February 18, 2005. The day that changed actor, comedian and professional wildcard Jamie Kennedy's career forever. The release of Son of the Mask, the sequel to the 1994 Jim Carry comic book adaptation, was met with a swamp of negativity. Critical reception was rock bottom with critics slamming Kennedy's performance in review after review. Box office returns were worse than anticipated, not even making back it's initial $85-100 million budget. Somehow, the failure of Son's weak script and unfunny CGI hijinks landed on the shoulders of Jamie Kennedy who didn't even want the role in the first place. Stunted by the failing of Son of The Mask, Kennedy's movie career never reached the heights of his previous efforts, 2003's "white boy" comedy Malibu's Most Wanted and his role as Randy in the Scream franchise.
This Week, young actor and good friend Joseph Kane joins Liam in a semi-deep dive into Son of the Mask, it's production troubles, the infamous Nintendo Power "The Mask 2" contest from the 1990s and of course... the triumphs and tribulations of Jamie Kennedy. Was Son of The Mask doomed from the start? Was Jamie Kennedy to blame for it's failing? Who let him host Activision's E3 conference in 2006? Sit back and enjoy the ride.
