What happens when an eccentric ex-soldier, an abundance of butt jokes, and 80s action tropes collide? Buckle up for a wild ride as we dissect the cult classic "MacGruber" on this week's We Recommend Podcast! Join us as Jesse kicks things off with his gut-busting first impressions of this absurdly funny film. We compare "MacGruber" to other SNL movies, situating it in the comedic middle ground, and delve into the directorial brilliance of Jorma Taccone. From initial resistance to cult status, we share how "MacGruber" fought its way into our hearts and highlight its blend of surprisingly good practical effects and hilariously bad CGI.
Ever wondered how a mullet-wearing hero's unconventional tactics can lead to comedic gold? We share personal anecdotes of discovering "MacGruber" and celebrate its clever nods to 80s action flicks. The comedic genius of Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, and Val Kilmer shines through as we recount some of the film's most memorable scenes—think awkward recruitment tactics, inappropriate exchanges, and explosive misadventures. We dig into MacGruber's explosive rage and sarcastic demeanor, revealing the comedic appeal behind his absurd character and outrageous antics.
Prepare for laughter as we break down key moments like the celery stick gag, the chaotic missile room scene, and the profanity-laden funeral. The evolution of comedy in action films gets a shout-out, as does MacGruber's absurd obsession with his Miata. From cult classics to new favorites, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a comedic analysis you won't want to miss!
