Scary Movie & White Chicks (with Mariko Enkoji-Busch)

We’re still steeped in 2000s nostalgia here at the podcast as we kick off our seven week retrospective on comedy in the aughts. An era that began with an overflow of post-"There's Something About Mary" gross-out comedy before transitioning into frat-bro antics in the wake of movies like "Old School" and "Wedding Crashers," before the reign of Apatow exploded in the latter half of the decade with "bromance" comedies like "Knocked Up" and "Superbad." We're kicking off the miniseries with a pair of Wayans Brothers satires that skewered two of the most ubiquitous pop culture phenomenons of the era: the teen slasher movie and the tabloid obsession with hard-partying heiresses. We'll be starting off with the 2000 revival of the Zucker Brothers style spoof movie, "Scary Movie" featuring the debut performance of Anna Faris, before jumping to the middle of the decade for the disturbing pop culture artifact, "White Chicks."

Actress and designer Mariko Enkoji-Busch joins us this week to discuss the cancellable offenses of 2000s comedy, the decade-obsession with gay panic humor, the enduring relevancy of "White Chicks" and how "Scary Movie" might have informed Max's obsession with cum.

"Scary Movie" is streaming on PlutoTV and "White Chicks" is streaming on HBOMax.
