South Park + The Aristocrats

Skeptical comedy double feature! Saddam Hussein and capital punishment. To bleep or not to bleep. Replacing obscenity with silly phrases. South Park’s relationship with Hollywood. Censorship then and now. Is South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut still relevant? Yes…Yes it is. Censorship in the modern digital age. Musical numbers. Trey’s Band DVDA. When meta works and why. Real life clashes with canonical events. Evolution of characters. Mr. Garrison. Where are Ned and Jimbo? Pip! The Isaac Hayes Chef Scientology incident. The Aristocrats movie theater experience. George Carlin. More on joke format. The thought process as you’re telling the joke. The Aristocrats as a trap. The origins of “Too Soon!” and why Double Feature loves Gilbert Gottfried. Don’t sue us, Joe Franklin. Continue reading →

Orgazmo + The Matador

A word about Southland Tales and No Country for Old Men. The dream rule. Michael coins the term “candy.” What is and isn’t funny. Paint-by-numbers film. “Hamster style.” Censorship. The beginning of what will surely become a multitude of feminist rants from Eric. Exploitation/empowerment of women in pornography. There isn’t enough male nudity in film. This isn’t a goddamn review. Solid scenes. Missing scenes. An interesting plot mechanic. All about characters. Realistic delivery. Michael does an impression of Eric ranting about camera work. Mexico is badass. How to handle death. The innocence of a child is a fucking myth. Crafting a double feature. Continue reading →

Team America + Cabin Fever

Team America: World Police. The puppet thing. Eric’s blender. Libertarians are awesome. What’s wrong with Matt Damon? Oh yeah, Ben Affleck. Puppets and suspension of disbelief. Michael Moore is a poor film marker and a fucking liar. MONTAGE! More graphic brutality. LOLCats is where humor goes to die. Eric begins horror with Cabin Fever. Eli Roth: genius or oblivious? The return of slow zoom. Zack Snyder thinks that’s what you want. Horrifying banjo score. Stereotypical horror characters. Michael hates the paranormal. The best ass shot in cinema history. Shaving your legs at the end of the world. Trying to talk about scare shots. Jokes about racism that aren’t intellectually bankrupt. Continue reading →
