Mega64 Movie Club: Stranger than Fiction
In 2006 Shawn saw a film that changed his life forever: the Will Ferrell comedy-drama Stranger Than Fiction! This film is about Harold, who is a mentally unstable IRS worker, and one day starts hearing narration that starts to affect his day to day life. He slowly learns he is the protagonist of a book being written by Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson). Does Shawn still like this movie? Does everyone else still think it's lame? Tune in to find out!
Next week's episode is MAGIC MIKE!
P.S. Our episode of Friendimension this week had some technical snags. It'll go up in the next couple days. Sorry about that!

Movie Club has been my favorite patreon exclusive series so far. Discussion over media is honestly what you guys do best, and it's what has kept me listening in on your podcasts for 8 years. I really hope this series stays even after the quarantine.
Finally started tuning into these, very good discussion! Gonna make this part of my weekly routine for sure.
looking forward to more, thanks guys.
Thanks for the laughs gang
2006 had some great stuff, including Casino Royale, Blood Diamond, Volver, Letters From Iwo Jima, Babel, Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, The Departed, The Queen, Jackass 2, Miami Vice, United 93, Slither, and one of the dumbest movies ever, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.
I haven’t watched this yet, but I went to high school with the kid from this movie and he was a dick. Hope they hated him.
For the Magic Mike episode, you should all dress up like Sexy 64
Pumped for the Magic Mike talk. Soderbergh is my favorite director & it will be cool to see your guys’ take on a movie that has a lot more depth and artistic merit than it probably deserves. Wrote an essay about just the rave scene for a film site & always enjoy revisiting the flick.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. I feel like its not perfect; namely the ana pascal character being just so over the top and inconsistent. I'm glad you guys mentioned the love subplot being poorly executed; the "I want you" line and the amount of repetition there made me feel very uncomfortable. But besides that I had a lot of fun watching this. Dustin Hoffman's character and that scene where he finally believes Harold because of "little did he know" because he taught lectures based on "little did he know" is a highlight for me.
It’s telling me the video is restricted?
which magic mike? the XXL one?
