Dan and Brian have a lot to unpack this week on The Goods: the tradition of blockbuster family comedies, cartoon adaptations, Jay Ward, Brendan Fraser, and the Bo Diddley beat. Why are three children with a horse? Did Snidely Whiplash do anything wrong? Is the narrator God? Is Christopher Showerman a real person?
Join as they review three films -- George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right, and George of the Jungle 2 -- in an especially silly episode of The Goods: A Film Podcast.

Dan and Brian check back in on two franchises they'd previous reviewed, the first of the show's "Do We Gotta?" topic revisits.
First, Brian talks through the bizarre, campy finale to the Zombies trilogy of Disney tween musicals. Does the film bring proper closure to the supernatural racism metaphorical universe, or is it best avoided?
Then, Dan breaks down "Five Cream," the new Scream movie. They talk through the questionable villain revelations, the themes of toxic fandom, and overlaps with previous Scream entries.

Brian shares with Dan an epic-scale comedy from the mid-60's, a classic "roadshow" style film complete with intermission and pie fight. Join as they parse Jack Lemmon's all-in performance as the Professor Fate, the dated politics, and other memorable examples of the large-scale racing-themed movies. Dan recasts the movie in 2022, and Brian shares the film's prodigious personal influence on him.

![Bears (2014) vs. Grizzly Man (2005) - Amazing world of bears]()
July 6, 2022
"Violent Ends" is back! Our semi-recurring format -- where we compare and contrast two movies with similar set-ups but very different conclusions -- gets a bear-themed outing. Dan shares two documentary excursions to Katmai National Park in Alaska to document some ursine friends.
First up is Bears, the 2014 family-friendly Disneynature film, where (surprise!) John C. Reilly narrates a year in the life of three bears. Then, Dan and Brian discuss the tragic fate of Timothy Treadwell, the bear-obsessed conservationist as they talk through the Werner Herzog documentary portrait Grizzly Man.

It's Brian's turn to battle a bout of COVID as he shares with Dan one of his all time favorites, Walk Hard, the musical biopic parody from 2007, in addition to its two main inspirations: Walk the Line (2005) and Ray (2004). Join as they relive the ups and downs and many quotable moments of this John C. Reilly vehicle. Dan brings some tidbits from the audio commentary track while Brian brings his thoughts on the extended edition.

It's another birthday on The Goods, and to celebrate Dan brings one of his favorites: The 2008 romantic comedy written by and starring Jason Segel. Join as Dan and Brian discuss the movie's enduring pull on Dan, the earnest treatment of breakup, the unexpected charm of Russell Brand, Paul Rudd's hysterical cameo, and the appeal of a puppet Dracula musical.

The Goods gets personal this week! First, Brian and Dan discuss the surreal drama of a man of swimming through a concrete river, facing his own (and his generation's) obsolescence.
Then, they talk through the five best years of their lives so far. No movies; just life. The Swimmer is the kind of movie to get you that way.

Happy Hanksgiving to all who celebrate! Dan shares his wild week, including a massive binge of movies starring "America's dad." Join as they discuss early Hanks home-buying comedy The Money Pit before pivoting over to their "Hanksgiving" segment where they recap the 54-movie career of the 2-time Oscar winner by picking their Top 5 Tom Hanks movies. To quote Brian: "you get a lot of Hanks for your buck." They discuss the conflicting politics of some of Hanks' bigger hits as well as some unexpected diamonds in the rough, and Dan shares some other Hanks-related Top/Bottom 5s.
