CB4 and Fear of a Black Hat: Which is the Better 1993...

The Gag Reel Podcast ·

2021/09/07

In 1993 two films came out, one shortly after the other. One, an indie darling that took Sundance by storm and received plenty of critical praise but barely made a whimper at the box office. The other, a bit more of a studio flick that made about double its budget back at the box office but didn't really gel with critics. Both were parodies of the state of gangsta rap at the time that were heavily inspired by 1984's This is Spinal Tap, and both had many instances of similar jokes and story beats

Three Amigos

The Gag Reel Podcast ·

2021/04/06

The 1986 John Landis directed film Three Amigos is an interesting one. On one hand, the simple sitcom-esque style leads to a story and structure that never breaks quite the new ground needed to herald the film as a true classic. On the other hand, many of the jokes are so good it should be considered a real absolute classic. The comedy trifecta of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase shouldn't be understated. Written by Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels and (believe it or not) Randy Newman, today
