Episode #471: It's Absurdist, It's Disturbing, It's 'Buddy'

Casper Kelly might be most famous for his this-shouldn't-be-so-creepy comedy short "Too Many Cooks." Now he's got his feature directorial debut on his hands (but don't sleep on Yule Log 2, according to Alonso), and It's Buddy, a comedy horror that owes a debt of gratitude to the insistent cheerfulness of Barney the Dinosaur. We'll get into all that, and then talk about some of our favorite times TV crossed over onto the big screens.What's Good:Alonso: kouign amannDrea: Minnesota State FairKevin: Costco beltITIDIC• Summer U.S. Box Office Hits All-Time $4.76B Record: How Audiences Surrendered To Moviegoing• Telluride’s Top-Secret Film Was a Documentary and people are abuzz (You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes doc)Staff Picks:Alonso: We Are PatDrea: Oasis: Don't Look Back in AngerKevin: Colony (Gunche) Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
