First, great episode, I haven’t listened in a while and really enjoyed this one.
Josh- Mean Girls? Booooo you whore that’s actually a good movie.
Evan- White Chicks is just not a good movie. I think there’s ample untapped opportunity to poke fun at white humor, ala ’stuff white people like’, especially with white females. But, that movie is just awful. It does a really superficial job of poking fun at really easy targets. Plus reverse black face has never been so tacky. Where was Tremmors?
As for me: My brother has, in general, pretty horrible taste in movies (think Employee of the Month and Troy). So I scoured his binders of DVDs for a good guality guilty pleasure to list here but all I could find was Bad Santa. It’s crass, extremely crude,and I would never think to tell someone to rent it, plus it uses midget humor. But, it’s a funny movie that uses Billy Bob Thornton well. Also, Cast Away, but I won’t defend that one.

I’ll concede that White Chicks is a bad movie, Deborah, if it means you concede Stuff White People Like is actually a funny blog.
And shoot, I love Tremors. It’s an awesome movie.
