The Dudes discuss 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar", directed by Beeban Kidron, starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo.

The Dudes fall in love with Adam Sandler and Emily Watson in 2002's "Punch Drunk Love", directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Dudes discuss 2007's "Hot Fuzz", directed by Edgar Wright, starring Simon Pegg.
