You know the drill, and hopefully you find comfort in routine. This week, they watched 1998's Chairman of the Board, a comedy aimed at nobody in particular. This episode was recorded before election night, which is pretty fun because you get to listen to two people who don't know how bad your current world is! Anyways, this is a really dumb movie so maybe it'll distract you for a few short minutes. Also Mia predicted the election, which is cool but not that difficult.

Highlights include:

• Carrot Top, on the silver screen at last!
• Fred the Horse from Over the Garden Wall (well, his voice actor).
• Sex jokes that seem a little too explicit for a PG-13 movie, but hey, what do I know?
• A discussion of Werckmeister Harmonies, Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr's bleak meditation on the death of hope.
• Umm Chia Pet Hair? Now THAT'S funny.
• A mutual headache.

Happy Halloween!

We hope you enjoy the 2024 Is it Good? Spooktacular! This year, we're checking out one of the goriest horror comedies of all time, one that desperately deserves a second chance. Also, it's directed and written by Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. So that's fun!

Look out for:

• A Nazi & Zombies, but no Nazi Zombies
• The rare stop-motion animated Sumatran Rat Monkey
• An appreciation for practical effects
• A brutal, bloodthirsty take-down of Aaron Sorkin
• The ideal Halloween party movie
• Just like, a normal regular guy who's not doin' nothin' weird
• Zombaby!!!

This episode is definitely lighthearted and fun, but it is absolutely NOT acceptable for all audiences, as it's even more explicit than usual! So consider yourself warned. If that wasn't enough though, here's some content warnings for you:

Mentioned: Sexual assault (briefly), bestiality (extremely briefly), animal death (briefly), gore, blood, offensive portrayal of Pacific Islanders.

WELCOME TO IS IT GOOD? v2.0

We've gussied it up with a new coat of shiny lead paint, and we hope you enjoy! This week, a little bit of film festival discussion (more on that later), Antonio Banderas wearing an agal, bear-people or perhaps just people disguised as bears, it's unclear. From the minds that brought you Die Hard and Jurassic Park, comes something surprisingly mediocre.
