“It’s the f***ing Catalina Wine Mixer”!
In the second episode of our F*cked Up Families theme, The Movie Newbie turns away from the darkness and into the (slightly disturbed) comedic light with Adam McKay’s 2008 cult comedy classic Step Brothers. Starring one of the all-time comedic duos, Mr Will Ferrell and Mr John C Reilly, the story (if you can call it that) follows the absurd rivalry that develops between two forty-year-old men after their parents get married to one another. It’s filthy, it’s immature, and it's arguably a masterpiece. In this recording, we jump between serious-minded debates about the status of modern comedy and rattling off our favourite quotes from the film. Enjoy!
