Listen "Episode 76: MacGruber"
Episode Synopsis
Rip some throats and lube up the celery, because on this very special episode of Remainders we watch the 2010 cult classic MacGruber. We dive deep into the very last, and possibly best, SNL movie. Insanely confident as a comedy playing it straight as an 80s action movie, we check out why this absurdist masterpiece works so well. Crude, chaotic, and classic MacGruber.Other topics include the careers of Will Forte, Val Kilmer and Powers Boothe, Christopher Nolan’s love for MacGruber, Jon Hamm and comedy, the 90s Batman movies and the reappraisal of the campy spirit of those movies, studio marketing and The Studio television show, the Coen Brothers, new physical media pickups, the Avatar 3 trailer, favorite comedies of all time, A History of Violence on Criterion, and whether Marlon Wayans was a Robin action figure.Songs of the WeekJealous Heart by Connie FrancisI Just Want You by Ozzy OsbourneRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
