Robin Hood: Men in Tights Review | The Cary Elwes Problem

This week we review Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It was Jacob's first time seeing it, and he loved almost everything about it except the one guy it's named after. Sorry, Cary Elwes. We get into our favorite characters (Achoo steals the whole movie), our favorite scenes, who we'd recast as Robin Hood, and why the joke-every-15-seconds style of comedy from Mel Brooks and Airplane has mostly disappeared. We also debut a new Wavelength-style rating system, where Josh has to rate the movie somewhere between warm fresh bread and spoiled milk. Plus: Josh pitches some truly terrible movie ideas, Jacob goes on a tangent about Norse heathenism, and Josh reveals the next actor challenge: Kurt Russell. Brother, What a Movie is a production of Jacob and Josh Strong. Outro music by Kale Higby. Thinking of getting Starlink?
