Summary

Comedian Ritch Duncan joins us, to talk about Good Luck Chuck, starring "comedian" Dane Cook, in a poignant film about love lost, found, and crotch-biting penguins. Meanwhile Dan makes a plea for exploitation filmmakers to stick to their guns, Ritch explains when to allow a bird to ingest its own feces, and Stuart encourages our audience in an act of vandalism against video stores across the nation. 0:00 - 0:32 Introduction and theme. 0:32 - 1:35 Welcoming special guest host Ritch Duncan, stand-up comic, and former editor-in-chief for Jest Magazine, and former writer for PRI's Fair Game and Comedy Central's Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn. 1:36 - 41:00 We upchuck Good Luck Chuck - a movie which, by the way, is about as unfunny and unpleasant as the first part of this sentence. 41:01 - 45:35 For the very first time, a movie manages to break the Final Judgement segment of The Flop House. 45:36 - 54:02 The sad bastards recommend. 54:03 - 55:12 Goodbyes, theme, and outtakes. Two notes, one good, one bad: The GOOD: I've discovered how to compress these files further, so that, going forward, the shows will not be monster 80 MB downloads. Sorry about the size of previous episodes. You'll note that this one, despite being nearly an hour, is a svelte 25 MB. The BAD: This episode has an (extremely, extremely quiet, but still noticeable) constant stream of background chatter. I do not know why. Most likely, the headphones for my TV were switched on, and near the mic, while recording, so that we could not hear this ambient noise during the session, but it got picked up on the podcast. Sorry about that -- it won't happen again. In the meanwhile, why don't you pretend that you're listening to this episode on old-fashioned terrestrial radio, and what you're hearing is the next channel in the AM dial bleeding into this one. It'll make you feel like you're on a long road trip with your parents... except that your folks are inexplicably listening to three foul-mouthed guys kicking a movie while it's down. Enjoy!

Welcome to this week's guest host, Rich, a stand-up comedian of many years, a writer for TV and radio, former editor-in-chief for Just magazine, New York City's only and best humor magazine for a while there.

1:09.8

Thank you, it's good to be here, I'm happy to be here, it's been, if I had to watch this wretched fucking abortion, I'm a movie with anybody, with YouTube guys, it's actually been some laughs and it has been, actually it was awful, fuck you.

1:31.8

Yeah, let's spoil the podcast. I want to start off by saying, maybe this one will be good.

1:41.8

It's become fashionable among stand-up comedians to badmouth Dane Cook, now Rich you are a stand-up comedian, would you like to jump on that train?

1:53.8

Well, I would like to jump on that train a little bit, I don't think Dane Cook is a good stand-up.

2:03.8

I think he's an able stand-up, I'm not going to jump on the train and be one of those guys that says he's awful because he's successful.

2:11.8

I admire the guy's success, I think he works hard, he's got a tremendous work ethic, the way he promoted himself is great.

2:17.8

I think he found himself to be promoted beyond his skill set a little too soon.

2:23.8

Does that have a lot of energy, I see him running around on stage?

2:26.8

Well here's what bothers me about this movie in particular, should we get into the movie?

2:30.8

Yeah, let's get right into the movie.

2:32.8

The thing that bothers me about Dane Cook in this movie is he is poor in it.

2:38.8

He's not doing well.

2:40.8

He's not doing well.

2:42.8

He's not doing well.

2:44.8

His character has a tremendous amount of money which has never really explained and we can get deeper into that.

2:52.8

But he does not do a great job in the movie comedically.

2:56.8

However, the movie is also directed so poorly that on the several occasions when he does something where you go,
