Movie Meltdown - Episode 327
This week we hangout with comedian and movie fan Ian Douglas Terry, as we talk about working as a stand-up comic today versus years ago, translating comedy to film, inappropriate kids movies and then we round things out as we discuss this week's Sofa Theater feature: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
And as we contemplate teaching
chimps to fly planes, we also mention... Mad Max: Fury Road, acting
wrestlers, Captain Ron, escaping from your hometown, The Dark
Crystal, Jason Segel, Malcolm X and 311, hawkmen, How I Met your
Mother, Russell Brand, Fast and Furious, I'm just all about
references, Return of the Jedi, cell phones killing people, Judd
Apatow, Xanadu, that always never works, The Muppets, Paul Rudd,
dragging your microphone cord out into the audience, George Miller,
Cash for Cats, Slap Shot, terrifying vulture people, Kristen Bell,
Ready to Rumble, the punk bank approach, Dracula, Mila Kunis, The
Rock, Denver, Neil Patrick Harris, that's the way I wish every
woman would look at me, drumming to Rush, Babe, No Holds Barred,
alligators and juggalos, I feel like most of my 20's I would view
relationships as like - that person was crazy. I did nothing wrong.
Like I was the hero. I tried my hardest, they obviously messed up,
paint-by-numbers romantic comedy, Linda Cardellini, DIY, Flash
Gordon, Nicholas Stoller, improv vs. Scientology, Labyrinth,
hypnotism, LaserDiscs and the career arc to becoming a weird boat
