#74 – THE HANGOVER and over

Posted on by

Alan (Zach Galifianakis) awaits his flight to "Thigh-land" in 'The Hangover Part II.'

On tap this week is the (sort of but not really) new comedy The Hangover Part II, Woody Allen’s likeable farce Midnight in Paris and, briefly, the Edgar Wright-produced action/comedy Attack the Block.

For our Picks of the Week, John says the new David Byrne rockumentary Ride, Rise, Roar is worth your time. And we both agree that Jason Robard’s 1965 film, and Best Picture nominee, A Thousand Clowns is a nice find among MGM’s new online only retail offerings. John also recommends David Niven’s 1975 flick Old Dracula.

We recorded this episode at Panera Bread across the street from the Coolidge Corner Theater. As always, we tried to find a quiet spot to record. Our apologies for any obtrusive background noise.

Our Interview with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (‘Paul’)

Posted on by

"Welcome to our strange little world." - Clive (Nick Frost) and Greame (Simon Pegg) consider the implications of inadvertent alien abduction in Rogue Pictures 'Paul.'

John, Bob Chipman (a.k.a Movie Bob and The Game Overthinker) and I recently spoke with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost about the making of their new film Paul, which opens nationwide on Friday.

Among the subjects traversed is: perfecting the American accent, filming the Pre-Paul-Test movie, casting Seth Rogan, the religious themes in Paul, and the next Star Trek film – at least an attempt was made to extricate information about that.
