2005’s Be Cool. It’s just like Pulp Fiction – except everybody is much older and the writing isn’t as good! Dwayne Johnson plays Vince Vaughn’s gay bodyguard who dreams of being a big-time actor. If you like dated music references and loud mouth chewing, THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU. It has it all: Travolta plastic surgery, Andre 3000, a speech about cultural appropriation, and DJ in a full-on cowboy outfit. Oh, and don’t ask us to explain the plot of this movie. It can’t be done. It’s crazy. It’s weird. It’s very 2005. It’s Be Cool. Also!! New Rampage contest!! Red Notice gets a release date!! DJ buys his dad a Cadillac!! Please remember to rate/review/share the show! If you know a jabroni in your life who doesn’t listen, are you really doing your job?
