Hot Rod is a childhood staple that bombed so hard at the box office that nobody saw it coming… but it somehow became one of the most rewatchable comedies ever made. We break down how this movie was originally written for Will Ferrell and how the Lonely Island completely took it over and made it into something nobody had ever seen before. We discuss why the whole movie is basically just a series of sketches and why that's exactly what makes it impossible to stop watching. And we get into all the wild behind the scenes stories that prove this movie was just as chaotic to make as it looks on screen.Chapters:00:00 Flop city to beloved classic15:57 The rise of internet humor19:20 The beauty of Danny McBride21:41 The stunts gone wrong28:51 The most quotable movie of all time35:41 "Cool beans" was almost cut39:53 New comedies that flop45:55 Bill Hader: The Man51:35 Talkin' Tony Romo for some reason54:55 Danny McBride: The Man59:08 What Andy Samberg is up to now1:02:35 Arrested Development, Sopranos, & Friends1:08:03 Our ranking & final thoughts
