Proudly Resents: The cult movie podcast

Keith and the Girl’s Keith and Chemda  talk about Chemda’s favorite film of all time, ever, “Drop Dead Fred.” Yikes. Phoebe Cates has an imaginary friend  (Rik Mayall) who comes back in her life doing his best Beetlejuice impression. Apparently Fred is not real. I thought he was. You agree with me, right?  Watch the movie here. Go to our Facebook page to tell Chemda what you think. Comedy writer and host Jonathan Corbett (“Dream Tweet”)  joins in too! Here’s a link to some interesting “Drop Dead Fred” Fanfiction. It seems like the people who wrote it, also think that Fred is real. I can’t believe I was the only one.  

  Andy Kaufman’s alter ego/favorite singer is and always will be Tony Clifton. Tony and Andy performed together and separately. Tony tells all about Kaufman. We’re backstage with Tony and his showgirls getting the inside scoop on Kaufman’s obsessions, is Andy dead, the sneaky way Jim Carey got the role in “Man on the Moon,” how Judd Apatow is involved and most importantly, THE DOCUMENTARY JIM CAREY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE. SEE TONY CLIFTON AT THE COMEDY STORE Next week, Keith and the Girl come by for a little “Drop Dead Fred” action! At the end of the show, there’s a bonus!

Sherman Hemsley died of cancer. Boring. Unless “Ghost Fever” is a form of cancer. In honor of the post Morten report, here’s the lost episode of “Proudly Resents” which features Joey La Pena and Mike Spiegelman talking about Sherman’s big flop “Ghost Fever.” This episode was pulled from rotation b/c Joey turned on his Iphone at the end of the show and messed up the audio. But the show is funny, breezy and different than the other show about this movie…why? Because Mike and Joey love this film. Also, different stories and background. At the end of the show we talk about other podcasts that we are listening to. What shows, besides the popular, usual suspects do you listen to?

Chet Waterhouse is back by popular demand! Jeff Cesario and Adam Felber’s show, “Chet and the Psycho Killer.” It’s a sports show and I know nothing about sports. Ok, the show hasn’t aired anywhere, Jeff wants to do a show with his very funny sports character and we recorded a couple of shows. Check it out, it’s very funny. Chet and the Psycho Killer Chet on Sports movies   Chet has appeared on many shows like Adam Carolla, Steve Gorman and his own podcast on Podcast One, “Play With Pain.” Thanks to Chris Gore, Jeff, Adam and Don the accountant.   Chet with Adam Felber Sports Movies A writer from the Oscars Tells (Almost) All

 Chris Pine, Jenny McCarthy, Steve Carell and Fred Savage all worked with actress Judith Benezra (The Moth) whether they knew it or not. Judith takes us through some of the rough patches of Hollywood films as we learn what happens when bad movies happens to good actors. Judith is great actress who has appeared in some the strangest films. “Blind Dating” is Chris Pine as a …wait for it… blind guy who goes on dates with women he’s never met. Fred Savage is in the unfortunate sex romp “The Last Run” and Jenny McCarthy gets dirty in “Dirty Love.” Plus, why “Evan Almighty” might have gone over budget. Joe Mortimer co-hosts. This was actually the 7 episode I ever recorded. It got lost and I just found the hard drive with the original audio. So don’t act like you heard, because you didn’t. But if you feel like you don’t want to hear it b/c it’s not new, I get it. At the end of today’s show there’s a bonus. Joe had this funny idea of reviewing a movie that had not come out yet. It’s way dated so I put it at the end instead of the beginning where it was originally. Note that she was the closest, but Judith guessed the wrong amount for the opening weekend of “Furry Vengeance.”

Rich Vos, Nikki Glaser and Bonnie McFarlane joined me on a panel at this year’s Blogworld Expo (now New Media Expo). I lead a talk about stand up comedians in podcasting.  Al Madrigal was supposed to be on the panel also, but he had to do a bit on “The Daily Show” that night. Thanks to Cliff Ravenscraft for setting up the talk. Hopefully, I’ll see you at New Media Expo in January. Read my pre-interview with Nikki Glaser. I apologize for my terrible mic technique. You have to hear the Question and Answer section at the end.

Vince Vaughn gets it on playing type in “Couples Retreat.” First an exclusive interview with very local sports radio legends “Chet & the Psycho Killer.” We try to find the best sports movie ever. Bob Powers and Joe Mortimer join me to talk about “Couples Retreat” and Adam Felber and Jeff Cesario participate in the sports interview. Also, a “Caption Contest.” Go to our Facebook page and leave a funny ha ha about the Spielberg photo.

Jimmy Dore & Stefane Zamorano are forced to watch Sherman Hemsley’s horror/comedy/kids’ film with cursing, “Ghost Fever.” Our first Alan Smithee film!  It’s a family friendly film about two cops and racist ghosts and monsters and other random stuff. It’s a family film, for the Manson family! BOOM! Seriously, this is a classic good/bad film. I personally love it, but Jimmy and Stef are pissed  they had to watch. This is the second time that I tried to review this film. Once with my bros Mike Spiegelman and Joey Lapenna. Joey f’ed up the ending by leaving his Iphone on and f’ed up the radio waves. If you want to hear it, let me know. The lost tape! Next week is a holiday, so I’m going to take the week off. It’s our birthday, not yours, Nicko!

(Part 2)Bobcat Goldthwait (“God Bless America”) opens up about his rise to stardom at a young age. His first time on Letterman. His unique choices of movies.

BUY ANY OF HIS FILMS BY CLICKING ON THE TITLE. (The show will get a piece of the action!) “God Bless America”, “Shakes the Clown”, “Police Academy”, “Sleeping Dogs Lie,”, “Windy City Heat.” Bobcat is a great guy and a good friend. He came in and opened up and was completely honest about his films, fans and life. Actually he was so open that I’ve split this up into to parts. Listen to part 1 proudlyresents.com/bobcat1.

(part 1)Bobcat Goldthwait’s latest “God Bless America” is only his fourth film as writer and director and in one of the most unusual film careers imaginable.

Even Bill Cosby can make mistakes. Conan writer Josh Comers and comedian Jeff Cosgrave (“Lopez Tonight”) join me to talk about a classic fumble, “Leonard Part 6.” Go to itunes! After Cosby saw how bad this film was he went around telling people not to see it. Way to be honest. But at some point you must have known it was going pear shape. We recorded on May Day and there were protests right outside the studio. We talk like there were a million people, but from the pictures you can tell it wasn’t that insane. At the top of the show we make jokes about race. We are of course kidding. It’s a comedy show. We love everyone and hate ourselves. If you have any complaints send them to @joshcomers. *The end audio is fixed so you can hear Eric Scheaffer’s voice message.

The Director of “If Lucy Fell” and “My Life’s In Turnaround,”  Eric Schaeffer, talks about life as an indie director. How he went from cabbie to indie darling and back again. (Not really back, but it sounded good.) He addresses The fall out he had with his partner and the reunion. Also sex in his films, casting and we even get a cameo from his mom. His other works include, “Fall,” “After Fall Winter” and the TV shows “Gravity” and “They’re Out of the Business.” WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS DIRTY! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! It’s the full interview. That’s for Tony Klootwijk and John Kelmer. Dan McKoy, you can press pause and hear the rest later this week.

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts slow things up in “Larry Crowne.” Comedians Auggie Smith and Joe Mortimer join us (me). Plus the show biz story of how Auggie got book on Lopez the day we got cancelled. If life is like a box of chocolates, then “Larry Crowne” is that creepy orange piece that you spit out.
