It's a Thanksgiving miracle! Will, Jared, and Kourtney gather round the table to discuss a raunchy high school movie that released when they were the target audience for it. The movie that put Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and Emma Stone on the map: Superbad!

Does Superbad still hit, or is it a lazy, classless relic of the 2000s? Is Jonah Hill's character a huge jerk and maybe even closeted? How maybe celebrity cameos can you spot in the scary party scene? Can Will and Kourtney name 9 other popular comedies from the 2000s? Listen to find out!

Superbad is available on these streaming services.

On the Debaser next time, join us as we celebrate ONE HUNDRED EPISODES with... My Dinner With Andre.

Will, Jared, & Kourtney (!) sit down to discuss one of the hottest and most controversial films of the year, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

Do the hosts, inspired by the film, regret drinking Modelo during the podcast? Are the portrayals of people of color in this film offensive, and how uncomfortable are our hosts in even discussing that topic? Listen to find out!

Will & Jared are again joined by special guest Alex Megna to discuss a cult classic horror film directed by the writer of Alien: Dan O'Bannon's Return of the Living Dead.

Is this semi-spoof, semi-sequel to Night of the Living Dead a punk-rock rager deserving of it's cult status? Or is it an embarrassingly outdated and misguided attempt at horror comedy by a screenwriter that peaked in the 70s? Did attempted censorship of a legendary nude scene lead an entire generation to misunderstand pubes? Why are some of the effects in the film incredible and others... not so much? Listen to find out!

Return of the Living Dead is available to watch on the services listed here.

Alex can be found on Instagram.
