The hosts discuss the film The New Guy, exploring its bizarre elements and various related topics.
Our exit today has us playing some funky music. This week, we are talking about The New Guy, written by David Kendall and directed by Ed Decter. Along the way, as we try to determine what works and doesn't in this bizarre movie, we also talk about The New Girl , a Big Trouble reunion, Lyle Lovett's acting career, Eddie Griffin, Boy Meets World , the Mean Girls musical, Unfaithful , Francis Ford Coppola, on-screen fonts, bloopers, and one of the most uncomfortable, unfunny scenes we have ever seen on this podcast. Plus, we try to rank all of the bizarre cameos in the movie! Theme music by Jonworthymusic. Powered by RiversideFM. CFF Films with Ross and friends. Movies We've Covered on the Show on Letterboxd.
