Episode 183 – Travis McElroy on Reiner and Brooks – 2000 and One Years

COV_183_SD (1)

Your middlest brother, Travis McElroy, joins me this week ostensibly to talk about an admittedly great and not-often-enough-spoken-of-hyphen album, but we get off on a tangent when we discover Blazing Saddles is both of our favorite film.  But we come back.  I promise.

Episode 182 – Jeff Morris on Bad News

 

COV_182_SD

Dr. Demento’s archivist, memory acrobat and comedy lover, Jeff Morris picked a US re-release of an album by the UK “group” Bad News, featuring two members of The Young Ones and two other English comedians in an early-80s rock music parody that paralleled This Is Spinal Tap.

Episode 181 – Aline Brosh McKenna on Fiddler on the Roof

COV_181_SD

Okay, so I give my guests the options of some things that aren’t strictly comedy, when those things inspired them and at least have some comedic elements to them.  Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devils Wears Prada, 27 Dresses AND co-creator of friend of the show Rachel Bloom’s wonderful show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) took me up on the challenge and picked Fiddler on the Roof with Zero Mostel.  There are plenty of comedic songs in Fiddler, and Zero Mostel could be funny falling down a set of stairs.

BONUS: Rob Kutner talks about his new project, Runaway Brains, co-starring Ken Jennings, Weird Al, Michael Ian Black, Lauren Lapkus and a bunch of others.  Listen on howl.fm or get the first three free here: http://apple.co/1XjUw1c

Episode 180 – Billy Merritt on George Carlin – Take-Offs and Put-Ons

COV_180_SD

You’ve seen Billy Merritt on numerous shows.  If you’re lucky enough (like our own producer, Mike), Billy has taught you improv at UCB.  We had a great time talking about the mind-changing effect Carlin and this album had on how Billy thought about comedy.
