The Smartest Dumb Guys You Know

After a Kim Jung Un type of unexplained time off (we used a groupon so we could all get penis reductions and our backs are feeling much better) the show is back with more of the same nonsense as usual.

It's a very strange time in the world right now with some very weird rules that we are all learning to live by. But weird rules are not a new thing. We go through some of the weirdest laws that each state has on its books.

It seems like the end of the world is upon us so we decided to review a top trending movie that saw this coming back in 1995, Outbreak. Is it a bad movie? Not really. Is it a good movie? Not really. Are there some ridiculous things that happen in it? Absolutely.

Since nature has decided that we are all grounded and sent us all to our rooms, we decided to watch the greatest terrible movie of all time, The Room. The Tommy Wiseau project that inspired the book and movie, The Disaster Artist has become a cult classic for all of the same reasons that it only made a few hundred thousand dollars at the box office despite having a 6 million dollar budget. A cinematic car wreck that is impossible to turn away from that gets better every time you watch it. And a perfect entry to the Cinema Enema library.

Recently we had an opportunity to sit down with author Johnny Welsh and discuss his books Paper Maps, No Apps and Weedgalized in Colorado: True Tales From the High Country.

We're also making some changes here at The Smartest Dumb Guys You Know, that get explained briefly in the tweener. Long Story short... Cinema Enema will be getting its own podcast and we will be adjusting our recording schedule. Links to the new show will be posted on all social media and the new show will be available on all the same platforms that this show is on.

This week we are joined by horror film director Edward Payson. With that in mind we try to figure out who is the ultimate horror villain with a bracket to determine who the king of the evil world is. We discuss Edward's latest project, a documentary called Our Friend Jon which follows a group of friends on a mission to accomplish the dream of their late friend Jon and create their own horror film. In the headlines segment we learn about a marijuana martyr in Tennessee. Marijuartyr? And we finally end the debate on which animal can get these hands, porcupines or gorillas. 

Keep an eye out for Edward Payson's new documentary, Our Friend Jon, on Amazon Prime coming February 25th:

With the Chiefs and 49ers getting ready for the Super Bowl in a few days we make our picks on some of the more interesting prop bets that are floating around. We also talk about Kobe, a lady who defecated in a parking lot and how it probably feels to be pregnant. We cover a lot of ground in this one.

What happens when a guest bails last minute and a co-host misses the show due to technical reasons? Basically the same things that happen in every other episode, honestly. Headlines that include a custody battle that may be decided via trial by combat and weird questions that reveal that Jodi is a tiny rage monster and nobody is safe.

Remember the 2010s? It feels like forever ago but the 2010s were quite the decade. Movies, tv, music, sports, pop culture... we discuss the good, the bad and the ugly from the past 10 years. 

With just under a year under our belts we put together a few highlights from the first year of SDGYK for a New Year special. 1 hour was definitely not enough for all the big spots from the year so we will have more best of episodes in the future but this is a nice look back.

Getting into the Christmas spirit a day late and a dollar short... we take a minute to review Jingle All The Way.

The re-release of a special Smartest Dumb Guys version of The Night Before Christmas.

Believe it or not, Christmas is not just an American holiday. And neither is the concept of Santa Clause (But we did perfect both). So we decided to find out about different versions of Santa from around the world and decide once and for all who does Christmas better.

After doing this podcast for 1 year we've noticed a trend... we have a tendency to be a bit politically incorrect and hold some unpopular opinions. With that in mind we take a look at how popular opinion has changed over the years and discuss some unpopular opinions that we each hold.

The holiday season is officially upon us! Thanksgiving is a couple days away and we're getting you ready with some fun facts to impress the distant relatives that you won't talk to for another year. We also discuss the best and worst things about Thanksgiving.

Disney+ launched last week so we decided to welcome the new streaming service by reviewing the first movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Johnny Depp at peak Johnny Depp in the longest Scooby-Doo movie ever.

This week we welcome our first guest to the show! Sara Jones is the creator and host of the Laughing In The Dark podcast. Last weekend Midway was released, a film about the WWII Battle of Midway. With that in mind we found a few other historical events that need to be made into movies.

We all get this coming Monday off of work because of our veterans so to show our appreciation we have our Veterans Day episode.

It is officially the scariest time of year so we discuss the facts of Halloween. We also discuss the CA wildfires.

Do you believe In aliens?!? We might, or might not. We discuss some Interesting alien stories. We also have headlines and the WTF questions that we always do.

Another Cinema Enema and this time we're reviewing The Meg. The summer blockbuster staring Jason Statham about the extinct Megalodon. Definitely not the worst movie we've reviewed but far from the best.
