This week on Total Movie Recall, Ryan gets his hipster comedy credentials revoked after Steve makes him pay $3.99 to watch the 1994 not-so-classic comedy, Cabin Boy. Ryan simply cannot understand the cache this movie has in the \\u201calt-comedy\\u201d world, or as he likes to call it, the \\u201cnon-comedy\\u201d world (now that\\u2019s funny!). Steve would explain it, but you just, like, don\\u2019t get it man.

Nathanial Mayweather is a spoiled rich kid whose plans for a ritzy Hawaiian cruise backfire, finding him lost at sea with a gang of salty old sailors. When his crusty cabin mates get a whiff of his highfalutin attitude, they give him every rotten chore on the boat -- and take him on an absurdist adventure through Hell\'s Bucket!
