Driving Miss Daisy with Zac Brooks

Join me and Zac Brooks for the first-ever drunk episode, as we stumble through this cheesy '80s movie about race that's also somehow not at all about race. "Driving Miss Daisy" is a pleasant enough confection, and miles less offensive than other more recent confections (like "Shakespeare in Love" or "The Artist"), but lacks any deeper heft than emotional manipulation. We spend most of our time just trying to figure out why Dan Aykroyd was in this, how the fact that he is in this didn't tank the movie completely, and what in the world he did to deserve an Oscar nomination for the role. Turns out, the whole year of 1989 was a buncha Forrest Gump-style feel good movies, so was this the best of the bunch? It probably wasn't the worst. And hey, everyone deserves to just relax and enjoy themselves sometimes. Crack open a cold one and count the number of times Zac and I accidentally say inappropriate things.
