PRAISING KANE returns with the notorious Elaine May-directed, Dustin Hoffman & Warren Beatty-starring bomb ISHTAR from 1986! Featuring those two as hapless songwriters who end up wrapped up in international intrigue in the middle east, it had a famously messy production but is it as bad as its reputation? Or as good as its revised reputation? Also, did you know Carol Kane is in it? SHE IS! But first we have to chat about the 1986 Cinemax comedy sketch special from Bob Goldthwait called DON’T WATCH THIS SHOW, with Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Kazurinsky, Dee Snider, (an uncredited) Robin Williams and – of course – CAROL KANE! It’s AWFUL! All this and the latest CK news so LISTEN!

On this episode of the world’s greatest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast, we’re taking a look at the odd coming-of-age nightmare comedy YOUTH IN REVOLT from 2009 where Michael Cera creates a sociopathic version of himself in order to impress a young woman he meets at a trailer park. Stuffed with great character actors (Jean Smart, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Mary Kay Place, M. Emmett Walsh), its episodic format takes some getting used to, but it’s much more interesting – and stranger – than the marketing would have you believe. Also, Steve Buscemi is in it (as Michael Cera’s father!). All of this and the latest Buscemi news, and all for FREE! You can’t pass up that deal.
On this episode of SLPS, Michael is joined by Robyn Ehrlich of Milwaukee Film to disccuss Christopher Guest’s “Waiting for Guffman”.
Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are headed to Barcelona, Spain in the 1984 action-comedy spectacular WHEELS ON MEALS, featuring Jackie and Yuen as food truck operators and Sammo as a hapless detective. Of course, we also get a pickpocket damsel in distress (Lola Forner), shenanigans in a mental hospital, car chases, foot chases and one of the best martial arts fights EVER between Jackie and kickboxer Benny “The Jet” Urquidez. We dive into the background and even spend some time chatting about Jackie Chan VIDEO GAMES. Lots to discuss, so let’s get to it!
On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at the Valentine’s Day horror romcom, Heart Eyes, directed by Josh Ruben, in theaters now.

All this and a look at George’s time as a pitchman for Schaefer Beer! JOIN US!
