Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: 2 lines the host's read ×2

  1. unmapped (parody of): Walk the Line ⇒ Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (the host's read). Walk Hard is a beat-for-beat demolition of Walk the Line (and Ray), pairing contempt with affection.
    “it is such a perfect note for note, beat for beat, cliche for cliche, demolition of this kind of movie, with just the right amount of contempt and affection”

Where it came up

What was said about it, by kind

unmapped (2)

  1. unmapped (parody target): Walk the Line → Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Amanda argues effective parody must work from something that works, and watched the two back to back; the buzz-saw brother incident mirrors Walk Hard's setup.
    “for something, to be an effective parody, it has to be working from something that actually works.”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Walk the Line: Amanda was embarrassed about picking Walk the Line at number one but took a 'Tony Hawk 720' route to going with her heart; she notes Reese Witherspoon is lit like a Greek goddess.
    “Also, she's lit like a Greek goddess. It's extraordinary how beautiful she looks in this movie.”
