Sometimes you just want to watch a silly, goofy movie. And if anything is going to fit the brief, it’s Rat Race (2001) — a film that may have been lost to the annals of history but certainly not by us. This episode, we’re covering this blast from the past with guest Shea from Shea’s Scare Lounge. When you have comedic icons like Whoopi Goldberg, John Cleese, and THE Mr. Bean, how could you not have a good time? Aside from the absolutely stacked cast, we talk about the downfall of slapstick comedies, ‘90s music nostalgia, and where this movie falls prey to early aughts cringe. Surprisingly enough, this movie also has something to say about how the rich take advantage of the poor, reality TV, and why all problems can be solved by Smash Mouth.
