License to Wed

Mike White March keeps the pain train rolling with License to Wed (2007), a so-called romantic comedy that tests the limits of both love and audience patience. Chris Stachiw and Mike White are once again joined by screenwriter and podcaster Richard Hatem to dissect this cringeworthy concoction, in which Robin Williams plays a meddling minister who puts an engaged couple (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) through a series of increasingly bizarre and invasive "premarital challenges." From robot babies to relationship sabotage, License to Wed feels less like a comedy and more like a cry for help. Is this Williams at his most unhinged, or is the film simply cursed from the altar on down? The trio dives into the chaos to find out—so say a prayer and press play.

Man of the Year

Mike White March limps across the finish line with Man of the Year (2006), a film that asks: what if a late-night comedian accidentally became president due to a voting machine glitch? Cullen Gallagher joins Chris Stachiw and Mike White to unpack Barry Levinson’s bizarre genre mash-up that starts as political satire, swerves into romantic drama, and crashes into full-blown techno thriller. Robin Williams stars as a Jon Stewart-esque figure who suddenly finds himself in the Oval Office—not because of charisma, but because of...a software bug? It’s a premise that felt far-fetched in 2006 and now feels like a documentary from an alternate universe. From clunky tone shifts to baffling plot twists, the trio digs into what Man of the Year was trying to say—and why it fails so spectacularly.

Fritz The Cat

We kick off the second annual Jess Byard June with a look at one of Ralph Bakshi's more infamous works and the first animated film to be rated X: Fritz the Cat. Featuring Skip Hinnant as the titular feline, it follows the exploits of Fritz as he stumbles from one awkward scenario to another, taking the piss out of the '60s at the same time. It's a satire first and foremost but lacks a strong narrative structure to pair with some biting commentary. The Projection Booth's Mike White and film critic Josh Stewart joins Chris to talk about the film, Bakshi's other works, and the sequel.

All About Ah-Long

It's Mike White March once again, and this year, it's all Chow Yun-Fat films! We near the end of the month with a drama that shows just how bad of a father Chow can be: All About Ah-Long. Starring Chow and Sylvia Chang, the two play estranged lovers whose child is seemingly torn between a life with one or the other. You'll never see the ending coming. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the film, the chainsaw duel, and Chow's performance.

My Boyfriend's Back

Once a zombie, he must figure out why he's undead and what he can do to undo it, all the while taking the prettiest girl in school to prom. Dark Destination's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film, the performances, and why it flopped. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.
