Craig Mazin is the showrunner behind HBO's hit post-apocalyptic series “The Last of Us” — but he didn't always write TV dramas. Much of his career was spent working on big comedy film franchises like “Scary Movie” and “The Hangover.” In this conversation with guest host Garvia Bailey, Craig breaks down why it takes a smart person to write dumb comedy, plus, what you can expect from Season 2 of “The Last of Us.” If you enjoy this conversation, check out Tom Power's chat with director and producer Barry Sonnenfeld.

EPISODE 198: We celebrate the life of an absolute legend of the acting world, by covering a film that not a lot of people talk about, and a genre that said actor didn't dip his toe in so often. The film GET SHORTY. The actor Gene Hackman. Join us, along with podcast extraordinaire Corey Morrissette, as this week we look at the film that took the words of Elmore Leonard, a best-selling author and brought them to life. When the mob meets Hollywood, all hell breaks loose! Does it translate well 30 years later?   What we discuss: Is this John Travoltas' best role? Was Gene Hackman made for comedy? Why doesn't Barry Sonnenfeld direct anymore? ...and so much more!   Follow Corey Morrissette and all the podcasts he runs: https://podcastwillrock.com https://ultimatecatalogueclash.com https://shows.acast.com/the-power-of-positive-geeking   Join our Patreon for as low as $1 for UNCUT versions of the episodes. https://patreon.com/dissectthatfilm Join any tier, including the free tier, for access to the DTF Discord Follow Dissect That Film on social media: https://instagram.com/dissectthatfilmpod https://x.com/dissectthatfilm https://bsky.app/profile/dissectthatfilm.bsky.social https://thread.net/@disectthatfilmpod https://facebook.com/dissecthatfilm For more go to our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/dissectthatfilm Intro/Facts: 0:00:00-0:20:19 Plot Breakdown: 0:20:19-1:43:09 Final Thoughts, Comments and Outro: 1:43:09-2:10:20

Mike White March rolls on, dragging Chris Stachiw deeper into the depths of Robin Williams' cinematic misfires! This time, RV (2006) sputters into the spotlight—a Barry Sonnenfeld-directed road trip comedy that desperately wants to be National Lampoon's Vacation but barely makes it out of the driveway. Williams stars as a workaholic dad who drags his reluctant family on an RV adventure, only to find himself locked in a battle against sewage mishaps, corporate deadlines, and the ever-affable Jeff Daniels. Screenwriter Richard Hatem joins Mike and Chris to break down the film's chaotic energy, mismatched humor, and whether RV deserves to be parked in the junkyard of bad Robin Williams flicks. Buckle up—it's going to be a bumpy ride!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

As a cinematographer, director and producer, Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, The Addams Family, Get Shorty) has done a lot in the world of film and TV.

Barry joins Tom Power to share some of those Hollywood stories, including the unique challenges of directing Michael Jackson on “Men In Black II” and the time he fired Donald Trump off of a Macy's commercial. Plus, he tells us why he became a Canadian permanent resident in 2016.

1999 is considered by many to be one of the greatest years of movies ever. So many modern classics came out in that year. We didn't want to review any of those, so, instead, we picked the Will Smith flop 'Wild Wild West'! You might know it only by the song that Will Smith raps in the credits, but it's a Western sci-fi comedy that co-stars Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek and Kenneth Branagh. It's also directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who did Men In Black, and is (partially) written by the two guys who wrote Tremors! So surely it can't be that bad... Right?

From March 11, 2020: Film and TV director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black, Addams Family, Get Shorty) talks about his career with some slightly naughty talk, as well as his book "Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker."  Enjoy one of my final pre-covid interviews where we are blissfully unaware of the garbage insanity ahead.

Comedian Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) joins us to talk a little about the very first Men In Black. How does the film hold up? Is it okay to like Will Smith again? How good was Barry Sonnenfeld at making this type of goofy genre movie? Why won't Hollywood just give Rick Baker a trillion dollars to keep making movie magic? All these questions and more are answered as Vespe, Wampler, and Gondelman look back at the highest earning movie of 1997. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
