Shownotes

Yup yup!! Disasterpiece is in full effect this week as Justin and Steve breakdance and break down Vanilla Ice’s 1991 star vehicle, Cool as Ice.

This steamless riff on Romeo and Juliet is a soggy mess that didn’t do Vanilla Ice, or anyone involved, any favors. But just like how the movie’s charmless lead is able to steal a nice girl away from her boyfriend, this film somehow landed the Academy Award-winning cinematographer of Schindler’s List (and almost every Spielberg movie that followed). So even at its lowest lows, Cool as Ice looks like a million bucks.

So sit back, relax, say word to your mother, and get ready to know more than anyone ever should about Vanilla Ice. And if you’re lucky, you might even find out what a Roni is.
