I just got to the little diversion at the end where they tacked on a talk about records. It's basically the same convo Marc has had with 50 other people, but I love the jubilation he experiences when he encounters another people who listens to the same things he likes.

Oh wait, Linklater just said "disco sucked" and then immediately walked it back. Then slammed rap. rmde

The key to my continuing enjoyment of Linklater's films is to ignore him as a person. He used to pimp Alex Jones bullshit and was passing out 9/11 Truther docs on the set of one of his movies.

i thought maron and pt anderson brought out something like the worst -- most pretentious and preening -- in one another. reminded me that although i admire some of his movies (or at least aspects of them), i still think anderson is fundamentally pretentious and shallow.

the drivers license story is great, though he didn't tell it very well.
I hope Marc was smart enough to grease the wheel of possibly getting Conway in for an episode.

Really enjoying the Andrea Martin one, even though I'm not sure I know who she is exactly. When Marc talks to women his age or older it's invariably great.

been catching up on a backlog of these recently. i had to give up on the melanie lynskey ep about 30 minutes in because mark's awkward flirting and insistence on getting her to agree that she was codependent was making me feel kinda queasy.

Didn't realize that Mike Judge's natural speaking voice is for the most part just "Butthead". This is great.

Loved Judge's story about the only way he got Gary Cole to crack a smile on set during Office Space was that coffee cup improv during the Aniston "sex scene".

I kept getting flashes of either Hank Hill or Butthead when listening to Mike Judge, that one & Schwartzman were very enjoyable.
― virtuoso thigh slapper (Jordan), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 15:40 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I liked the Schwartzman one. He came across as way more likable than I thought he would be. Considering the family he grew up in, he seems really grounded too.

definitely. he made me feel very lazy too, talking about working on music for three hours every night (!) after his family goes to bed.

What do you think someone could come away from the interview with apart from "seems to have written a book that isn't selling and is maybe touring in a panto"?

^^ this bit was hilarious. Maron can be such a prat at times indeed. "I believe you were the ENEMY once?"
― tayto fan (Michael B), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 13:05 (nine years ago) link
Cameron Esposito is great and funny, but I feel like she's turned into the comedy podcast community's resident "ask a lesbian" guest and this Maron interview is no different.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 February 2015 16:47 (nine years ago) link
turned into or wilfully positioned herself as?
― oochie wally (clean version) (sic), Monday, 9 February 2015 21:24 (nine years ago) link
I think that's a fair criticism, but about halfway through her interview with Marc, she makes some comments to the effect of "I can only imagine if when I were coming out, there were people like me saying the things I'm saying about being a lesbian. It would have made things so much easier." She totally has a little bit of a cause in her art. Not an issue for me, but it is there. Marc attempts to back off the lesbian discussion a couple times, too.
I think she's pretty funny and quite intelligent and insightful.
― Hydroelectric New Deal Demiurge (B.L.A.M.), Monday, 9 February 2015 21:24 (nine years ago) link
Oh yeah, love her. I just hate seeing her become so one dimensional in the context of all these male-driven podcasts (which is probably just a reflection of how many male-driven podcasts I listen to).

christ, the nick tosches episode is a drag. two old men yelling at clouds, made worse by the fact that tosches sounds like mr plinkett of redlettermedia
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 20:48 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'm about halfway in and considering giving up. Given Maron's intro, I was hoping for some more delving into the seediness of old Hollywood but, nope.

yeah i couldnt finish that nick tosches interview, just as i thought he was about to say something interesting he veers off into some boring rant about cellphones and the internet...with maron only too happy to encourage him

anyone ever read his books? ive been intrigued but its waned after that interview

i read the dean martin, jerry lee lewis and sonny liston ones years ago, and I enjoyed them at the time, so i was looking forward to hearing what he had to say. unfortunately it turned out to be cripplingly dull :(
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:02 (nine years ago) link
you all need to be honest with yourselves. but no, you won't do it. because you are too scared! scared of maron and tosches! so you missed their mind expanding conversation about twitter.

― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:27 (nine years ago) link
yeah - it really could go either way. it will be great if he reads her book (which is good and has plenty of family and relationship stuff for Maron to get armchair shrinky about) and it will be horrible if he asks a bunch of dad questions about rock music.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:36 (nine years ago) link
it's funny though - lots of disdain in that book for men in their 50's with peter pan syndromes - but she'll probably go easy on him
