Ep 10: Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered – Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (SPOILERS)

Title: Freddy Got Fingered [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Tom Green Producers: Larry Brezner, Howard Lapides, Lauren Lloyd Writer: Tom Green, Derek Harvie Stars: Tom Green, Rip Torn, Marisa Coughlan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Julie Hagerty Release date: April 20, 2001 SHOWNOTES: "You hear that, Collateral Cinema fans? They're my hooooves! My hooooooooooooves!!!! Listen as they go clippity-clop, clippity-clop! Hahahahahahahah!" ...Oh yeah, folks; Collateral Cinema is taking on Tom Green's (@tomgreenlive) impressively surreal, yet universally panned 2001 absurdist comedy Freddy Got Fingered! We're wholly convinced this film is far more deserving of actual film analysis than it has received in the past, so hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash dissected and analyzed Tom Green's brazenly original humor, the strangely karma-free universe the movie operates in, each and every memorable bit of writing and acting, and every infinitely quotable scene. We also dive into the heady times that were pre/post-9/11 film culture. We also put forth an argument for Freddy Got Fingered to receive a place in the venerable Criterion Collection, and we dive into the massively negative critical response to this work, and how Freddy Got Fingered achieved a solid cult following and critical renaissance in the past few years. So remember in closing, Collateral Cinema fans: "I'm the backwards man, the backwards man; I can walk backwards fast as you can! I'm the backwards man, the backwards man..."
