About this episode
Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.
This week, metalhead bartender and all around teddy bear Sam Evans makes us watch a woefully underrated gem called Cook Off!
Cook Off! was co-written and directed by Cathryn Michon...who it's criminal she doesn't have a much, much bigger career because this movie is absolutely fantastic! Its cast is a who's who of character actors, including so many people who have been on Reno 9-1-1. It's insane how great this movie is, considering it was shelved for ten years before finally being released.
If you like the Christopher Guest mockumentaries, chances are, you're going to like Cook Off! as well. Imagine Best in Show, but set in the world of cooking competitions.
It's a pretty stellar feminist movie too with great performances from Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jennifer Elise Cox, a comedic performance from Christine Rose, Niecy Nash, a pre-Bridesmaids scene stealing Melissa McCarthy, and the great Markie Post!
Please find this movie, watch it now, then come back and listen to this episode of You Made Me Watch.
