Cuban Fury

March 20, 2018
Hosts: Justin Jaeger, Steve Sarmento

"Once I put those shoes on, I never wanted to take them off."

It’s time to put on your rubber-soled salsa shoes and hit the floor with JJ and Steve. This month they have got fire in their heels as they talk about Cuban Fury. For March they are lightening the mood with this romantic comedy from 2014 starring Nick Frost, Rashida Jones, Chris O’Dowd, and Ian McShane. This was Pete’s trailer pick from April 2014, and he predicted that writer Jon Brown was going to bring some of the same offensive humor that he brought to the tv series ‘Misfits.’ And boy did he ever! If there is one thing JJ wants you to know about this film it is how crude and offensive Chris O’Dowd’s character Drew is. If you can handle the crude shenanigans you will find that this is a film that is not just a romantic comedy but also the story of a man who rediscovers what truly brings joy to his heart.
