Gigli with Jen D'Angelo
The first "G" in "Gigli" is pronounced like the "J" in \u201cJacques,\u201d the second \u201cG\u201d is silent. Rhymes with "really." Now that that\u2019s out of the way - we conclude our Martin Brest series with the turkey of all turkeys. The Bennifer original sin, the project that should have gotten Justin Bartha put in prison. That\u2019s right, folks. We\u2019re talking about one of the canonical \u201cWorst Movies Ever Made\u201d - 2003\u2019s GIGLI. Screenwriter Jen D\u2019Angelo joins us to talk about this fascinating cultural object, and makes a case that Ben Affleck is \u201cgood in this movie, actually.\u201d Griffin and David disagree.
