#163 - Very Bad Things | Directed by Peter Berg (with Guy Bradford)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as friend of the show Guy Bradford returns to his guest chair once again for a review and recap of Very Bad Things, the 1998 black comedy that follows the ludicrous and murderous consequences of a Las Vegas bachelor party gone tragically wrong. The different ways in which this movie’s utterly ruthless and cynical sense of humor hits the hosts, trying to determine if this has any queer-coding going on, Urban Dictionary’s various definitions of “flyboy,” and the cult leader vibe that Christian Slater exudes here comprise just a few of the topics for this episode.

Written and directed by Peter Berg, Very Bad Things stars Jon Favreau, Christian Slater, Leland Orser, Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Cameron Diaz, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tyler Cole Malinger, Joey Zimmerman, Kobe Tai, and Russell B. McKenzie.
