Dare Daniel – “Clifford”

https://daredaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DareDanielE018S01.mp3 Clifford (1994; Paul Flaherty) – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 18 “Shame on you!  Shame on your eyes!” In this hell-spawned episode of the Dare Daniel podcast, the Mayor of Wayward Boys-ville Daniel-ass Barnes and Corky the Scary Rex (or is it Scary the Corky Rex?) hatch a ridiculously elaborate revenge plan against their producer Johnny Flores for daring them to watch the 1994 monstrosity Clifford. This long-shelved shitpile stars Martin Short as the titular ten-year-old problem child, while Charles Grodin ignites a raging forest fire of a “slow burn” as the boy’s smarmy uncle. Recorded live over brunch and beers at Sac City Brews, the hosts obsess over Dinosaur World, wonder why a roller coaster engineer would create a setting that breaks the ride and consider replacing producer Johnny Flores with Jerry Bruckheimer, before finally blaming the entire episode on a plastic brontosaurus named Stephan.
