Why Three Amigos Still Holds Up Decades Later

Our community season continues with the movie that added "infamous" and "plethora" to our vocabulary, the Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short classic: Three Amigos. Directed by John Landis, whose filmography up to this point is littered with hits, Amigos succeeds by continually making its leads the butt of the joke. Clint, Cal, and Alex discuss the difficulty of analyzing comedies, whether or not Three Amigos qualifies as a spoof or an homage, how the film's comedy is completely character based and how hard it is to be grounded after being so absurd. For the first time, in this community season, we also discuss whether or not Three Amigos belongs on the list and if it should be struck.
