the greatest child actor ever?
Join The Mate Night Podcast as they embark on their journey to rank every film ever made. This week, episode 6, delves into "Superbad" (2007), a film that has become a cornerstone in the teen comedy genre.
In this video, Jambo & FRED try to determine what it is that Superbad did better than anyone else to provide the inaugural award.
In the remainder of the episode, it is their job to rate this film in 9 different categories:
How much Fred enjoyed it
How much Jambo enjoyed it
Plot
Character
Dialogue
Performance
Visuals
Sound, and
Genre realisation.
They will take the average across the 9 areas to finish with a perfectly accurate score representing how hilarious and impactful Superbad really is. This score is held up against other comedy classics already in the cinefiles, including the Godfather, Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Apocalypse Now amongst many others. Aside from the rankings of this film, the question which guides this whole segment is: "Superbad," should you watch it?
In addition to this, 4 special segments have been included in this episode.
Neither of the hosts have any idea what they are talking about, and so if you are a beginner, an everyman, someone who doesn't know films, then this will be digestible for you. If you are a film expert, this may be a bit more like watching your 8-year-old kid playing football: great to watch but you could absolutely mince them on the field.
