Send us a textSIDE HUSTLE IV: DeGOOD, DeBAD & DeVITO Danny Devito is a beloved actor and, in 2023, a justifiably beloved American institution. Mostly known as a comedic actor from Taxi onward, DeVito turned success as a pinch-hitting comedic character actor into a brief, but stellar, time as an A-list film director. Speaking of director's, Ivan Reitman certainly has numerous screen credits to his name as one! He made a few classics featuring Bill Murray and... he made other movies, some of which made a lot of money. One of which is TWINS (1988), which Danny DeVito co-starts as a twin to... wait for it, oh man, it is too funny! He is the twin of Arnold Schwarzenegger! The big muscle guy with the accent? If you need to take a break from that high concept to wipe your eyes, this movie is for you!  It made a ton of money and does have a certain late 80's lazy "they'll watch anything" charm to it as its stakes are minor. Devito and Schwarzenegger do have good enough chemistry that they reunited with the same director where... are you sitting down? The big muscle guy gets pregnant.  The crew, joined by ace guest Shannon, have disagreement over the merits of this one (Shannon doesn't get to write the show notes, though).Then we go back in time (not in a John Connor way) to 1987 for DeVito's classic box office breakthrough as director/star for Throw Momma From The Train, a film with moderate aspirations that nevertheless goes full bore in succeeding in almost every case. It's brief, it's funny, it has fabulously comic performances,  and is dark in a way many movies of the era screwed up (hello, She-Devil). Ken, Thomas and Shannon all discuss the actor, the director, the legend, Danny DeVito.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: [email protected]: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralJack: jackk1096
