Kind of amazing that he only officially directed the one film, considering how much he clearly liked exerting control over his films.

OK, since you asked: James Mason is a Chinese-Mexican crime lord whose weapon of choice is a spear gun. Burgess Meredith is his Chinese acupuncturist/bodyguard. Jeff Bridges is a bisexual novelist of Joycean vision turning rough-trade tricks on the side. The song score is almost certainly an elaborate prank. At one…

As I understand it, Laughton was kind of a co-director on 1948's The Man on the Eiffel Tower. Laughton clashed with original director Irving Allen throughout the production and eventually forced him out in favor of, of all people, his co-star Burgess Meredith, who directed under Laughton's guidance. Laughton…

Even if I didn't love the show, it would get a lifetime pass from me for being the only program I have ever seen make a throwaway joke about the dismemberment of Michael Findlay.

The best thing I can say about Death Wish is that it inspired dozens of Death Wish knock-offs that were, if not "better," at least more fun and less credulous about their own line of bullshit than the original was.

Or that the track may bend?

No foolin' around!

A one-man presidential Sex Machine defense strategy didn't work for Gerald Ford, so there was no reason to expect different results under President Brown.

She'll work hard with a gun in her back for a bowl of rice a day.

Considering how much of the budget he blew on the ill-fated Sex Machine defense system, I'll call it a draw.

I just came from there. Good aura overall, but the Suede-Denim Secret Police are a bit of a bummer.

Hm, a "Krusty Burger." That doesn't sound too appetizing. What kind of stew do you have today?

My god, all that stuff about "your crush" was tremendous.

It's especially fun because Kevin seems to have even less desire to be part of the proceedings than he did on improv4humans. (That is the same Kevin, right?)

That’s another show full of people I like that I’ve somehow never gotten around to. Mark McKinney and Colton Dunn should be reason enough for me.

One of my favorite moments of the tour was actually after the tour, during the “Best of” episodes where Scott, Paul and Lauren talk about how thrilled they were to watch Neil absolutely kill it in front of his hometown crowd. It’s that sort of touching, genuine moment that reminds me why these shows have become more…

Oh man, I almost forgot the running "Larry" gags. Everybody doing impressions of Larry Angelo shrugging off the nonstop stream of domestic violence going on all around him was hilarious too.

The Lawnmower Man was an eminently worthy topic for How Did This Get Made?, and I’m always very happy to spend 90 minutes in the company of Neal Casey. I especially appreciated his suggestion of remaking the movie from the perspective of a tertiary female character. I also dug Paul’s blow-by-blow account of the…
