Ep 226: Be Kind Rewind (What About Bob)

Bob Wiley wants you to know there are two kinds of people in this world. People who love Neil Diamond and people who don't. This week on Pop Culture Pastor, Dave & Cody revisit Frank Oz's What About Bob? (1991) in a Be Kind Rewind. The Bill Murray comedy turns 35 this year and might be the most documented on-set nightmare in Hollywood history. We dig into what holds up (the pacing, Dreyfuss as one of the great comedy villains of the 90s, peak-era Bill Murray), what doesn't (the third act goes completely off the rails, modern mental health audiences would have notes), and the full story of the Murray-Dreyfuss feud — from a 1978 SNL appearance that started it all, to thrown ashtrays, crushed sunglasses, and producers tossed in lakes.Plus: we Muppetize the movie, Cody breaks down why this film couldn't be remade today, and Dave makes the case that Dr. Leo Marvin is every dad who confused providing with being present.Bonus: the Blair Witch Project reboot is happening, and we want to hear from anyone whose parents took them to see it in theaters as a child.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod
