Melania's Documentary Got Murdered By Wo...

About this episode

Ricki's racing through Oscar-nominated films and declared Ever Had Legs is trash despite loving Rose Byrne. The Melania Trump documentary is the talk of the town—it cost $75 million to make (with $35 million going straight to Melania as an appearance fee), only grossed $7 million, and got absolutely destroyed by critics. The best review started with a formatting correction: they accidentally gave it one star when they meant to give it zero. Fox News is claiming it's the most successful documentary in 10 years, which is technically true but only because docs rarely get cinema releases. Joel had to explain to his Kiwi fiancé Jack who Margaret Pomeranz is and the gay gasp could be heard from space. Listeners shared their worst cinema experiences including Evita having "too many songs in the musical" and Jar Jar Binks ruining Star Wars.
