“Danny DeVito Gets Wrecked In. L.A. CONFIDENTIAL”

Something that I’ve loved dearly since discovering it is the We Hate Movies podcast. It’s a simple premise in which four gentlemen discuss movies of varying degrees of quality, mostly as premises to go off on bizarre but hilarious tangents. If you’re looking for a place to begin with it, I strongly recommend the episode on 1985’s CAT’S EYE.

On installment, our intrepid hosts posited that someone would get an instead YouTube hit if they uploaded a video with Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” playing over some violent moment in a movie. YouTuber Films Against Humanity not only met that challenge, but far exceeded to deliver something fantastic.

The combination of “Wrecking Ball” (which, as Mindy Kaling points out in THE NIGHT BEFORE, can work as the soundtrack to basically any situation and emotion) with Danny DeVito getting the business from 1950s crooked cops in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL is just a delight. It’s simple. It’s stupid. It’s silly. It’s what you need at the end of the week. Take it away, James Cromwell!
