The gang RSVPs yes to the greatness that is Bridesmaids. We discuss the evolution of female comedies and the role this played in changing the landscape, our favorite comedic scenes and performances in the movie and the existence of ugly carrots. Plus, dance monologues, getting kicked off of airplanes, and wedding speeches for our chosen movie character brides.

Oh wow, Owen Wilson is in a Woody Allen movie. The IDYP crew takes a dream Parisian vacation that turns into a nightmare in the form of Midnight in Paris. We discuss fantasy vs. sci fi time travel, the lack of fucks that we give about the characters, and whether Owen Wilson is a good actor. Then, dad vs daddy, time travel companions, and Ben and Brandon as your tour guides of famous French landmarks.

Another foreign gem finds its' way across our paths as we watch the OSCAR winning Iranian film A Separation. Emily enlightens us about the history of the political strife in Iran and the Green Movement, Ben talks about the pull-the-rug-out-from-under-you storytelling of the movie, and Dylan provides indisputable evidence that he can read. Then, a divorce among friends, Escape From New York slander, and talking our way out of custody of Wesley.

We invited on Fincher fanatic Ra'Shawn from When Cinephiles Attack this week to discuss The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. We put Ra'Shawn on an island and force him to pick his favorite Fincher movies, mourn this trilogy that never was, and try to schedule which holiday this movie should have been released around. Plus, proper highlighting technique, the newest detective team, and varied references to movie basements.

The wheel of trash lands on the first, and hopefully worst, movie of 2011 for us with Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. We chat our favorite Happy Madison movies, where this thing went wrong and if any part of it is salvageable, and our reactions if we discovered our parents were pornstars. Plus, Midwestern porn titles, comedy Stockholm Syndrome, and porn movies built around Wes and Ben. No foolin'.

This was a deeply affecting movie for us here at IDYP as we watched Melancholia. We discuss our personal struggles with depression and the lens this movie provided into that world, seeing former child stars topless, and all of the crazy theories that Ben had of what is beneath the surface of this movie. Plus, surprise diarrhea, a great St. Elsewhere reference, and wacky inventions.
