Rat Race (2001)
About this episode
The episode discusses the 2001 comedy film Rat Race, exploring its merits and flaws.
We’re racing back to 2001 for Rat Race. Is this an underrated comedy classic, or do you need some serious nostalgia for this kind of dumb, over-the-top slapstick to still work? Does the movie’s decision to keep its foot on the gas for nearly two hours make it more entertaining, or eventually just exhausting? How the hell do these people commit so many felonies and never have the cops come looking for them? And did the Baja Men really think “Rat Race” was going to be their follow-up hit to “Who Let the Dogs Out”? Grab your locker key, stay the hell away from the squirrel lady, and remember: there are no rules. We tackle all of this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:45 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:15 - Pertinent movie details •0:10:30 - Critical and fan reviews •0:19:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:33:00 - Modern day ratings ———————————————————— LIVE PODCAST- October 10th in Cedar Rapids, IA- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-confused-breakfast-a-live-podcast-recording-tickets-1026951990047 —————————————————————— SPONSORS- **Butcher Box- Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first…
