    Episode 15: Funny Money (2006)
    Jun 25 2025
    This may be it. We may have reached the nadir of Chevy Chase's filmography with the 2006 film from director Leslie Greif, Funny Money. Based on a play by Ray Cooney, the film feels incredibly stage-bound and like a pale imitation of better screwball comedies. Hold on to your sides, they're about to be split!

    In Funny Money, Chase plays a fake fruit engineer whose boss (Robert Loggia) comes to visit his home on the same night that Chase finds a briefcase filled with five million dollars. It's just one wacky cliche after another and a complete waste of all talent involved in the film.

    Mark, Chris, and Mike experienced this cinematic car crash so you don't have to.

    Episode 14: Funny Farm (1988)
    May 29 2025
    Mike, Mark, and Chris take a closer look at Funny Farm (1988), Chevy Chase’s turn as a New York sportswriter who relocates to small-town Vermont in search of a simpler life—only to find frustration, isolation, and a town that seems determined to break him.

    Directed by George Roy Hill, the film mixes dry satire with broad physical comedy, offering a darker, more cynical take on the rural escape fantasy. The trio discuss how Funny Farm fits within Chevy’s late-’80s filmography, the tonal balance between charm and bitterness, and whether the film deserves its reputation as a solid entry in his career or a footnote.

    Episode 13: Three Amigos (1986)
    Apr 23 2025
    Mike White (The Projection Booth), Mark Begley (Wake Up Heavy), and Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) saddle up for Three Amigos (1986), the offbeat Western comedy directed by John Landis and written by Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels, and Randy Newman. The trio discusses the film’s blend of Hollywood parody and Mexican melodrama, its troubled production history, and the legacy of its three leads—Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. They also unpack the movie’s tonal shifts, musical interludes, and whether its cult status is truly earned or simply nostalgic.
