Join us for Episode 72 of Dumpsterpiece Theater as we embark on an unexpectedly nostalgic journey through 2004's "Eurotrip," a raunch-com masterpiece that's somehow both terribly offensive and surprisingly clever.
Key Moments:
- Liz reveals her deeply personal airport safety card ritual, including her search for the mysteriously misshapen United Airlines child illustration
- Scott confesses to 20 years of having "Scotty Doesn't Know" shouted at him by strangers, despite not identifying as a "Scotty"
- We debate the tattooed appeal of Matt Damon's punk rock cameo, which was apparently filmed during a SARS outbreak with minimal planning
- Our heroes discover the only nude beach in Europe populated exclusively by flapping elderly men
- The twins accidentally make out in Bratislava after chugging absinthe, leading to a deep dive on whether hallucinogenic wormwood is actually legal in the US
- We explore the film's most quotable line ("That is not a robot move!") and celebrate Fred Armisen's perfectly deadpan Italian pervert
- Michelle Trachtenberg takes us back to the early 2000s, with the sad footnote of her recent passing
- The reveal of the Anne Frank scene that was too offensive even for this movie, proving some lines shouldn't be crossed
Is it good? Absolutely not. Is it a dumpsterpiece? Surprisingly, no - it's just a perfectly preserved time capsule of early 2000s comedy that couldn't be made today, for better or worse.
