Year One (2009): Was It REALLY That Bad?

About this episode

The episode revisits the 2009 comedy 'Year One' to evaluate its reputation and whether it deserves a second look.

We remember watching Year One and not being particularly impressed. We don't remember hating it, but we don't remember much about it either, and let's be honest, that's almost worse. Was this prehistoric comedy starring Jack Black and Michael Cera really as bad as people said, or is there a reason it has completely vanished from our memories? Join us as we revisit this forgotten 2009 comedy to find out if it deserves a second look... or should stay buried in the Stone Age.
