Summary: <p>Another thrilling installment of MAYbe It's Horror is upon us with the 2001 cinematic masterpiece, Freddy Got Fingered.</p> <p>The film stars Tom Green, who also directed and wrote the film, along with his friend, Derek Harvie. </p> <p>The film was nominated for a total of eight Razzie Awards, winning five: worst screenplay, worst actor, worst director, worst screen couple, and worst picture, though it lost for worst supporting actor, worst supporting actress, and worst movie of decade.</p> <p>We compare the film to its contemporaries: Tomcats, American Pie, Say It Isn't So, Joe Dirt, and so forth. </p> <p>Rip Torn plays Green's onscreen father, Jim Brody. We talk about his depiction, the comparisons to Green's real-life, and whether or not he did in fact do the Freddy fingering. </p> <p>Marisa Coughlan plays Betty Menger, Green's differently-abled significant other, whose passions are rocket propulsion and fellatio. </p> <p>Harland Williams plays Darren, the only functional person in the film.</p> <p>We also talk about the saddest misfortune of this film, the fact that all of Stephen Tobolowsky's scenes were cut due to homophobic screen-testers. Sadly, as the film is now owned by Disney, it seems the likelihood of the long-desired Director's Cut will never happen. </p> <p>We also discuss X-Ray Cat and Zebras in America by Beavis and Butthead alum, Chris Prynoski. </p> <p>How does this film compare to The Breakfast Club with Anthony Michael Hall and Kazam with Shaquille O'Neil? We talk about it. </p> <p>Did you know some poor MF was arrested over this film in 2016? For a warrant from 2002! That is the slothly hand of justice working wonders. </p> <p>This week's "Hidden Track" is Hellfir, with their song, Conquerors.
