Listen "EP122 - Major Payne (1995)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode the Guardians look at 90's comedy extraordinnare, Damon Wayans, who plays a hardened Marine dumped into a kids’ military academy, where his brutal discipline meets a pack of soft, smart-mouthed cadets. This episode unpacks the slapstick violence, the messed-up pep talks, the surprising heart under all the yelling, and why this oddball comedy still sticks in our heads. Think tough-as-nails drill training mixed with cartoon logic. We look at what works, what aged strangely, and why Major Payne is both ridiculous and strangely lovable, even when he threatens to break a kid’s finger to cure sadness. Tune in for sarcasm, nostalgia, and a salute you might regret.
