Gutting the Sacred Cow

About Gutting the Sacred Cow

Gutting the Sacred Cow invites guests to argue why some of the most financially successful, beloved or acclaimed films are trash or overrated. But here's the twist, the film must meet 1 of these criteria: widely beloved, financial success, or critically acclaimed. Standup comedians Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel love films and they love arguing about them.. But will they agree with their guests arguments or feed them into a wood chipper? We give a platform with those who have unpopular opinions to be bold enough to voice them. What are some films that have faced scrutiny: Back to the Future, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, the Dark Knight, Toy Story, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Matrix, and Die Hard. Can the guests persuade us or do we rip them a new one? Give us a listen and we'll easily prove that we belong on any top movie podcast list. We throw plenty of fun segments in the mix: 5 fun facts, our readers have us ask our guests questions they'd like answered in "Ask a Gutter", critics 5 and 1 star reviews and our FAVORITE segment, reading Amazon 5 and 1 star reviews.; You'll never go down a more fun rabbit hole than hearing crazy people asking for refunds while submitting their personal info for payment. We also give you movie and TV recommendations in our bonus segment aptly titled, "What Did We Watch" So if you want spirited movie debate and wonder what the hell is wrong with some people who hate some of these treasured films or if you secretly agree these beloved movies are awful, this podcast is for you.

   Gangs of New York: why the film is almost as bad as DiCaprio and Diazs' accents

   Bill the Butcher is easily one of the top movie villains of all time. And everyone's favorite morning show host, Bill Schulz, returns to explain why Daniel Day Lewis carries the carcass known as Gangs of New York across the finish line. Bill wants to get knuckle deep on the Martin Scorsese film that wrongfully allowed Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz to try out Irish accents for 3 hours. Joining Kevin Gootee is his hirsute pal, Kevin Israel, to see if Bill's disgust for Gangs of NY is worse than a mouthful of rancid cunny juice. The boys also discuss the disappointing filmography of Cameron Diaz as well as KGs distaste for Irish folk music. Of course, they also try to figure out how awful everyone in the Five Points must have smelled at that time and why Daniel Day Lewis is the undisputed greatest actor of our time. Tune in to the latest episode of "Gutting the Sacred Cow" as Bill Schulz takes center stage to argue why "Gangs of New York" isn't as great as it's cracked up to be. Joining hosts Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel, Bill dives deep into the flaws and shortcomings of this Martin Scorsese classic.
