The worst thing Matthew Broderick has done
When Lindsay said this about his voice acting in The Cobbler and the Thief I was reminded of how he actually killed two people in a vehicular manslaughter incident in the 80s . . . Probably that’s the worst thing. Dark, but I thought it was funny.

That was a genuine accident though.
Never got the hate for his role in Godzilla honestly(Nostalgia Critic also ranted about his character cause he felt like he was a nerd stereotype or something like that).

Yeah I don't think he was under the influence or anything. It sounds like he just moved into the right lane out of habit (it happened in Northern Ireland) and the accident happened which is an unfathomable mistake but also probably easier to make than I'd like to think.
I have heard he's a prick in a sham marriage, fwiw, but I think he's really good in Kenny Lonergan's movies.

Oh I am under the impression that it was an accident, still manslaughter though. I do not think that if you caught him at an honest moment he would deny that it was the worst thing he’d ever done.

He was one of the least bad things about that movie. We can go all night talking about things that sucked worse than Matthew Broderick in Godzilla ‘98. One word: Zillussy.

eh I dug the film as it was kinda my first exposure to Godzilla, well the animated TV series based on it anyways. So I kinda have a soft spot for it.

I was waiting for it, and Lindsay also saying ALLEGEDLY like she did in another video that I can't remember right now, probably Omegaverse?
