Get ready to shake and bake with special guests Christina and Mac Hare from World of Horror Podcast as we talk a blue streak about the hilarious and heartfelt 2006 Adam McKay/Will Ferrell comedy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. We explore how a film this funny manages to lampoon with love, we praise the many brilliant performances that elevate the movie above simple comedy (with special emphasis on Gary Cole, Jane Lynch, and our universal MVP John C. Reilly), we dive into Cal and Ricky's deeply flawed yet sweet friendship, we feel the motor running up our legs with Molly Shannon’s riotous scene-stealing performance as Mrs. Dennit, we trade our many favorite quotes, Georgia gives her spot on impression of Texas Ranger, and we revel in the absurd hilarity of the American/French rivalry embodied by Will Ferrell’s Ricky Bobby and Sacha Baron Cohen's Jean Girard. With all due respect, rev up your engines and give us a listen, because if you ain’t first, you’re last!
