Join us on In The Room podcast for a conversation with the brilliant Bob Byington, tracing his journey from SXSW breakout to indie darling. From "RSO [Registered Sex Offender]" to "Infinity Baby", Byington's films have captivated audiences with their wit and originality. Now, with "Lousy Carter" starring David Krumholtz, available on most streaming platforms, Byington continues to push boundaries. Don't miss our chat about his unique vision and the magic of indie filmmaking! #InTheRoomPodcast #LousyCarter #BobByington #IndieFilm #DavidKrumholtz #SXSW

Lousy Carter is a scrappy little indie with sharp dialogue, funny performances, playful editing, and bowling alley funerals about a failed animator-turned-lit-professor “teaching” The Great Gatsby who goes a little Nabokov after receiving the news that he has six months left to live. Featuring a solid ensemble cast and a wonderful lead performance from David Krumholtz is an enjoyably meandering, comedically sour journey that with have you smitten by its curmudgeonly charms.  We had the pleasure of checking out a screening with writer/director Bob Byington and actress Luxy Banner in attendance, which we recorded for your listening pleasure.     Caution: You're entering spoiler territory.

This week I was thrilled to chat with star David Krumholtz and writer-director Bob Byington about their new movie, Lousy Carter. It's a wide-ranging conversation, touching on topics from shooting during the age of Covid to where Krumholtz was when he got the call to audition for Oppenheimer, and I hope you find it as fun to listen to as it was for me to conduct. If you enjoyed it, I hope you share it with a friend. A little extra this week: I hope you check out both Lousy Carter and Byington's body of work. Everyone says they're tired of the same old mush at the multiplex; well, here's a chance to dive into a body of work you may not be familiar with. Some highlights: Byington and Krumholtz previously worked together on Frances Ferguson, which you can watch for free on Amazon Prime; it is charmingly dry and occasionally cutting without coming across as meanspirited. Star Kaley Wheless gives a realistic and somewhat complicated performance as the substitute teacher convicted of sleeping with an (of-legal-age) student, while Krumholtz's turn at the end as a group therapist is both humorous and humane. Somebody Up There Likes Me (available for free on Peacock and for rental elsewhere) is an amusing look at a slacker floating through life starring Nick Offerman and Keith Poulson, and the framing device—we skip ahead five years each sequence, giving us 35 years in the life of Poulson's character—is weirdly affecting. The passage of time comes for us all, or some such. Infinity Baby (streaming on Kanopy and Amazon) is probably the oddest of these four films: set in the not-too-distant future, Kieran Culkin's Ben works for a pharmaceutical company that accidentally made babies that never grow older. He's interesting as a free-floating cad—and Culkin is an absolutely magnetic screen presence—but I think the best performance belongs to Martin Starr (Silicon Valley, Party Down). He's playing slightly against type here: rather than a sure-of-himself-know-it-all, he's a little more fidgety, a little unsteady. And that unsteadiness pays off in the film's closing moments, as we see the results of an unexpected responsibility.

It's a special MID-WEEK EPISODE, in honor of Friday's release of acclaimed director Bob Byington's latest, “Lousy Carter.” Join us as we talk with Bob about the current indie landscape and the films of 1994, from the art of “Red” to the commerce of “Speed” to the pleasures of “The Hudsucker Proxy.” Become a member for Bonus Episodes, personal stories of working in the industry, and yes - EVEN MORE MOVIES. https://plus.acast.com/s/a-very-good-year.

This week I'm joined by David Rosen of the Piecing It Together podcast to discuss Bob Byington's 2015 slacker comedy, 7 Chinese Brothers. The film stars not one but two Coppola Connectees in Jason Schwartzman and his real life French Bulldog, Arrow Schwartzman along with Eleanor Pienta, Olympia Dukakis, Tunde Adebimpe and Stephen Root. We discuss the films laid back approach to storytelling, the specific world view of the film and it's characters and if we can get on board with an unlikeable protagonist.Piecing It Together on TWITTERPiecing It Together on INSTAGRAMPiecing It Together on APPLE PODCASTSPiecing It Together on SPOTIFYPiecing It Together WEBSITEAnna Bogutskaya's 'Why Nicolas Cage is Hollywood's most misunderstood star' article for BBC CultureSUPPORT CAGED IN on PATREONBUY A PRINT NOW CAGED IN on TWITTERCAGED IN on INSTAGRAMCAGED IN on LETTERBOXDCAGED IN on FACEBOOKEMAIL CAGED IN NOWCaged In is apart of the Breadcrumbs Collective, head over to the WEBSITE to get all episodes of this show as well as other great shows.

"A small town reacts to a scandal" might be the official synopsis, but it doesn't even begin to describe director Bob Byington's indie comedy Frances Ferguson starring the remarkable Kaley Wheless. Enter the mind and dry wit of Byington.

This interview features director Bob Byington and actor Kaley Wheless as they discuss their feature film Frances Ferguson. The conversation took place at the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.

Chris McKenna tells us about his day job writing for Marvel, while his friend and longtime collaborator Bob Byington talks about carving his career through indie film.

On this special episode we follow up Episode 124's conversation about Frances Ferguson with an interview with the film's writer/director Bob Byington. Known for his bone dry indie comedies, getting to talk to Bob was awesome, especially since this movie about a woman whose life spirals after an affair with her student is one of my favorites of the year.

From 2009: Joining filmmaker Bob Byington in this interview is "Harmony and Me" actress and producer Kristen Tucker. In the film, she plays Jessica, the woman who dumps Harmony and bursts his heart in a million, billion pieces, setting the action in motion.

There is, perhaps, no actor at the moment more synonymous with New York indie filmmaking than Keith Poulson. His uncanny comedic sensibilities first caught my attention in Bob Byington’s “Somebody Up There Likes Me.” He’s since honed his mastery of the low key “throw away” in dozens of low budget gems and appeared in nearly everything made recently by the prolific Brooklyn filmmakers Alex Ross Perry and Nathan Silver. He got to stretch his wings a bit in Zach Clark’s “Little Sister,” where he played a severely disfigured Iraq War veteran. We talk about the incestuous world of independent film acting in New York City, why he can’t do sit-coms, and the beauty of Ctrl-F. 

This week, we’re kicking off our SXSW coverage on a particularly high note. That’s because this interview features arguably the best voice we’ve ever had on the podcast in Nick Offerman, and also one of the best laughs we’ve ever had on the show in actress Trieste Kelly Dunn. They are joined by acclaimed indie director Bob Byington to discuss the creation of Infinity Baby, a film that premiered to uproarious laughter at the festival last week. The film is a convergence of three separate narratives surrounding a corporation that sells a highly unusual product: babies that never age. So while Byington may have made a name for himself with naturalistic movies like 7 Chinese Brothers, the surrealistic elements of Infinity Baby’s plot act as a springboard to the intricate dialogue of screenwriter Onur Tukel and grounded performances from Offerman, Kelly Dunn and the rest of the cast. We talk about how script supervising may be the best training ground for directors, how Nick Offerman overcame being a "sucky actor," and how sometimes if you want to get your break in Hollywood, all you have to do is make sure you have fresh laundry.

Writer-director Bob Byington and actor Jason Schwartzman discuss their new film, a quirky comedy about a slacker who finds purpose in life.

These red carpet interviews highlight narrative short and feature films, including: The Dead Lands, The Bridge Partner, Safelight, 7 Chinese Brothers, Reminiscent, and Eadweard.
