PODCAST SHOUTOUT: The Unwritable Rant, with Juliette Miranda (@MorningNeurosis)

SHOWNOTES: ...My god, Collateral Cinephiles, what have we brought upon ourselves? What evil forces came together to foist this detritus upon the masses? What fresh kind of hell does this movie hail from? What possessed Dana Carvey to write the 2002 wannabe kids "comedy" and cinematic weapon of mass destruction known as The Master of Disguise? It certainly couldn't be the overall humor, because that would imply there was something even remotely humorous about this shitpile. It couldn't be the many inconsistent performances and needless celebrity cameos that are peppered throughout this dreck, because that sort of thing would require some level of cleverness, or forethought to be used here! It must have been either a momentary lapse of comedic judgement, or the worst act of cinematic terrorism committed against the moviegoing public since Ghosts Can't Do It... But one way or the other, hosts Beau, Robert, Ash, and Dakota went to war with this monstrous excuse of a film for your amusement and for science... or something. (THIS MOVIE SUCKS; IT WILL HURT YOU TO WATCH IT—DON'T DO IT!!!)
