Episode 38: Best in Show (2000)

Theme: Mockumentary Month
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis slip on their khakis, grab the nearest Busy Bee, and strut proudly into the high-stakes, high-pressure universe of Best in Show — the only mockumentary brave enough to ask, “What if the Westminster Dog Show was really just a therapy session, an S&M club, and a J. Crew catalog photoshoot all happening at once?”

Join your two favorite handlers with no professional training as they unpack:

  • Jerry and Cookie Fleck’s unshakeable marriage, built on love, loyalty, and hundreds of Cookie’s ex-boyfriends popping up like jump scares.

  • Meg and Hamilton Swan proving that Beatrice isn’t traumatized — she’s just trapped with the two worst people at any Starbucks.

  • Harlan Pepper living his best life as a man who names nuts, talks for his bloodhound, and drops Zen-like wisdom about eating when hungry.

  • Scott and Stefan radiating elite-level confidence, impeccable grooming habits, and the healthiest relationship in the entire film.

  • Sherri Ann and Christy turning a standard poodle, a tunnel make-out session, and a love of soup into a full-blown empire.

From utility-closet hotel rooms to blown-out knees, from clueless commentators to deeply confused dogs, Oz and Curtis break down a movie that proves dog shows aren’t about pedigree — they’re about pure survival.


Final Verdict

Oz — #1 (just like Winky)
Curtis — 88 Busy Bees (non-weaponized)
Both — Still convinced Buck Laughlin has never seen a dog in his life.
