About the episode

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Dirty Work (1998), Bob Saget's directorial debut, which scored 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and turned a $13 million budget into $10 million at the box office. Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange start a revenge-for-hire business to get Artie's dad a new heart. MGM forced a PG-13 cut, and NBC executive Don Ohlmeyer, who had fired Norm from Weekend Update, would not advertise the movie on the network. Returning guest Andrew still knows every line.
