Episode 6 - Little Miss Sunshine

How this paper-thin road trip movie was nominated for Best Picture is beyond us. And how on earth did it *win* Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (for Alan Arkin)? We don’t know, but we’re quite mad about it.

That’s right, this week we are taking down one of the all-time most overrated quirky comedies, “Little Miss Sunshine.” We discuss why beauty pageants aren’t illegal, who would ever care about the difference between the No. 1 and No. 2 Proust scholars in the world, our take on JonBenét Ramsey, and whether this is just a sequel to “National Lampoon's Vacation” or a prequel to “Breaking Bad.”
