    Commentary Track: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
    2026/04/20
    On this week’s episode, we’re diving into Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story — a parody so sharp it might’ve broken the entire music biopic genre. We get into John C. Reilly’s bizarrely committed performance, the all-timer Beatles sequence, and why “Let’s Duet” has no right being that catchy. Along the way, we touch on the stacked cameos, the Apatow-era writing, and how this thing still hits harder than most “serious” biopics. So strap in — and remember: you don’t want no part of this commentary track.
