Welcome to DON’T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, proudly sponsored this time by Scrooge Financial Services, where the more you put in, the less you get!
Ho-ho-hosted by A. J. Black and Matt Latham, Don’t Call Us Shirley! explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way.
In this episode, the finale of Season 1, they stray into a combination of Christmas and political waters with David Zucker’s 2008 ‘comedy’, An American Carol aka Big Fat Important Movie.
A lampoon of American politics at the tail end of the Bush Administration and the War on Terror, the film takes potshots at liberal democracy, Michael Moore and a whole lot more. But is it funny? (Ed – no) Does it stand the test of time? (Ed – no!) And will Tony stop hijacking the show notes to advance his left-leaning liberal agenda? (Ed – this is Latham, and I’m sorry, but no) Find out!
