- Sahara: McConaughey is Neither Indiana Jones Nor James Bond
Nor National Treasure. Nor Lara Croft. Nor Uncharted. So was the movie any good? Frank from the No Flicks Given Podcast joined us this week. Frank says the movie is "fine." He also says we rated it too low. Frank is a legit screenwriter, partner to fan-favorite guest Amanda Kusek, an awesome podcaster, and a fantastic guest. This might be our best episode yet!

In this sleeper horror hit, McConaughey plays the adult version of the son of a Demon Slayer…or maybe a serial killer? And maybe McConaughey is a Demon Slayer…or maybe a serial killer? Do we take a brief detour into the realm of flat earthers and sasquatch hunters? Yes. Nobody reads these anyway so I’m not going to try to end this with a coherent thought.

EDtv: McConaughey Shtupps Jenna Elfman & Defeats Big Brother
So get this: Brian Grazer watches a short film made in Quebec and fights to get the film rights. Ron Howard uses his ginger powers to direct. They get a star-studded cast: Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Ellen DeGeneres, Woody Harrelson, Rob Reiner, RuPaul, Jay Leno, Martin Landau, Merrin Dungey, and Clint Howard just to name a few. They put it all in a blender, and out comes EDtv. But is it a delicious chocolate milkshake or a bullshit vegan wheatgrass California Health Shake? Listen to find out!

McConaughey claims to be a better attorney than the one who represented Christ himself. But will that moment of levity overshadow the heaviness of this film? Not a chance. This was a rough one to review (what with the slavery and graphic scenes of brutalization of human beings and all) but we still had a good time and we think you will too!

In a pre-Y2K world concerned about the effects of technology on society, Jodie Foster and McConaughey still find time to fall in love. Jodie Foster is a hardcore scientist and McConaughey is a man of the cloth (without the cloth) who does not like technology. What would his character have to say about you listening to this podcast? How strongly would he oppose your daily screen time? In today’s world, distractions are available at the press of a button and (wait a moment while I check my Instagram)...ok so anyway, what was I saying? OK, now I have only 2 minutes to add a BeReal and my friends get pissy if I don’t add one…OK, that’s done and you have my full attention. Yes, I do think that some technology has made society worse in some ways, but DoorDash is pretty good. Except that the gig economy might be destroying the labor market as we know it. I say we organize and demand better paying jobs! I’ll get on that, right after I beat this round of Candy Crush or whatever...

No, this is not a time travel episode, but MM plays a deputy who becomes the sheriff under suspicious circumstances. 40 years later his son is elected sheriff and is obligated to investigate the potential crime(s) committed by his father. This movie is highly critically acclaimed, but did Johnny and Mark enjoy it?
