GBW #28: Ridiculous (Dirty Work / Lost & Found / Freddy Got Fingered)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, Ryan and Chris return to a traditional three-film episode with a discussion about studio comedies with an unconventional comedian in the leading role. The basis for this episode stemmed from the unfortunate passing of Norm Macdonald, and we decided to pay our respects to Norm by discussing his 1998 starring vehicle "Dirty Work," a very lewd, offbeat, and funny comedy that aims to skew the archetypal Robert Simmonds production (who produced every Adam Sandler film from "Billy Madison" to "Little Nicky"). We then move to 1999's "Lost & Found," starring another SNL alumni, David Spade, in his first (of three) solo starring vehicles. It's right there in the title, that it should be lost and never found. Finally, we finish with a discussion, though it's more of an existential crisis in real-time, of Tom Green's absolute money burn middle finger to studio comedies, 2001's "Freddy Got Fingered."
