Ep 033 // Uncle Frank

Published: July 26, 2021, 10:11 p.m.

This week, Tate claims that the boys have been reviewing too many movies in the '90s and wants to bring us back down to earth a bit with 2020's Uncle Frank, starring Paul Bettany. We discuss why this film just didn't quite hit the mark for us, where it could have maybe been better, the few aspects that we actually did enjoy, and John Candy.

P.S. If you don't know who John Candy is - Jacob won't believe you.

This movie was directed by Alan Ball.
