Almost Friday Podcast

Today we are joined by Cooper Tomlinson from the "That’s A Bad Idea" sketch group to talk about his new psychological thriller Obsession, the importance of the communal theater experience, and the "creature feature" genre. Will confesses that he gave up a childhood stop-motion claymation career because of a friend's comment, Liam reveals he is doing a documentary-style watch-through of every Shia LaBeouf film, and Cooper describes the surreal experience of seeing his own billboards on the way to the studio.

We’re breaking in the brand new studio with Sam Brown and diving right into the “Renaissance” of video game adaptations and doing comedy in the daylight. This ep involves a high stakes game nobody’s ever heard of, a Shark Tank pitch for an MRI milking machine, and a depressing realization about the director of Jeepers Creepers.
