Mega64 Movie Club: Ace Ventura Pet Detective
"ALRIGHTY THEN!" - Guess the movie :) So yeah, we've all heard the quotes and impressions (at least we did on the playground decades ago), but how much do we care about Ace Ventura now? We all watched it again (some of us for the first time) to see if there's something still there in the ol' birdcage or doghouse or whatever.
Next week's episode is BABYLON.

the second movie is so much better!!
I remember this movie being funny. Now I feel bad.
"Snowflake" the dolphin, huh? Thanks WOKE media >:O
Love the mention of Young Frankenstein, that's been my favorite movie since I was a kid. Agree that it is timeless. Would be an awesome Movie Club episode!
Just want to thank Shawn for his clear empathetic viewpoint. It's a silly not very goof movie, but right now with politicians introducing more anti-trans and drag bills than any other type of legislation, it's hard to even hear people describe these scenes. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, this actually did have a lasting effect on how a lot of people look at that particular topic in a mocking or unaccepted fashion. It may seem easy to wave this off as a silly forgotten movie that no one really thinks much about anymore, but I've personally seen that whole subplot and how it played out referenced pretty frequently in recent years. Just earlier *today* I saw some dumb post where someone made a big deal about a goddamn Catwoman toy being sculpted with a "bulge" rather than just being completely smooth and wouldn't you know it, the very first and most "upvoted" response was a Finkel/Einhorn reference. Shirts with Jim Carrey plunging his face are still up for sale on some popular graphic-tee websites right now. Definitely not posi-vibes.
I get a thrill anytime someone acknowledges the existence of Ace Ventura Jr. because the last time I got physically ill was some 14 years ago and when staying home watching daytime cable - Cartoon Network ran a marathon of it and I was too out of it to look for the remote. So I just laid on the couch for a day going in and out of sleep and watching Ace Ventura Jr some 3 times. It's ingrained in my mind.
full range of emotion in the reactions, for this Jim Carrey comedy wow
Honestly based Shawn for the compassion towards transwomen. That scene hurts so much, check out the documentary Disclosure on Netflix for a closer look at how it set back trans acceptance.
BRENDAN AND NAATU WON LETS FUCKING GO
