S1 E5 – Mac and Me (1988): The E.T. Knockoff Nobody Asked For
Description
What if E.T. was made by McDonald’s and Coca-Cola? Well… it kinda was. This week, we’re diving into Mac and Me (1988), the infamous product placement-packed disaster that tried (and failed) to capture Spielberg magic. Featuring an alien with a horrifyingly blank stare, the most unnecessary dance sequence in McDonald’s history, and THAT wheelchair cliff scene—this movie is a non-stop fever dream.
Join us as we unpack this shameless cash grab, its bizarre cult following, and why Paul Rudd won’t stop showing that clip on late-night TV. Will this knockoff win us over, or will the end credits not come soon enough?
