They Called This a Movie Episode 100 - Pootie Tang (2001)

Get ready to sine your pitty on the runny kine, my damies, as we are in celebration movie. It's our 100th episode and we're taking this moment to talk about the movie that inspired the name of our main website: The Main Damie. In 2001, a TV writer took a character he created for The Chris Rock Show and tried to make a feature length film out of it. Then, the studio butchered it and we got one of the worst put-together movies that still manages to be consistently funny. We watched Pootie Tang, and all we can say is SAH DAH TAY!Clap it up, my hammies, for this one as we don't necessarily see eye-to-eye with this one. Some of us love it, while it leaves some of us scratching their heads. Either way, we watched it and we bring this episode to you. So head to Biggie Shorty's, as we discuss everything from steel mill gorilla maulings, Bob Costas's excellent comedic performance, and try to figure out how we should feel about David Cross's role in the film. You can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Podcasts. If you want to see more from us, check out the website and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.  We are now part of Geek Vibes Nation, so be sure to check out their website and to look for us on their future podcast shows. This week's episode features music from Dave Katusa and you can follow him on Instagram. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.
