Making Me Watch Movies
There’s a new gold standard in film criticism, and it’s three guys with microphones and absolutely no credentials.
Jake is a connoisseur of Asian cinema and films that remind you what it means to be human. Matt prefers movies about deeply disturbed people—the kind that leave you wanting to take a long, scalding shower. And Anthony? He loves "basic" movies, the kind that make you feel like a red-blooded, flag-waving American.
Together, they curate the most eclectic, unpredictable, and undeniably superior film library (which, to this day, has never repeated a director—because we have taste). Each episode, they force-feed you cinematic greatness and then aggressively debate whether the movie was actually worth your time.

Making Me Watch Movies
The Great Outdoors w/ Dan Aykroyd and John Candy feat. Haig Hovnanian
The movie you're making us watch today is The Great Outdoors (1988)! This classic John Candy and Dan Aykroyd comedy throws us into a vacation from hell, complete with bear attacks, speedboat mishaps, and Aykroyd’s relentless one-upping. But this time, we’re not watching alone—our guest and good friend Haig chose this movie, so you can blame him for all the 80s nostalgia, dad jokes, and questionable vacation planning. Does The Great Outdoors still hold up, or is it just another relic of its time? Grab a plate of Old 96er and join us as we break it all down!
