For Brandon | Two Degenerates Watching Heat at 5 A.M.
For the first time in three years, DeGen Cinema’s Andy S sits down behind the microphone without his co-host, creative partner, and one of his best friends in the entire world, Brandon Bombay.
Following Brandon’s unexpected passing, Andy looks back at the unlikely friendship that eventually became DeGen Cinema - from two degenerates arguing about movies on the internet, to a bizarre conversation at five o’clock in the morning that changed everything.
This is the story of how Brandon came into Andy’s life, how two deeply flawed movie obsessives somehow turned their friendship into a podcast, and what it means to lose the person who sat on the other side of that screen every week for the past three years.
There are stories to tell, movies to talk about, and a whole lot of shit that probably never should have made it onto a microphone in the first place.
But this one is for Brandon.
We love you very much.

There's Something About Mary (1998) | Getting J*zz In Your Hair On A Date
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay get their frank and beans stuck in their zippers while rushing to talk about one of the funniest movies of all-time, 'There's Something About Mary.' Bombay starts off the episode by recalling a date hookup that got messy on several levels.
Then the boys dive into this Farellelly Brothers classic that's jam-packed with standout performances, but it's Matt Dillon's bumbling scumbag private eye Healy who walks away as the MVP. From resuscitating a dog he drugged, to complaining about his "damn Nepalese coins," he's constantly finding the best say-the-wrong-thing humor in his performance. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz is effervescently stunning, and charming as the eponymous Mary, as she has to ground the film while surrounded by raging lunatics, all while hitting great comedic notes. It's no wonder this film brought out wild aisle-rolling reactions from audiences when it hit theaters in the late '90s and redefined gross out comedy, but still maintaining enough heart and charm. Ben Stiller's starring role is a career-best physical performance, as he convincingly portrays getting his junk wrapped up in his zipper, and fights a dog in one of the funniest uses of a dummy ever caught on camera. That's all without mentioning Chris Elliott's genius comedic timing, and Harland Williams' gonzo 7 Minute Abs cameo. Similar to moviegoers in the '90s, this episode will have you rolling around so much with laughter that you'll be calling everyone "roller pig."

Vanilla Sky (2001) | Sleepwalking to the Bar
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay celebrate the podcast's three year anniversary by covering a Cruisemas movie that was specially requested by a listener to talk, 'Vanilla Sky.' Andy opens it up with a dreamstate story involving Ambien that had him questioning his reality, by ending up in the wrong situation. Then the fellas tackle one of the most ambitious big budget movies of the 2000s that is very emblematic of its era. The film opens with one of the most jaw-dropping scenes of the decade in an empty pre-9/11 Times Square, and then proceeds to bite off more than it can chew, but offers a compelling ride. It's a glimpse at a bygone era of NYC, and a bygone era in cinema where Tom Cruise offered a personal performance before his well-publicized breakdown. Along with the meta-Cruise role, is Penelope Cruz who reprises her role from the original Spanish-language film the movie is based on. Her charm, and angelic face jump off the scream, and she even graces the audience by losing her clothing in one intimate scene. Juxtaposed to her effortless charm is Cameron Diaz's manic turn as the vengeful love whose body gets lied to and spouts, "I swallowed your c** that means something." The film also marked the peak of Cameron Crowe's Hollywood reign, as his career went on a precipitous fall after failing to grapple with a perplexing third act. Unlike Crowe, Degen Cinema is not slowing down as we're grateful to all our maniac listeners who've been along for the ride the past three years, and counting.
