Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship (A24) is equal parts hilarious, awkward, and deeply uncomfortable. Tim Robinson (I Think You Should Leave) and Paul Rudd dive headfirst into cringe comedy — and we break it all down. From cult-like bro bonding to surreal sewer adventures, nacho intimacy, and an endless parade of green, this movie is as weird as it is brilliant.

We discuss the performances, themes of male loneliness, hidden metaphors, and whether Friendship actually works as a feature-length Robinson vehicle.

• “Pick Your Poison”: cursed martinis featuring hot dog water, Pepto-Bismol, and an O’Henry bar on a stick
• AMA time: how we actually prep for movie reviews

This is the feral, too-sweaty-for-YouTube energy that only P-Hounds get. 🐕🔥
