KnockBack, Episode 86: Superbad
Added 2019-10-03 16:00:03 +0000 UTCFor many of us, high school was a bizarre experience, particularly in hindsight. It turns out that much of what we cared a great deal about in our teens doesn't actually matter whatsoever, but when you're there -- in the moment and living that life -- the gravity is all too real. 2007's Superbad -- starring Jonah Hill and Michael Cera -- celebrates that reality, from the seeming hopelessness of young romance to the pursuit of all-important booze. It also doesn't hurt that the film is incredibly funny and outrageously inappropriate. So sit down, kick back, and reminisce along with us about one of the great teen movies of all-time. And if you don't? Well... prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law. (Not really.)

Colin Moriarty
2019-10-14 19:29:11 +0000 UTCI actually remember that now. He went on some late show to apologize.

2019-10-14 19:28:52 +0000 UTCThat was a fantastic episode guys! It still resonates with me this movie, and watched it just a few weeks back.

2019-10-10 20:36:12 +0000 UTCAwesome episode guys. I love this movie, I'm really glad to have thia movie as a memory from my teen years, as i conected so much with the characters. I wanna recommend another movie in the vein of Superbad. Its called Project X, and at first it might seem like a Superbad clone, but it is really its own thing, less realistic but just as fun. Glad to support such awesome content as CLS, have a good one.

2019-10-10 20:33:28 +0000 UTCIndeed! It's a fantastic film.

2019-10-10 17:39:10 +0000 UTCGraduated high school in 2008, the June after Superbad came out. I remember coming back to school the first week of Grade 12 and how we wouldn't stop talking about this movie and quoting it. One of my all-time favourite comedies and my friends and I still quote the hell out of it 12 years later. Truly a classic!

2019-10-10 17:25:30 +0000 UTCDid you Guys Say Alien Episode!? Please tell me it hasn't been recorded yet! Alien is the greatest movie of all time. Only Alien 1 and Aliens are considered Canon by Fans, theres actually 3 comics that pick up after Aliens that provide a better sequel. Alien 3 was cut down a significant amount for time and the director was very dissappointed about his vision not being fulfilled. When the baby alien popped out of dudes chest bone of the actors knew what was going to happen and their reaction was authentic. 4/26 is Alien Day because the planet they landed on was LV426, celebrated with exclusive content, Reebok releases the shoes that Ripley wore in Aliens. The community is divided about Prometheus and Alien Covenant as canon, we may never see the sequel to Covenant which was to end the planned prequel trilogy.

2019-10-08 10:44:44 +0000 UTCLoved this episode so much. Superbad is the best. I'll never forget skipping school in 6th grade to see it at a friends house. I'm surprised the period scene never came up lmao.

Colin Moriarty
2019-10-04 18:09:56 +0000 UTCSame with my experience growing up. It wasn't anti-homosexual in any way, shape, or form. But, in modernity, I understand why we kinda put that one to bed.
Colin Moriarty
2019-10-04 18:09:30 +0000 UTCI'll call you up next time I need ya.
Colin Moriarty
2019-10-04 18:08:57 +0000 UTCNow go back and listen to the other 85 episodes!

2019-10-04 18:08:23 +0000 UTCSee, that's perfect timing. That's why American Pie is so important to me.

2019-10-04 17:47:02 +0000 UTCAs a fellow IBS and stomach problem person I felt that opening story in my soul.
Dennis Fox
2019-10-04 13:21:34 +0000 UTCInteresting point about cell phones. Made me remember Booksmart - an excellent recent Superbad-esque comedy with a duo of girls and some very effective use of the smartphone as a comedic device. Highly recommended.

2019-10-04 12:25:28 +0000 UTCGonna have my girlfriend listen to this podcast, one of her favorite movies covered might finally bring her to realize the might, the majesty, and the wonder of Colin's Last Stand.

2019-10-04 09:29:04 +0000 UTCSo happy to hear Dagan mention Mid90s
Brandon Hardman
2019-10-04 03:59:42 +0000 UTCThat’s hilarious haha. I suppose everyone knows that guy and that’s why Super Bad is so relatable.
Corey Adams
2019-10-04 03:07:55 +0000 UTCMy best friend growing up drew dicks on everything from 4th grade on and he finds it hilarious.
Steve
2019-10-04 02:18:21 +0000 UTCDude, that dick drawing scene still gets me. I think the reason I found it so funny is because I often draw dicks on random stuff haha. Still to this day. You give me a marker to write my name on the leftover box at a restaurant, you bet your sweet ass I’m drawing a fat chode on that box.
Corey Adams
2019-10-03 23:09:12 +0000 UTCI’d like to just comment on Colin bringing up the use of “gay” usually as an insult. I find these jokes funny more as a statement of straight men’s fear of being gay, more than an insult of gay people. I get why gay people who have faced a lot of discrimination might not see it that way, but with my personal experience I have never been privy to or a part of gay discrimination.

2019-10-03 23:00:32 +0000 UTCThat's actually brilliant
Forrest Hunter
2019-10-03 21:20:58 +0000 UTCUsing a gloved hand to rip shit out of people's assholes is called "manual disimpaction" and I've done it for many of my patients. It's just as awful as you'd imagine, and it's made worse when the patient practically begs for it because of their discomfort. Well, except for this one guy who begged but wasn't even impacted; that's a story for another day...

Brandon Soto
2019-10-03 19:32:36 +0000 UTCWow, I don’t listen to many knockbacks but this is an instant listen. I remember sneaking into Superbad in the theatre at age 14. Now as a 26 year old teacher, Superbad is still my favorite film, comedy or otherwise. Thanks Colin for showing love to a legendary comedy
Maxx Lazos
2019-10-03 17:51:24 +0000 UTCThis is my favourite comedy, it came out *while* I was in grade 12 (senior year). The timing is everything. Over the years I've watched it countless times and me and my friends from that time still quote it, a decade later.
Ross Arbour
2019-10-03 16:25:04 +0000 UTCOne of the best movies ever made. By far my favourite comedy! So excited for this episode!
