I was late to The Thing but it's probably 1B for me now with Halloween being 1A and Escape from New York a close second. Don't sleep on In the Mouth of Madness, though.

I've never heard any specific stories of a falling out but given they're both weird, prickly and known for butting heads with others it would not surprise me if that was the case.

It's kind of a shame that Murray and Guest's working relationship ended by the time Murray got on SNL. He would've been perfect in Spinal Tap and Guest's other directorial efforts.

C'mon nothing from the first Ghostbusters beats: "Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy."

Chuck Pagano's constant facial expression = overly concerned baby

The Stripes DVD my roommate owns comes with a fairly comprehensive making-of documentary. The best anecdote featured a young/naive/in-over-his-head Ivan Reitman unsure of how to direct the surly veteran actor Warren Oates. For the scene where Oates gets tackled in the mud, Bill Murray, the rascal he is, suggested

Ha! Actually I think Spade has said (in all seriousness which makes it even funnier) that he, Sandler, Farley, etc. were so pissed at that article they worked themselves up into a "let's go find that reporter and kick his ass!" frenzy that probably was forgotten the second someone poked their head in the door: "hey

Just for a cup of coffee and long enough to say "fuck!" on air.

Yeah who was that!? I think he hinted they were in Pulp Fiction, too since it was the same episode Phil LaMarr was on. Matt's such a sweet guy I'm sure he doesn't want his podcast turning into a shade fest. Not to mention the way to make it in Hollywood is not to shit on your past experiences. But I'd like to hear

Fantastic episode. If you would've told me before listening to it to pick one from Eddie Murphy and the director from Meet Dave as who was the obnoxious asshole during filming I'd of guessed wrong! Swerve City!

After so many years and former SNLers as guests we finally have an SNL story on WTF with some TEETH. So refreshing to hear Michaela Watkins take the show to task for its behind-the-scenes up-its-own-ass-ness. "Don't forget to thank Lorne for letting you work on other projects in the offseason!" was somehow more

As with all sketch comedy, Birthday Boys are hit and miss. Though they mostly miss and the hits are fairly weak (they only got 2 seasons). I feel like they could've cut 2-3 from the cast and kept them in the writer's room.

Something about her accent drives me nuts (not in a good way). It sounds like the Australian version of the Valley Girl.

I read that Scorsese cast him in Goodfellas directly from seeing him in Something Wild.

Good point. I listened to their WTF episode trying to pinpoint where the bad blood started and it seemed to happen toward the end when Maron compared a closeted homosexual living a straight life to Kumail's life in Pakistan. It was a really bad comparison and one Kumail bristled against. Then the interview ended.

Ha, I think it's more Kumail's (and I love Kumail) "aw shucks ain't I such a cute stinker" demeanor he sometimes gives off that rubs Maron wrong.

It's weird, everyone from Adam McKay/Will Ferrell to Jason Sudeikis name Scott Adsit as the most talented performer/improviser they worked with at Second City. Yet his career hasn't really taken off to reflect that. Must be the bald thing.

I liked David Cross until that scene in Let America Laugh where he rips into the club owner on stage for setting up the tables to allow people to order food if they want. Then after the show proceeds to pack/unpack his bag for hours, making the poor guy wait to close down. That was some next-level vindictive

Vegan on the Way to the Complain Store was offensively bad. He opened with how shitty of a town the place it was filming in was (Tucson, I believe) but was so unfunny and uncreative about it it just came off as snobby Brooklynite can't believe people everywhere don't live how he does.
