Hate Watching Poolman

Send us Fan Mail What do you get when you mix a Scottish honeymoon burglary, a Nintendo DS heist, and Chris Pine's directorial ambitions? A rollercoaster episode of "Hey Watch It with Dan and Tony!" We kick off with Dan's personal tale of a honeymoon gone awry in the scenic lands of Scotland, leading us into a chat about Chris Pine's debut, "Poolman." Critics may have thrown shade, but we stir the pot by suggesting it might just outshine the Coen Brothers' classics, even the sacred cow, "The Big Lebowski" (which we might call overrated). From Pine to Coen, our discussion zigzags through the beloved filmography of Fargo's creators. Tony can't help but throw some shade on "Fargo" itself—blame those Minnesotan roots! We exchange blows over our favorites, from the hilarity of "Burn After Reading" to the misfires like "Hail Caesar." Amidst this cinematic battlefield, "Poolman" emerges as a breath of fresh air, free from cynicism, much like the joyous "Fired Up." We can't help but celebrate those films that whisk us away from life's daily grind. As we cruise through L.A.'s filmmaking maze, we scrutinize the narrative potholes in "Poolman," from perplexing plot twists to character motivations that take a wrong turn. But fear not, as we lighten the mood with quirky password anxieties and a nod to Melissa McCarthy's comedic ventures. It's a smorgasbord of film critique, personal tidbits, and future episode sneak peeks—all wrapped up in our usual banter. So grab your metaphorical popcorn and join us for another wild ride!
