fingers up his bum.  This was a colossal waste of time but does include a solid performance from Cuba Gooding Jr, possibly our favorite that we've seen for the podcast (that is, until we watch the Dr. Ben Carson biopic).  Enjoy!

280: "Dennis Miller Buys A Coke" - The Net (1995)

The Gatekeepers didn't want you to hear this podcast.  They crashed our computers, they corrupted the files, they made the audio shitty.  But we persevered and completed it anyway.  We watched The Net from 1995 starring Sandra Bullock and SNL alum Dennis Miller.  Half way through the episode George's laptop crashed and we originally thought this was gonna be a lost episode.  I couldn't export half of it so I had to rig another laptop to record the audio from the first laptop that had the recovered file on it and...who really cares?  Point is, we were able to salvage it but George's audio sounds a little crappy.  So if you're wondering why we tease last week's episode at the end of this one, that's why.  The movie is barely worth talking about anyway, the best scene involves Dennis Miller buying a coke at a pharmacy.  So, Enjoy!
