This week we go out there into the world and discuss things that make no sense, but make sense, and then don’t make sense, only to make sense again eventually. No, not the new Shyamalan film, but the latest film from Jay and Mark Duplass: Jeff, Who Lives at Home. Check out the show below:

Loved The Avengers apology!
Especially the “I’ll be the bigger man” comment. I would have said it was the funniest line of
the show but that goes to the crack about civil aviation laws in Jamaica. LOL
While I thought Safe House was okay, it basically felt like
a Tony Scott film that was not directed by Tony Scott. I also thought that they made Denzel too much
of a “hard man”. In the final act he
walks around like he is untouchable which is just ridiculous.
I will say that Ryan Reynolds was rather good in
Adventureland…I will defend that film, cannot say the same about the rest of
his filmography.
His Girl Friday is a classic, loved the film. The way the dialogue flies off the actors
tongue is just fantastic.
Ye. I don't know what it is… I first realized Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder and just was sold on the charm that he exudes. In recent years though it seems to have completely worn off. I now see him as a useless shell of an actor that is playing the Hollywood game and is servant to the shitty scripts he ends up doing, unlike other actors who can (at times) elevate above those scripts even if they do those movies.
