Marjorie and Arnie are back to review Tropic Thunder, the Hollywood satire about actors playing actors playing soldiers who suddenly find themselves in a very real war zone. Packed with big personalities, over-the-top performances, and jokes aimed squarely at the movie industry itself, this film swings hard and rarely pulls its punches. But does Tropic Thunder actually land its satire, or does it mistake shock value for comedy? Are the risks it takes bold and hilarious, or just reckless? Our hosts wade into the chaos to see whether this is a smart send-up of blockbuster filmmaking or a mess that only thinks it’s clever. Listen in and decide whether this mission is worth signing up for.
