Movie Meltdown - Episode 382
This week we welcome our special
guest co-host comedian Bert Kreischer. Join us as
we talk about getting into comedy, becoming part of the podcast
world, being the inspiration for the movie Van Wilder and
the Rolling Stone interview that started it all. Then we
change gears to this week's Sofa Theater feature...
Fletch. Where we discuss whether this
Chevy Chase comedy holds up today... and just how it has influenced
Bert's life overall.
And as we repeatedly put on
ridiculous disguises throughout the show, we also mention...
Snoop's podcast, Dane Cook vs. Ryan Reynolds, doing drugs at
fourteen, Milo Yiannopoulos, singing and acting, Laughable,
Godfrey, I would definitely say I made my career on podcasting,
Bill Burr, I wanna say in a weird way it helped form who I am
today, comedy is not about the set you have... it's about the set
you're working on, Charlie Murphy, Ethan and Hila Klein, When I got
into comedy I felt like... so outside of it, because everyone
seemed to know every comic working, Tom Papa, dead or rehab or
sober, Hannibal Buress, the movie... in a way defined my life, two
of them thought it was me prank calling them, Joe Rogan, Dana
Wheeler-Nicholson, Dave Chappelle, that's the art
form is making strangers laugh, Ari Shaffir, we're making comedy
for everyone... not just for people with hipster ideals, Jay Mohr,
send me in for wacky neighbor number three, Doug Benson, it's a
journey not a race, Sam Harris, And they seemed to have influences,
I had no influence coming into comedy, I got into comedy because I
like laughing, Neal Brennan, very few podcasts are authentic, A
League of their Own, being a campaigner, what is this soul-less
thing sitting there reading the teleprompter, Marc Maron,
outroverted but introspective, Erik Hedegaard, My Favorite Murder
and an interesting game of... let's try to guess where Chevy
Chase's career went south.
Spoiler Alert: I'm not sure we
really spoil Fletch, but just in case you should go watch
it anyway. I mean, why wouldn't you want to watch it
(again)?
"We only really had that one
week together... but it changed my life totally."
