Ali G Is BACK?! Sacha Baron Cohen Returns + We Watched the Weirdest Frog Movie Ever

Ali G is BACK! Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing Ali G back for a new movie, Ali G: Who Iz I?, and Johnny Spoiler is breaking down the return, the controversy, and whether Ali G can still work in 2026.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s legendary character is returning to theaters in a new secretly filmed mockumentary, sending Ali G to America and bringing back the undercover comedy style that made Da Ali G Show and Borat cultural phenomena.

But should Ali G actually come back?

The character was always a parody of privileged suburban guys adopting a culture that wasn’t theirs—but more than 20 years later, audiences are already debating whether the joke still works or whether Ali G belongs permanently in the early 2000s.

Johnny Spoiler gets into the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy comeback, the new Ali G movie, and why this could either be an incredible return to form or a fascinating cultural train wreck.

🐸 THEN WE WATCHED HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN

Because apparently Ali G wasn't weird enough for one episode.

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper stars in the absolutely insane 1988 cult movie Hell Comes to Frogtown, playing Sam Hell—one of the last fertile men alive after nuclear war devastates humanity.

His mission?

Rescue fertile women from a city controlled by mutant frog people and help repopulate Earth.

The government also straps an explosive codpiece to him so he can't escape.

Yes. This is a real movie.

We dig into:

🐸 The surprisingly awesome practical frog effects
💦 Why the frog costumes had to stay wet during filming
💰 How budget cuts radically changed the movie
🤼 Why Roddy Piper ended up playing Sam Hell
💥 The explosive codpiece
👽 The bizarre world of Frogtown
🎬 And somehow… the sequels

Dangerous Dave has been trying to get Johnny to watch this thing for about 20 YEARS.

So was it worth the wait?

JOHNNY SPOILER VERDICT: BINGE LATER.

A movie about the origin of Hooters is in development, following the creation of the restaurant empire and the people behind it. Because apparently Hollywood looked at Air and BlackBerry and said: Okay, but what about chicken wings?

🚔 21 JUMP STREET VS. 22 JUMP STREET

Johnny has watched 21 Jump Street about nine times and 22 Jump Street around fifteen times—and somehow fell asleep during 22 Jump Street this time.

We get into why 21 Jump Street is still the better movie, Johnny Depp returning as Tom Hanson, the connection to the original TV series, Jillian Bell nearly stealing 22 Jump Street, Ice Cube's incredible angry-dad meltdown, and whether we still need 23 Jump Street.
