Gutting the Sacred Cow
319 episodes - English - Latest episode: 26 days ago - ★★★★★ - 300 ratingsGutting the Sacred Cow invites guests to argue why some of the most financially successful, beloved or acclaimed films are trash or overrated. But here's the twist, the film must meet 1 of these criteria: widely beloved, financial success, or critically acclaimed. Standup comedians Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel love films and they love arguing about them.. But will they agree with their guests arguments or feed them into a wood chipper?
We give a platform with those who have unpopular opinions to be bold enough to voice them. What are some films that have faced scrutiny: Back to the Future, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, the Dark Knight, Toy Story, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Matrix, and Die Hard. Can the guests persuade us or do we rip them a new one?
Give us a listen and we'll easily prove that we belong on any top movie podcast list. We throw plenty of fun segments in the mix: 5 fun facts, our readers have us ask our guests questions they'd like answered in "Ask a Gutter", critics 5 and 1 star reviews and our FAVORITE segment, reading Amazon 5 and 1 star reviews.; You'll never go down a more fun rabbit hole than hearing crazy people asking for refunds while submitting their personal info for payment.
We also give you movie and TV recommendations in our bonus segment aptly titled, "What Did We Watch" So if you want spirited movie debate and wonder what the hell is wrong with some people who hate some of these treasured films or if you secretly agree these beloved movies are awful, this podcast is for you.

Episode 16 Mark Riccadonna does the Hangover
February 04, 2020 16:12 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBWe believe that this episode is definitely going to strike a nerve. @MarkRiccadonna joins @KevinGootee and @KevinIsrael to throw a fan favorite film into the wood chipper and that film...the Hangover. This ranks as a lot of people's FAVORITE comedy; especially in the last 10 years. Does Mark nail this argument like Mike Tyson nailed Ed Helms with a right cross? Or is his argument small and insignificant like Ken Jeong's standup career and d--k? @GTSCpodcast on twitter! We want to hear f...

January 29, 2020 04:33 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBLinette Palladino (Comics Watching Comics on Amazon Video and featured in the NY Times) is a badass lady. She's a comedian, mom, and a captain in the US Army. However, she chose a film that's near and dear to both Kevins' hearts...Pulp Fiction. That's right, she does not enjoy the tale of Vince, Jules, and the Gimp. She may have survived several tours of duty in the Middle East but will she survive Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israels' wrath? guttingthesacredcow.com @Guttingthesacredcow on F...

Episode 12 Mo Vida does Rocky
January 09, 2020 14:54 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBThis episode starts off differently than most as Kevin Gootee, Kevin Israel, and Mo Vida discuss their feet. Why? Because Mo put up a picture of her feet on IG and had several people put in cash offers for feet photos. After that hullaballoo, Mo Vida attempts to sway Kevin and Kevin that Stallone sucks in everything he does and that Rocky is no exception. Does Mo walk out of there with the title belt? Or does her argument end up like Apollo Creed in Rocky 4? @GTSCpodcast on twitter, g...
