There's Something About Mary (EP29) with Miguel Rivas
In this episode, some of our best friends don’t know our names with the 1998 Farrelly Brothers comedy THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.
We’re joined by special guest Miguel Rivas (The Beaverton, Baroness Von Sketch Show) and after getting our mind’s blown by learning how much money this movie made at the box office, we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with the underrated comedic brilliance of Keith David as Mary’s stepdad. We discuss how effectively the film moves through so many different styles of comedy, Shane defends Diaz as his choice for the movie’s MVP, and we all give it up for the epic “Puffy” dog fight. We then move onto the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all its troubling gay panic humour. We ponder whether or not the Farrellys Trojan-horsed in offensive jokes, Miguel stands up for both Brett Favre AND Sarah Silverman, and finally we do a deep dive on the infamous hair gel scene.
