God, that’s an awful, awful name. I’m going to have to find a better series title. Anyhow, here is one of the many flawless songs from Dewey Cox, it is a note-perfect imitation of Brian Wilson’s “Smile,” which I have never listened to, but that’s what everyone keeps telling me it is, and I love it, so.
“I want an army of didgeridoos! Ten thousand didgeridoos!”
“What Mallory Finds Funny Monday”
“Don’t You All Find This Funny Too Monday”
“If You Were Cool You’d Already Know About This Funny Thing Monday”
“Don’t You Want To Be Cool?”
“Don’t You?”
One didgeridoo is really more than sufficient.
Walk Hard is one of the single most underrated movies of the last ten years. I already loved you, Mallory, but now you are like unto a god in my eyes for also giving it some props. <3

I don’t know if Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan originally intended to make Walk Hard a riff on all pop music biopics or if they just ran out of riffs on Johnny Cash’s story and needed something to fill out the middle third, but I loved this bit.

God help me, but one of my favorite scenes from that movie is the orgy one. In a regular musician biopic that’s the scene where the audience gets titillated while at the same time gets to feel morally superior to the subject of the film. And of course, only the women go full frontal. On Walk Hard, however, they subvert that by showing Dewey Cox having a phone call with his wife, but framing it with some dude lower half taking like half the screen, his flaccid penis completely visible.
Its very funny, but also very,very,very,very,very uncomfortable to watch with your parents. God, I know.
I rewatched this back when you were first talking about Walk Hard on twitter, Mallory, and now god help me I need to rewatch it AGAIN.
