Dirty Sons of Pitches

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are close to finishing the 1990s examination of film, leading to the final year, one that stands as one of the greatest in movie history. The guys have taken on even more this week, starting with the failed pilot from a lot of comedy heavies, "Heat Vision & Jack," the dark side of "Babe" with the TV movie adaptation of "Animal Farm," and then Martin Scorsese's "Brining Out the Dead" with Nicolas Cage.

Episode 404 includes:

-Trailer reactions: "The Crow," "Good Times," "Wicked," and response to the "Quiet on the Set" doc series. 

-Nate says "The Beekeeper" is an enjoyably bonkers Jason Statham action movie. 

-Ben says "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" is a fun if lesser adventure for the larger fandom. 

-By the Decade -- 1999 -- "Heat Vision & Jack" / "Animal Farm" / "Brining Out the Dead"

-The guys discuss the much-heralded failed TV pilot co-written by Dan Harmon, directed by Ben Stiller, and starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson as the voice of a sentient motorcycle, then the TV adaptation of George Orwell's classic allegoray "Animal Farm" about the Russian Revolution, and finally Martin Scorsese's overlooked fever dream of Nicolas Cage struggling with life as an EMT in "Bringing Out the Dead."
