Aya and Kevin take on STEP BROTHERS (2008).
This week, Aya squares off against Adam McKay and Will Ferrell's ode to man-children, STEP BROTHERS. Our dynamic duo deconstructs why a 40-year old man wearing a Yoda t-shirt isn't nearly as funny in 2020 as it was in 2008, and how this movie ended up predicting the exact type of man-baby who would go on to dominate popular culture for the next twelve years. Plus, generous discussion of just how radiant Mary Steenburgen is in a movie of men who look like absolute garbage.
