The man, the myth, behind our intrepid theme song, Cory "Ether Diver" Casciato joins us to pick apart the absolute juggernaut that is WEDDING CRASHERS, to try and figure out why on Earth this, of all films, was the first R-rated comedy to ever hit $200 million at the box office. Was it simply the power of Vince Vaughn's motormouth coke energy and Owen Wilson's laconic charm? We discuss the "Frat Pack" era, when the dominant strain of mainstream comedy was immature manchildren trying to reconnect with their past, and discuss how foreign that feels now that we have arrived at the ages of the characters in this film.
