Listening to this now having finally read the Ringer piece. I rewatched this this weekend and have been marginally obsessed all over again. I really do need to see the director’s cut.

Can we agree that the real tragedy of this movie is that Glen Campbell never recorded a version of Beautiful Ride (as he stood on the precipice of death)?

Slightly off topic but thread title hits a bit different now given the fallout between Ferrell and McKay's split up over Reilly's casting in the Lakers show.

garbled that but you know what I mean

Was thinking the same.

Show is a bit of a trashfire but Reilly is gr8 in that.

Officially over this take, true even tho it may be

Hard to think of a single film released in my lifetime that has caused more artistic devastation than Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Every conventional biopic released since has been accidentally hilarious because of it
