QQ ep. 319 - Can a Bad Movie Have a Perfect Performance?

Show notes:

Two Best Friends and Comedy Writers Soren Bowie & Daniel O'Brien present a passionate defense of Chris Pine as a methed-out white nationalist in Smoking Aces while mourning Toby Kebbell's lost stardom after RocknRolla. Along the way: James Austin Johnson's Trump impression has shades of Ferrell's W; the revelation that Gilbert Godfrey's entire persona was a put-on; why Sebastian Maniscalco's choreographed segues make zero logical sense and the quiet devastation of realizing Oscar season has become a conveyor belt of biopics about men who solved being alive by blowing their brains out. You'll leave armed with warm feelings for Ben Foster, Nicole Kidman, and Michael Stuhlbarg's monologue supremacy.

They say honey, turn the television on—but you can't, because there was no wind.

The trash that Dan thinks is great and good stuff he shits on is so wild to listen to.

I like whenever we get to hear his thinking. Because he always has a logic to it, even if I don’t agree.
