Date Night In with Dave and Jess wraps up its first season with the very campy b-movie Slotherhouse (2023), which is available on Hulu. The couple pair this slasher comedy about a killer sloth with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Is this ridiculous premise sustainable for an hour and a half? Or does the movie creep along at a sloth-like pace for its running time?
The couple offer up some trivia about the three-toed sloth, and express their confusion over the character Zenny and what she's doing in the movie, along with the inexplicable skills of the titular antagonist in this film. Dave chimes in to discuss the other direction this movie could have gone had it wanted to take the ridiculous premise more seriously, and the couple lament the unnecessarily long finale.
This really is a movie that has to be seen to be believed...

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
