We had the pleasure of talking to actor, director, writer, and improviser, the great Joel Murray! Joel joins Jason to share some awesome stories throughout his career, from growing up seeing his brothers Bill Murray and Brian Doyle-Murray and other legends at Second City before becoming a performer there to meeting previous guest Dave Pasquesi in college. Joel reflects on his early days with Del Close, memorable roles in iconic films like 'One Crazy Summer,' and his experiences on TV shows such as 'Mad Men.' He also provides valuable insights into the craft of improv, emphasizing the importance of eye contact and genuine reactions on stage. This engaging conversation offers a deep dive into the world of improvisation and Joel's illustrious career.

No. 374 - Joel Murray Talks Mad Men, Improv, and More

We’re deep into our second annual Christmas movie theme and we haven’t mined any material from, or inspired by, the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol”. Fuck it, this year we’ll do two adaptations and maybe catch an old version of the story next year. This particular adaptation was prime basic cable Christmas break material when we were kids and in many ways it holds up and even impresses in certain ways. Bill Murray could carry a comedy in the 80s and his leading role of a stingy TV executive Scrooge-stand-in does deliver some quality jokes bouncing off of an extended comedic cast. Richard Donner’s 1988 Christmas comedy “SCROOGED” remains pretty worthy holiday cheer and there’s no shortage of prime 80s stars including Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, David Johansen, Alfre Woodard and Karen Allen. There’s also some nice appearances from veteran actors of TV and film such as Robert Mitchum, John Forsythe, John Houseman and Buddy Hackett. Miles Davis is even in this thing. Folks, you gotta bring out the bells and whistles when you’re adapting a story that everybody knows. You gotta throw some horror in there. Maybe even a little sadism. Just go with it. You might like it.

Was würdet ihr tun, wenn ihr in einer Zeitschleife stecken würdet? Alle Videospiele nachholen, die mittlerweile auf eurem Pile of Shame gelandet sind? Eine Sprache lernen? Sind wir mal ehrlich: Zumindest für eine begrenzte Zeit wäre so eine Zeitschleife doch ziemlich praktisch. Wobei .... Das mit den Videospielen würde schon wieder nicht so gut funktionieren, denn euer Spielstand würde ja mit jedem Neustart der Schleife zurückgesetzt werden. Dass das Leben in einer Zeitschleife in der Tat ziemlich mies ist, erfährt Phil Connors (Bill Murray) in Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier am eigenen Leib. Seine Geschichte ist einer der großen Kinoklassiker der 90er. Wir haben ihn uns angeschaut und sind ... geteilter Meinung.

Folge 127 - Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier

"The Friend" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances from Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, and the Great Dane Bing, and the writing and direction from filmmakers Scott McGehee & David Siegel that made audiences laugh and cry. Based on the 2018 novel by Sigrid Nunez, the film tells the story of a New York City writer who reluctantly inherits a Great Dane named Apollo from her dearly departed friend but soon comes to realize it may be the best thing that's ever happened for her in order to move on from her grief. McGehee & Siegel were both kind enough to speak with me about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy!
