    Harlem Nights (1987)

    What’s better than a mobster classic told by three generations of great comedians? Trying to follow this piecemeal ADD train of random quotes as we chug our way over to New York (aka Los Angeles) for Eddie Murphy’s action-comedy cult classic, “Harlem Nights” (1989), of course. In this critically panned, fan-adored, Gen X fever dream, Richard Pryor plays club owner and “numbers” boss “Sugar Ray” (yes, seriously) who is contending with the scheming likes of disgruntled gangster “Bugsy Calhoune” (no, we’re not kidding) played by the late, great Michael Lerner. Bugsy is not-so-silently fuming over the classic black vs white slight of being second to a highly successful black man, when he turns to corrupt cop “Phil Cantone” (Danny Aiello) to exact a particularly insidious form of street “justice” as he attempts to shut Sugar Ray’s down. The film leans heavily on the comedic prowess of not only Pryor, Murphy (“Quick”), and Redd Foxx (“Bennie Wilson”) but also that of Della Reese (“Vera”), and Arsenio Hall (“Crying Man”) among others to create a romping good time filled with gags, jabs, and fun. Join our krewe as we discuss the importance of films like “Harlem Nights” in establishing a cultural benchmark for the “Ava DuVernay” and “Hobbs” tests, the generational translation(s) that are required to enjoy such films, and just the general fun of quoting some of the film’s most iconic lines like “Kiss my entire ass”, or one of the 133 times the cast drops the F-bomb.  How did Hannah feel about this 80s classic? Does Matt finally find his voice? Will Terry and Garrett just recite the entire movie back to each other? You’ll need to listen to find out! Just bring your ass and check out “Harlem Nights” already and don’t forget to hit us up on socials and/or rate, review, and subscribe!

    Blazing Saddles (1974)

    It's time to saddle up and schlep out west.  Although, with some of the modern choices in this noodle kugel-western you could probably strap on your seat belts.  This week we're rolling our 3CG wagon train out to the wild west with Mel Brooks' 1974 classic, "Blazing Saddles". This movie has a lot to say about racism, sexism, and fill-in-the-blank-ism, in a way that is sure to make you laugh, cringe, maybe even re-evaluate some of your own biases, and then cringe again.  This raunchy comedy follows Bart (Cleavon Little), a black railroad worker who becomes the unlikely sheriff and hero of a racist western town. With the help of his partner Jim (Gene Wilder), Bart sets out to bring some justice, enlightenment and laughs to a town filled with bigoted buffoons. Brooks’ use of crude humor and outrageous antics both leave you in stitches and shine some much-needed light on the prejudices that unfortunately still exist today in a way that doesn’t feel like Mongo’s clobbering you over the head.  Join our own gang of misfits as we explore the film's cultural significance and the behind-the-scenes drama that made “Blazing Saddles” a comedy classic. Will Terry refrain from inappropriate comments? Did Matt feel like he was watching something he shouldn't? What GenX hill is Garrett ready to die on? And how will our resident progressive, Hannah, just flat-out ruin the film for everyone involved? Come along for the ADD wagon ride to hear our Krewe’s unique perspectives on the film's themes of race, identity, and the power of humor in broaching sensitive subjects.  One thing’s for sure: this episode is a wild ride. So, grab your cowboy hats and get ready for a rootin' tootin' (emphasis on tootin’) good time as we explore the hilarity and social commentary that only a Mel Brooks comedy can provide. Oy! Don’t forget to follow us wherever you get your pods and join us, podnuh!

    Rebel Without A Cause (1955)

    TW: There are heavy and pointed discussions of suicide and ideation.  For those of you struggling with those thoughts, we suggest skipping this, or parts of this episode.  If you or someone you know needs help, please dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to speak with someone.  Help is available. You’re never alone.  There’s no need to walk in the dark. . . . Buckle up, 3CG fans, because this week we're diving back into the apex of teen drama and angst with the OG 1955 flick, "Rebel Without a Cause". Another golden Hollywood oldie from our own golden-haired Hollywood old soul.  It becomes increasingly apparent how this movie set the (sound)stage for so many franchises to come as Hannah and the boys delve into the movie that made James Dean an icon and makes us wonder why they were called the silent generation because they sure made a lot of noise.  James Dean stars as Jim Stark, a misunderstood teen who despite his best intentions, always ends up in trouble. Caught in the middle of his parents' strained relationship and constantly searching to find a loving group of his own, Jim turns to an unlikely crew of characters, played by Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and Ed Platt, to supplement the missing affections of his milquetoast, middle-class family. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well. Join the krewe as we explore the darkest inventions wrought by teenage angst, the eternal quest for acceptance, and the real behind-the-scenes drama that made “Rebel Without a Cause” a classic. How often does Terry mention James Dean's flawless skin? How uncomfortable will Matt get? Will Garrett offer any insight that doesn't make Hannah roll her eyes?

    Adventures in Babysitting (1987)

    Well, 3CG-ers, this is episode is one for the record books. Sticking around in the 80s which means you probably already guessed this is another of Garrett's picks. We were in a time crunch recording this one so we kept the ADD train on the tracks for what is probably our speediest episode to date.  In his directorial debut, Chris Columbus is at the helm of this Elizabeth Shue lead comedy. Elizabeth plays Chris who has to venture into the big city to save her friend Brenda (Penelope Ann Miller) with her two charges, Brad and Sara, (Keith Coogan and Maia Brewton), and Brad's best friend Daryl played by the talented Anthony Rapp.  How the heck could a family-friendly comedy romp through the big city have problems? Oh you know we will find a way to make you uncomfortable.  What's Matt's reaction to him being filtered out of the last episode as background noise? How often do Terry's bowels make themselves known during this episode? How is it possible Garrett brought this episode in as quickly as he did? How does Hannah pull off the greatest titular quip of all time? You'll have to listen to find out.

    El Dorado (1966)

    Giddy up, 3CG fans! This week, the gang is taking on a classic western with the 1966 John Wayne film, "El Dorado". From shootouts to horseback rides, this movie has all the elements of a classic cowboy flick. So grab your cowboy hat and get ready for a rootin'-tootin' good time! In this dusty old western, John Wayne stars as a gunslinger who teams up with his old friend (Robert Mitchum) to help a man reclaim his stolen land. If you're a fan of tired plots and even more tired acting, then this one's for you! Get ready for a heaping helping of corny one-liners, a cringe-inducing scene with James Caan, and enough horseback riding to make even Roy Rogers envious. This episode is sure to be a hoot, with Matt leading the charge, Terry bringing the humor, and Hannah and Garrett offering their unique perspectives on the film. Will Terry survive a cattle drive? Will Matt ever learn to ride a horse? What surprising-insights will the gang uncover as they delve into "El Dorado"? Tune in to find out!
