SE02EP50: Goon (2011)

For Sarah's final time in the driver's seat, we watch the 2015 political military thriller Eye In the Sky, featuring Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman in one of his final film roles.

Sarah's penultimate pick for her month of hosting duties is the 2011 sports comedy Goon.  Not to be confused with The Goonies. Or indeed the Goon Show.

We've reached the meaty middle of Sarah's month hosting the podcast, and to mark the occasion she has plucked a made for television film from her childhood memory bank. Is the nostalgia factor strong enough to drag the rest of us along?

In the second week of Sarah's takeover of the podcast, she subjects her cohost Cameron to a film by one of his least favorite directors.  But can he look past that and give a glowing review to Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox? Spoiler alert: he cannot.

Sarah takes over hosting duties for the month of June and she kicks things off with the 2020 genre bending time loop romantic comedy Palm Springs.  

It's the last of Glenn's month of movie takeovers, and this week he has his coworkers watch the Irish comedy Waking Ned Devine.  But did his cohosts think it was divine? Sorry, that's the best I could do.

Marlo Brando brings back his iconic Vito Corleone, but in a comedy about a Komodo dragon. Works better than this concept pitch might suggest.

It's Glenn's month for choosing the films and this week he has selected the slapstick screwball comedy What's Up, Doc? starring Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neil. But are his fellow cohosts as fond of the film as he is? Tune in and find out.

Glenn takes the reigns of the podcast and for his first choice of film he picks the 1997 Australian comedy The Castle.

The last of the comedies of Cameron's formative years, we have 1996's Waiting For Guffman, the directorial debut of the king of mockumentaries Christopher Guest.
