If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a good belly laugh must be worth a million dollars. We are making it rain on this episode as we talk buddy comedies! We are here to answer important questions like: what truly makes us laugh, what makes a solid friendship, and which characters and jokes stand the test of time? Enter lovely couple Emily Bolt and Preston Geer. Emily is an improviser and actor, and Preston is a screenwriter, actor, and producer. Together they are the dynamically funny hosts of the What’s Your Movie podcast. With expert help from Preston and Emily, we chat about what quotable dialogue make us laugh the hardest, which fictional pals remain unmatched, and why the chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is impressively magical. This delightful episode will hit you in the heart not here, or here so much, but riiight here.

Making us laugh and capturing our hearts this week: Lloyd and Harry (Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels) of Dumb and Dumber, Seth and Evan (Jonah Hill and Michael Cera) of Superbad, and Lee and Carter (Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker) of the Rush Hour trilogy.

This week’s small business shout-out: Semicolon Books (Chicago)
