Out Cold (2001) Shredding the Slopes of Comedy and Political Incorrectness :)
Manage episode 395369018 series 3418151
Snowboarding mishaps, mechanical bulls, and the nostalgia of early 2000s humor—strap in as Jimmy Coates and Ana Santos take a trip back to a time when baggy snow pants were all the rage and punk rock ruled the soundtrack. Our latest episode careens down the slopes of memory to revisit "Out Cold," a film that's part comedy, part snowboarding extravaganza, and maybe a cult classic. We’re laughing our way through the standout scenes and cringeworthy moments alike that have kept this movie lodged in the hearts who loved it and those who didn't have just left it in the past like an old lift ticket in a winter coat pocket.
Zach Galifianakis's hot tub escapades, the stark contrast between critics' scoffs and audiences' chuckles, with potty humor, token black characters, and other 2000s stereotypes—this movie has it all, and we’re breaking down why it still elicits such a warm, if not slightly embarrassed, glow. We're not ignoring the elephant in the room, though: we grapple with the movie's more problematic elements, sifting through outdated slang and questionable plot points with the kind of care one might take while navigating a mogul field on a snowboard.
To wrap up our powdery plunge, we take a goggle-eyed look at how this film lands its jumps and faceplants in equal measure. Whether it's worth a watch on your next lazy streaming binge, or best left in the past along with your old snowboarding VHS tapes, we've got our hot take ready. And a heads-up: you might encounter some language that didn’t age as well as the memories. Join us for this episode that’s like the après-ski to your day: full of laughs, good company, and just a touch of cringe.
