Klown

Celebrating Father’s Day by discussing 2010’s comedy Klown starring Frank Hvam (30:30). It’s crazy. It’s gross. It’s Danish.

But first in Quick Cuts (2:45) we discuss: Dr. Doolittle, Nope theories, LIEMAX theatres, Top Gun: Maverick, a few Corrections and Retractions, cats like Oscar Isaacs, we play a Dan Hedaya guessing game, and a Scott Take involving the Russo brothers.

And we give our favorite “dad” movies (2:28:00).
