Episode 106: Grimsby featuring Al Bates

from Your Favorite Bad Movie Podcast · host Chris Andersen

Al Bates is back and he's brought something that left a real impression the first time, Grimsby (2016) a.k.a. The Brothers Grimsby.  Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t doing his usual routine of playing an exaggerated caricature around real people attempting to get heightened reactions, this time he’s just a soccer hooligan that teams up with his long-lost brother (Mark Strong) who happens to be an MI6 spy.  Full of gross out/extreme humor, this Louis Leterrier comedy did better outside of the US upon release, but it didn’t really light any fires, except in the hearts of the few who have enough sense to just laugh at fake genitals, human or non-human.  Certainly a film that has made strong choices that causes strong reactions, we’re getting into it all today, so tune in!
