Not doing the next debates? Those two were easily some of your finest episodes

John

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!!

Michael Rops

Normally I'm totally with Heath, but not this time..... Soul Man is incredibly horrible...

Unlearning Ethics.

Woot no more debates. Your foreign listeners appreciate it.

Lurid Larsson

Blackface, double whiteface and ...heaths choice. This is a tough choice.

Markus D

Ugh, PLEASE not High School Musical. It's SO boring instead of ridiculous like the other two, and I JUST watched the Cinema Snob cover it.

Caffeinated Weasel

Back to School poll without the classic Rodney Dangerfield movie "Back to School?"

Penseur Sauvage

I know none of those, but i'll vote for eli's choice because i trust his fine taste.

Aaron M Gleason

SOUL MAN! SOUL MAN! I want to hear the guys' take on the dinner scene!

Unlearning Ethics.

They're not a source of concern on my movies podcast. It can be on literally any of their other shows.

Christopher Arguin

I notice that Heath is trying too hard to not appear racist now.

Liam Smith

Holy. Shit. What. The. Fuck. Is. Soul. Man.?!?!?!?!?!

NowhereChrissy

Not sure which choice I detest more. All of these movies are horrible. Going with Soul Man because it is SO OBLIVIOUS in its horribleness. Vintage 80’s racism I guess? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jacob Hernandez

If you fuckers choose anything other than Soul Man after watching that trailer, you have all failed me

Devil Doc Josue

Initially i chose High school musical to torment Noah, but saw the preview of Soul Man and it has to be Soulman

Peter Anthony Anderson

I only had to watch the trailer for Soul Man. Sorry Noah and Heath :/

Bill Garthright

I'm not going to vote, because I know nothing about any of them. And it really doesn't matter to me, anyway. But I didn't want my lack of voting to indicate a lack of interest. I'm definitely looking forward to whichever one you pick (as long as I don't have to watch it, myself).

TheBeardOffMyBack

Come on High School Musical! We’re paying to torture the GAM crew, let’s not wimp out here.

Justin Campbell

Ugh! Had to go with Soul Man on this one. (Yes, I'm old enough to have seen it in the theater.) HSM is too closely tied to good memories of my daughter as a child, and White Chicks has the magnificent Terry Crews.

Andi

I really need some Wildcats in here to send their votes to HSM. Please. Especially because the Disney+ thing is revamping that horror show.

Aya Sakurai

Soul Man is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life as a film buff. I can't believe Hollywood could get away with that much racism in a movie thirty years ago. Roast it, please!!

Esme

Plus they already covered the knockoff, which is worse in terms of story, songs, and as a film in general. HSM isn't even a good bad movie.

Markus D

Why would anyone think "bland middle-of-the-road Disney Channel movie" is true torture compared to something truly awful? Plus, I'm thinking in terms of entertainment here. Describing High School Musical is boring, describing the other two makes one sound immediately insane.

Markus D

Agreed. It's just a boring bad movie. Like, it's bad because it's some bland focus-grouped thing for young teens, it's not bad because it was a bad idea like the other two. I'm really happy to see that as of this comment, Soul Man has pulled ahead.

Aya Sakurai

WTAF indeed. And they have to have Andrew as the guest masochist. The whole movie, blackface and all, takes place in Harvard Law School!!

El Oso Café

I'm so gawdamn tired of race.

Tyler Pascal Kampstra

How dare you Heath for thinking HSM isn't awesome. How very dare you.

Angie

I wouldn't inflict White Chicks on my worst enemy. But I'll inflict it on the GAM crew...because I love them? Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Harold Windchester

Whats worse than a movie with a white guy in blackface? 3 white guys trying to show how offended they are by it. As a non white, i am over white guilt. Do white chicks and be properly offended for the right reason. The waynes bros should have known better.

Markus D

Talking about the ridiculousness or bad taste of some white guy doing blackface is hardly white guilt, but I agree with you about White Chicks. I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing it's more offensive towards women than "white people" in general though.

This is not the greatest song in the world; this is just a patron name.

Because I secretly hate both the hosts, and because I know your pain is, through the magic of this show, transmuted into our pleasure, I have a suggestion that I hope makes it in: Sausage Party. It's _supposed_ to be funny. It misses. It's not funny. It's badly executed cringe. So , instead it's painfully hard to watch.

Markus D

I mean... it's not going to make it in this month, but I agree that it's shit despite being ostensibly "on our side".

Markus D

I'm not familiar with many. They haven't done Zeitgeist.
