Reel Rap: Jon Favreau Highlights (Season 4)

Reel Rap Season 4 focused on the ups and downs of Jon Favreau’s directorial career. Check out some highlights ahead of the upcoming Season 7 premiere

Your problematic faves discussed a problematic Fav-reau in Reel Rap’s award-winning fourth season. You know him as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Happy Hogan, but Shane and Bennett (unfortunately) know him as a director with a chip on his shoulder and a song in his heart. 

Made plays like a lost episode of Entourage, Iron Man makes jingoism look “badass” and Chef takes self-pity and self-satisfaction to new heights. Why did the boys subject themselves to a full season of this stuff? So you, the listener, wouldn’t have to. 

As they gear up for another season, Shane and Bennett share another best-of compilation. Enjoy this look into the career of one of the only people alive with more misplaced resentment than Bennett.

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
