We then begin the case for putting it on the pedestal with the tour de force performance of Kathy Bates (8:37). We talk about the iconic sledgehammer scene (15:33), the prescience this film had on the rise of toxic fandom (30:17), and Mike makes the argument that Annie Wilkes is just a very effective creative director (46:36). We move on to the case for keeping it off the pedestal with the general “TV Movie” quality of the film (51:36), the myriad problems we all had with the ending (1:03:51), and we fiercely debate whether or not Wilkes uses a racial slur (1:07:37). Finally Mike wonders if the movie tips too far into being just “suffer porn” (1:11:07).

The Pedestal Podcast presented by Mike on Much: "Dumb & Dumber”

Sat, 27 Oct 2018 00:56:00 GMT

Mike and Shane join award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Popalis in their new spin-off “The Pedestal Podcast” presented by Much Studios, where they discuss and debate whether certain movies still stand the test of time.

In this episode, we’re telling you there’s a chance with the 1994 Farrelly Brothers comedy DUMB & DUMBER.

We begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with Jim Carrey’s powerhouse comedic performance (6:22), and whether or not Jeff Daniels may have actually outshined him (13:21). Shane explains how Lloyd’s dream sequence changed his life (18:51) and Pops takes a stand on the merits of the film’s ending (21:46). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with Mike taking issue with all the “annoying humour” (26:37) and then how the added scenes in the unrated version reveal some of Dumb & Dumber’s biggest flaws (28:00). We get into the piss drinking cop (32:47), Pops blows Shane’s mind with a huge plot hole (36:06), and we explore why Seabass hasn’t aged well (42:49).

The Pedestal Podcast presented by Mike on Much: "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”

Sat, 27 Oct 2018 00:03:00 GMT

Mike and Shane join award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Popalis in their new spin-off “The Pedestal Podcast” presented by Much Studios, where they discuss and debate whether certain movies still stand the test of time.

In our very first episode, we only work in outer space with the 1986 Leonard Nimoy directed sci fi flick STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME.

After a quick rundown of why we wanted to make this podcast in the first place (2:23), we first lay out our varying levels of fandom for the Star Trek universe, or “Trekker-ness” (6:30). We begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal by diving into Star Trek IV’s sense of humor (10:03). We talk about what Shatner brings to Captain Kirk (18:43), how the special effects have held up (24:33) and which member of Starfleet stole the show (32:50). We then move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal starting with Shane’s problems first with the probe (34:55) and then the whales (43:37). Pops takes issue with the love interest (52:00) and we all debate Chekov and his “nuclear wessels” (54:55).
