Week 120 Spotlight: ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!
Hollywood is no stranger to bad ideas. But sometimes, the powers that be in the movie business come up with an idea so bad, you can’t help but wonder what they’re thinking. This week, Hollywood raises the bar for stupid ideas with the announcement that George Lopez will star in a Speedy Gonzalez movie.
As you would imagine, Joel Murphy and Lars have quite a lot to say about this new film. They also share their thoughts on Tony Kornheiser’s suspension by ESPN, the profiling of skinny white guys and the hiring of David Goyer to write the script for Warner Bros. Superman reboot.
Is there a way to make a George Lopez Speedy Gonzales movie entertaining? How does Chris Kirkman feel about Hurley? What is Joel’s big surprise announcement? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Despite the fact that I’m laughing my ass off, you guys can kiss my monkey furniture. Lars, I’ll only say that payback – she eez a beetch, seenior… provided I can drive the General Lee over to the next county to the reach the nearest phone.
For the record, you never put moonshine in a shaker unless you want a trip to Hazzard General.
Oh, and Atomic Hurley rocks my world.
Peace. For now. Beetches.
P.S. – Joel, don’t think you’re in the clear – I may have a surprise guest to comment on your Asian women driver’s stance…

Hey you guuuuuuuuys!
I have an opinion about this Hannah Storm thing: Freedom of Speech vs. Slander. He was toe-ing the shit out of a very thin line. And Joel, your point about honest feedback from Storm’s (X-Men flash) crew about her appearance echoes Christian Bale’s misdirected “Cookie Monster Voice”. People need to stop them; with nothing less than stoic reason they need to reach out, grip their shoulders and tell them “you look like a silly whore” or “you sound like the Cookie Monster, and it is ridiculous.” And with a slightly sad, yet knowing nod – walk away.
And I like the “fourth branch of the government” classification of the Media. I’ve never heard that before.
P.S. It was Willie Baldwin and it was ‘Fair Game’.

You should have that Kirkman guy on more often. He’s wicked smart! I can’t tell you how many research questions I get on the subject of “atomic bricabrac.” The Hurley analogy alone is going to revolutionize physics as we know it!
And regarding the whole Hannah Storm thing: yeah, her outfit was stupid. Yes, that guy was an asshole to say those stupid things about her. ESPN only suspended him to please the sponsors. That’s the only reason any of those people are ever forced to apologize or get suspended. It’s not for our benefit, or Ms. Storms, but for the sponsors.
You know I’m never going to stop correcting you. Because you’re too lazy to fact check before you start running your mouths. So it goes.
My favorite Baldwin is Jayne Cobb. Even if he is kind of annoying in real life.

Speaking of correcting, I now have to correct myself. That should read “Ms. Storm’s.” Possessive. Yeesh.
