"3 alcoholics and a diabetic desperately avoid talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special for 42 minutes."

I watch this every year on 9/11. Its somewhat of a tradition.

Hearing Mike casually bring up Alex Kurtzman without vitriol or bile is really something. How drastically things change in a decade.

Ishtar if it was underwater: THESE MEN ARE PRAWNS

Notice how when Mike drops the awe-inspiring "Back to 9/11", he stares at Rich until he laughs, like he won't consider his joke did the job until it hits Rich

Mike and Jay are like an old couple where the husband has dementia but his wife has heard all his stories so many times that she remembers every detail.

Half In The Bag but every time someone says the word 'Ishtar' the entirety of the Ishtar trailer plays

jay is literally 200iq but only when it comes to trivia about cinema and Mike

Every year the total count for the number of times I've seen the entire Ishtar trailer climbs drastically.

I like the implication of the George Lucas smashing every bootleg quote in that he admits he doesn't own a hammer.

Mike's trip down the path of gutter alcoholism is graceful because Jay acts as his living memory.

Annual holiday rewatch gang

Why are they arranged in a sliding scale of baldness?

This is the magnum opus of changing the subject to avoid talking about a subject in any conversation of all time & space.

At this point, my most watched movie trailer of all time is Ishtar

This is exactly how Joe Pilato would like to be remembered. Drunk and in a bathrobe.

It’s hilarious that Mike asks Jay’s permission to tell the Joe Pilato story because he knows Jay is going to end up telling most of it.

It's that time of year everyone.
