Episode 16: North

The first in Video Negative's series of "Great Directors, Bad Films" sees Dan pick one of Roger Ebert's most beloved films, Rob Reiner's 1994 honker North. The gang take apart the film that seemingly ended Reiner's streak of incredible run of great cinema, and enter a slump he's not left since. The crew are aghast at the god-awful humour - none of which finds its mark - the misuse of a huge, talented cast, and all the horrendous ethnic stereotyping on display. Plus, Tim reveals a very revolting alternative definition of an Eskimo Pie.
