Step Brothers – Podcast Review

Brennan Huff and Dale Doback are both about 40 when Brennan’s mom and Dale’s dad marry. The sons still live with the parents so they must now share a room. Initial antipathy threatens the household’s peace and the parents’ relationship. Dad lays down the law: both slackers have a week to find a job. Out of the job search and their love of music comes a pact that leads to friendship but more domestic disarray compounded by the boys’ sleepwalking. Hovering nearby are Brennan’s successful brother and his lonely wife: the brother wants to help sell his step-father’s house, the wife wants Dale’s attention, and the newlyweds want to retire and sail the seven seas. Can harmony come from the discord?

   This may be a cheat, as I’ve only heard about half of the ‘cast so far, but there’s a resounding YES to that question at the beginning. Your tearing a new arse into an already arsed flick is hella funnier than those which get showered with praise. Listening to the Q just venting his spleen on this masterpiece of shit cinema put me in stitches. Ferrell would certainly have been better off keeping with mature comedy/dramas like Stranger Than Fiction, imho.

     glad you enjoy it man, remember we watch it so you don’t have to. All you have to is sit there and giggle inanely as we get so fucking furious about fucktards making dumbshit movies that we forget where we are…

     ahem.

     i remember John C Reilly in Chicago. he was good in that. he has so much more class than this piece of shit.

     and Will Ferrel. more stranger than fiction, less anchorman.
     (i like anchorman, but fer fuck’s sake….)

   funny how you bash John C. Riley.
   I haven’t ever seen him in a comedy but in gangs of new york and aviator he was quite good.
