The guys walk home drunk from 2016’s house wearing last night’s party clothes and carrying their fancy shoes. In a shitty year we watched some good movies, some great movies, and some shitty movies. This is that story.
In a stupor from a long week of working/watching Star Wars, the guys phone it in and get easily distracted by minor plot elements. Like werewolves and boobs. I mean, they’re pretty distracting and omnipresent in this movie. Can you imagine omnipresent werewolves? Holy shit that’s terrifying.
The boyz get on track with a classic movie that they’ve never seen. Does the 1984 sports drama The Karate Kid hold up? Is Rich distracted by the size of Elizabeth Shue’s head? Is Mike distracted by his own sense of self satisfaction/laundry baskets? Is EVERYONE distracted by Cobra Kai’s get ups? That shit is TIIIIIIIGHT.
The guys shamefully turn in their most racist, sexist, and highly edited episode in months. If this is the stuff they left in what the hell did they cut out? Turns out there were some hot button issues in 1960s New York. Turns out Robert De Niro made a movie about ‘em in 1993. Crazy.
To combat the unbearable misery of Donald Trump’s America the guys watch an unbearably beautiful movie. Is The Grand Budapest Hotel a modern classic? Does it meet Late To Table rules? Is anyone at home keeping track? Does anyone still play the drinking game? Mel Gibson, Capitalism. There. Take two shots. You’re welcome.
Can you believe this movie is not about hair dryers? Me neither. Did you see Nic Cage’s hair? Sweet lord. On today’s episode the gang discusses uber producer Jerry Bruckheimer and finally apologizes for 9/11.
The guys meekly venture forth into the nightmare that is Donald Trump’s America by watching the prophetic scroll known as Idiocracy. Will they survive? Do they have the skills needed to become warlords of this new wasteland? Will they just continue to make dumbass jokes and avoid responsibility? Is it that last one? I bet it’s the last one.
Your Dad loves this movie. I promise he does. The minute you become a father they hand you a copy of Airplane! duct taped to your child. It’s a messed up, yet incredibly effective, promotional tool. So what’s the big f’ing d? What makes Airplane so memorable? Is it jokes? It has all the jokes. All of them. So many. Some funny. Some Chris Kattan-esque. That’s not fair. I don’t know him. I’m sure he’s a nice guy.
I bet you didn’t think this episode would talk about butt smuggling and inflatable dicks. Neither did we. It Just kind of sneaks up on you. No one plans for this. I blame Peter O’Toole. Our mediation on the most epic film of all time concludes with a bang. Get ready.
Ep. 100 Lawrence Of Arabia; Part 1: Tactical Weeping
IT’S EPISODE 100. Holy shit! If you had a baby when this show first started coming out that baby would be old enough to start resenting you. Have you guys seen Lawrence of Arabia? It’s long! I mean, it’s good, don’t get that twisted. Prepare yourself for the beautiful desert vistas and all the functional alcoholism Peter O’Ttoole can muster.
The spooktacular is over! Go home! We watched a bunch of classic horror movies. Some were good. Others were Friday the 13th. This one was pretty good. You know what sucks though? Parts of America. You’re on notice Florida and Pittsburgh.
The October spook-tacular continues! The guys check out Friday The 13th and find out it has next to nothing to do with Jason Voorhees as you know him. Did you know he doesn’t get that goddamn hockey mask until the third film? I know, right?! What’s the deal with that? I mean don’t get me wrong, plenty of sexy teens are murdered, but still.
It’s time for the Late To The Table Halloween spook-tacular of classic horror films! Does George Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead hold up or is it just an excuse to watch racists get shot and eaten by zombies? I mean that sounds worth it, right Are the zombies just drunk? Does Rich know the difference between a vampire hunter and a zombie hunter? Is this spook-tacular nonsense annual? FIND. OUT. NOW.
Does the 1980 comedy classic Caddyshack hold up, or will Mike and Rich disappoint dads across America? Dads Across America sounds like the lamest organization. Is it a real thing? *Googles* Apparently it’s an uplifting youtube channel. Who knew?
They guys finish up women director’s month with a hard hitting expose on masculinity and the war on terror. Just kidding! The episode is called The Fart Locker. What did you expect? Dummies!
Meta-tag nonsense: Jeremy Renner, Kathryn Bigelow, Anthony Mackie, Kate Austen, We have to go BAAAAAAACK, Ralph Finnes, Voldemort in a desert.
Mike discovers his internet rival. Rich is stalked by a renown eatery. Jennifer Lawrence gets the shit kicked out of her by meth addled hill folk. All in a day’s work on America’s favorite podcast: Late To The Table. This episode brought to you by forest peanut butter: if you find peanut butter in the forest, don’t eat it! Forest peanut butter, since 1977.
Women director’s month continues! The guys revisit a movie Mike used to dislike only to find out he’s a big ol’ dum dum. What is it with these Coppolas man? Good movies.
stupid meta tags! Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Sofia Coppola, Japan, Puppies, Baby Ducklings
The guys begin a month long exploration of women directors and somehow create one their most sexist episodes to date. OOPS!
SEO STUUUUFFFF: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Sleepless in Seattle, Nora Ephron, ponzi scheme, butts, penguins, butt-penguins
Mike and Rich struggle through their difficult lives and microphone troubles while similarly privileged white people endure mild discomfort at an elite preparatory school. God that sentence has to be a run on right? I mean I could look it up. People with grammar skills should write this, but only idiots do. Idiots who buy Logitech products. Logitech: Probably Not Run By Pedophiles, get your Logitech keyboard or mouse today!
Alright. Front loading this. If you like The NeverEnding Story you’re either born between the years of 1980-1985 or are kind of a dumb dumb. Not saying, just sayin’. Get sucked into a magical world where everything is made up and the stakes don’t matter!
Tim Burton’s 1989 classic Batman started the Big-Hollywood-Super-Hero-Blockbuster. Are there enough hyphens in the world to determine if it holds up or falls victim to going full Burton?
Mike and Rich return from vacation and enter into a new world of Pokemon Go and bleak holocaust films.
Three idiots avoid talking about the mid 90s comedy Clueless. Mike and Rich have local legend DJ Presto guest star and get bogged down by the very real threat of a bear attack.
The guys are going on vacation and have to record a crap ton of episodes in advanced. They recorded this one on the 4th of July! Is this an opportunity to reflect on what makes America great, or an opportunity to depress the shit out of you? C’mon it’s episode 86, you know which one it is. Get ready to be bummed out/charmed by a delightful 80s comedy!
Mike and Rich delve into the evil that lurks in the hearts of rabbits. Does the classic animated movie that scarred a generation hold up or is it just bunny torture porn?
