"Land of the Lost" - The Most Hated Comedy of All Time
About this episode
The episode discusses the infamous comedy 'Land of the Lost', exploring its failures and unexpected charm.
Land of the Lost is a disaster on almost every level… but is still one of Kade’s favorite movies. We break down how Universal bought the rights to this movie with the sole purpose of putting Will Ferrell in it at the peak of his career, and how it still managed to flop harder than almost any movie in Hollywood history. We talk about why this is the only movie Will Ferrell and Danny McBride ever made together and why that alone makes it worth watching. We get into how the original creators of the TV show publicly apologized at Comic-Con and called it one of the worst films ever made. And we discuss why despite all of that, this movie gets exponentially funnier every single time you rewatch it.
