Too bad Screwed didn't come up. Of the two movies that Norm Macdonald was ever the lead actor in, Screwed is definitely his most underrated film and also, quite possibly, his best.

Gabe wins one! My dumbass forgot about that movie! I was thinking a guide to recognizing your saints.

On an all-new, epic 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Ben and interim co-host Jim Healy take a deep dive into deep space to dissect an all-time sci-fi/body horror classic, Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece, ALIEN.

Come for the atmosphere, cinematography, naturalistic performances and profound mystery, stay for ribald stories of Miss Hidden Valley, Johnny Dangerously, Francis Veber, and an intense game of "Which film has aged better,  ________ or Alien?"

Ep. 40 - Alien

Cool people don’t really like to talk about themselves — and Aly Jados (of the super awesome Chicago band Blood People) is really cool, so she REALLY doesn’t like to talk about herself. But all that reserved reticence won’t stop the guys from pestering Aly about her dad’s guitar, scary band names, her new Monday bowling nights, making heavy music that’s catchy as fuck, singing Steven Tyler songs in front of Steven Tyler, favorite Metallica songs, Punky Brewster, ghosts, and Gabe’s scented balls.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! On this special mini-edition of The LIFERS Podcast we discuss the greatest Thanksgiving TV episode of all time: Episode 7 of WKRP IN CINCINNATI — “Turkeys Away”. Oh, the humanity.

145. LIFERS - Gabe Rodriguez’s Thanksgiving TV Corner: WKRP

Picture the scene: You’re a young screenwriter getting your first taste of success — but it’s with a movie that didn’t quite come out the way you wanted and the victory feels hollow. Suddenly, you find yourself being typecast as a writer of silly comedies while the industry boxes you out and the opportunities and (self)respect begin to slip away. What do you do? If you’re Larry Karaszewski (and long time screenwriting partner Scott Alexander) you swerve hard out of that lane and typecast YOURSELF as auteurs of your own re-invented genre: The Anti-Biopic! Out of this savvy strategy the enduring classic ED WOOD is born and you are swept up in Hollywood’s warm and loving embrace. Cut to a montage of THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, MAN ON THE MOON, BIG EYES and a lifetime of accolades, happiness and total fulfillment. THE END! On this episode we talk to Larry about going to inappropriate movies at the drive-in with his dad, a college experience that actually paid off, writing PROBLEM CHILD and then watching Robert DeNiro watch it, having a roommate that wrote HEATHERS, resurrecting Frank Perry, producing AUTO FOCUS, David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian, orphan films, Milos Forman, and we pick the best(!!!) New York movies.
