Almost Heroes

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE! Thought the gang was done? Nope! A surprise podcast to end season 2 of the show! We end season 2 of the show and go into season 3 in a couple hours with a tribute movie reaction to Matthew Perry, and the gang does it with one of Perry’s most under appreciated movies ever, as he teams up with one of the greatest comedic actors ever, the ever lovable Chris Farley! The story begins in 1804, a drunken tracker named Bartholomew Hunt about to be hanged. When all of a sudden, a man named Leslie Edwards arrives to pardon his execution! He has a motive behind halting this execution, he would like Hunt to join him on his journey to chart a map to the Pacific Ocean. There’s one problem, Lewis and Clark have already began their journey to the Pacific. Now Hunt and Edwards have joined a crew of bumbling idiots, a priest, and a translator who wants the men to keep eyes off his “property”, his woman. Now the two must brave the wilderness with the unlikely group of men and brave Native Americans, wild animals, and for some reason Spaniards! The men and the leaders of course have their differences, and wow is it big differences. On a stop at a tavern the men lose their translator, who has since bitten off the ear of Bidwell, one of the men in the group. They lose him to an unlikely Spanish villain only known as, Hidalgo. Hunt though, comes to the rescue, in a weird way. He challenges the men to a drinking duel, which this drunken idiot, WINS! Edwards soon begins a love interest in Shaquinna, the Native American who was owned by the French translator Guy Fontenot. A very awkward love interest. This movie then goes on to continue some weird adventures, wacky slapstick comedy, and lines that you just don’t expect to hear. Join the gang as they finish off 2023 with a hilarious underrated and under appreciated Chris Farley and Matthew Perry movie, Almost Heroes!
