# Episode #480 – 40 Days and 40 Nights

We close out [Max Fun Drive 2026](https://maximumfun.org/join/) with some true pain. Stuart’s proclaimed “least favorite movie,” [40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243736/), a supposed “sexy romcom” that’s actually a melange of unfunny shenanigans, poisonous attitudes, nothing that resembles actual human behavior, and (trigger warning) some unacknowledged sexual assault. It’s… a lot. But at least it led to a funny episode — like a flower, blooming from a pile of shit.
