This week we cover a movie none of us picked! 🙃 BUT glad we got to review it... another classic quotable comedy, with an Olympic edge - Blades of Glory. With a cast that rarely falls short providing laughs, this movie is based around the concept of two male ice skaters banned from competing in their normal category deciding to come together to challenge the rules and social stigmas by joining forces as a pair. Does this arguably underrated buddy comedy measure up to the other ones we've discussed? Is it one of our favorite Will Ferrell flicks? Does anyone else see Jenna Fischer and only think of Pam? Do we discuss breakfast foods yet again?? Tune in!
