Dude, Where's My Car? & Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay

Our Comedy in the 2000s retrospective wouldn't be complete without a healthy dose of transphobia and lighthearted racism! This week on the podcast, we're taking on a pair of stoner comedies that defined the decade's obsession with buddy comedies steeped in gay panic. First up it's "Dude, Where's My Car?" featuring a pre-"Punk'd" Ashton Kutcher and pre-"Bulletproof Monk" Seann William Scott as a pair of intensely stupid stoners who find themselves immersed in an alien invasion as they search for their car after one wild night. After that, we're jumping to the end of the decade for the second chapter in the "Harold and Kumar" franchise, "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay," which sees the titular pair on an Americana travelogue after being racially profiled as terrorists on their way to Amsterdam.

Join us as we discuss racist Asian caricatures in pop culture in the late 90s and 2000s, the 100% rotten canon of Ashton Kutcher, not being able to get Jerry O'Connell and getting stuck with his brother Charlie instead, giant alien tits, and "Harold and Kumar" kicking off the rehabilitation tour of George W. Bush while he was still in office.

"Dude, Where's My Car?" is streaming on Amazon Prime and "Harold and Kumar" is available on HBOMax.
