Plot:An intro warning of explicit sexual content, and John Belushi welcoming us to National Lampoon radio, into a skit about religious jokes, and into a montage of national lampoon covers. Billy Bob Thorton talking about how the first issue spoke to him, Judd Apatow speaks about how you wanted to be those guys. John Goodman having fun. Kevin Bacon said he looked for the magazine for the boobs. More quick cuts of different celebrities talking about how awesome and engrained national lampoon is in the American Zeitgeist. John Landis explains how and why 17-20's is the best years of our lives. And how it started as the Harvard Lampoon. Some of the early writers, including Fred Gwine. Doug Kenny was a founder, a performer who wanted to write as well. Henry Beard is his opposite, very smart, mysterious and elusive. The editor of Mademoiselle magazine saw a parody of the lampoon and offered $7K for them to do one for her magazine, and a free magazine. They did parodies of time, life, and even playboy, and thought they could do a real magazine. Chevy Chase talks about in your 20's every thing is possible. They go to New York, and they were basically laughed out of most offices, until 21st Century publishers. They made a deal that in 5 years, there was a forced buyout and could mean the publishers owe them a lot of money, and started national lampoon. First hire was Michael O'Donoghue, who was not harvard, but buffalo new york. He set the tone more than anything, being very outrageous. Tony Hendra, a british comedian, , Sean kelly, candian school teacher wanted to come to New York and write for the Lampoon as well, Anne Beatts, Brian McConnachie. They talk about Cloud art studios. The early issues were messy, and the duck on the cover. After 7 issues, they dump cloud. Michael Gross was brought in as art director, against Dougs will. They had one discussion about how to empower the parody, and Doug changed his mind and the direction of the magazine changed. They started making parodies that looked like the originals. S-John Landis is right, late high school through college are the best years of your life. The maximum amount of freedom, and the minimum amount of responsibility.-I never read national lampoon growing up, but I didn't realize it was so sexual. wow. They talked about everyone smoking weed, late dinners, lots of beers; they would get drunk, go home, sleep, get up and write a piece. Doug was the one who had the most ideas, pushed the envelope. Writing the letters column each month in about an hour. If someone brought an idea to Henry, he'd say "tempting" which could be good or bad. They looted culture from 1945-1970. The Vietnamese baby book. Doug came up with the photo funnies, because the audience identifies with the editors. The dog with a pistol to its head was a huge hit. They found a bunch of famous artists that had rejected art, and they could bring it to the lampoon to be what you want to be, and not edit them. They were losing money though, with no advertising. Gerod Taylor came in to sell advertising. Jose Cuervo was the first major advertiser, and the others quickly followed. A perfect storm moment of coming out of a war, and being free to talk about it. Billy Bob Thorton, talks about realizing you can tell the truth through humor. Biggest circulation was a million, estimate about 12 million readers. #1 on college campuses and #2 on magazine racks behind Cosmo. Then Doug left/disappeared. Left Henry a note saying he was done and leaving. Next, they talk about doing an album, Radio Dinner. It was successful and got nominated for a Grammy. They discuss Doug leaving, having a nervous breakdown/midlife crisis. Tony went to see him, and he was not doing well, having written 1.5 chapters into his novel...So further than Trey is on his novel. So they decided to do another album. This is where they find John Belushi. Chevy Chase talks about the urinal bit, and how they were holding themselves. The album became a 4 day show with lots of drugs. Henry was working 100 hours a week, and Doug came back very humbled. People were mad for him leaving. His novel wasn't very good and so he tossed it out the window. S:-The partying during the work time, sounds like Mad Men, but 10-20 years later.-Trey, hows your novel coming along? A brief parody turned into a special issue, the school year book. About the just 18 people in high school. Janis Hirsch is brought in to write, being the 3rd woman. They describe Doug as the personality of the magazine. Michael had a feud with Tony because Tony slept with his girlfriend. Michael got the national lampoon radio hour. A cancellation brought John Belushi and the second city crew. They go into the ethnic issues and how they're accused of being racist. Tony says the job of a satirist is to make the people in power uncomfortable. The biggest law suit they had was Volkswagon, about an article that Ted Kennedy would be president if he drove a Volkswagon. The growth of the magazine into having actors and musicians, and more famous and popular and caused strife. Michael quit over an argument with about his girlfriend having a desk. Moving on, they discussed the National Lampoon show with many of the same people from the radio hour. Ivan Reitman talks about offering some direction and Bill Murray showing him out. John Belushi was described as the director of the group, and the rock and roll of humor. They didn't keep John Belushi on retainer, and lost them to Saturday Night Live. They discussed how the wind was sucked out of their sails. MIchael Gross leaves as art director and Peter Kleinman came in. Now the buyout comes back up, and they were owed $7.5 million. Henry left as soon as the check was cashed. Mattie the publisher didn't want to lose Doug, and told him they were making a movie based on the year book edition, that became Animal House. PJ became the editor, and while the magazine became less high brow, it was very focused. They speak about John Hughs writing for the lampoon. Very darkly sexual. The publisher got a call from a studio exec saying he loved the mag, and if they wanted to make a movie, he wanted to. They talked about how Animal House came to be, Doug being on set daily, and needing to be there, having a good time, and the drugs. And the movie became a hit. Doug then goes to California to become a director and producer, a rising star. S:-They briefly go over things, and don't really go into them, like the Volkswagon thing. They turn to something about a disco beaver. They go into some of the new writers, and they discuss doing a article on Thurgood Marshall. They discuss the Doug Kenny movie Caddyshack, that it wasn't a lampoon movie, but it was a lampoon movie. Doug was depressed that Caddyshack wasn't as big as Animal House. Magazine was losing sales, so to sell more, they wanted more tits...that every 5th or 6th issue was a sex issue. All the writers were getting picked off to hollywood as the magazine failed. They discuss Doug doing a rail at 9am before a meeting. People talking about Doug being an coke addict. Chevy Chase and Doug went to Hawaii to get away for a bit, to decompress. Then Doug goes missing in Hawaii. Doug was found at the bottom of a canyon in 1980. Was it an accident, a suicide, or a drug deal gone wrong? They move into John Hughes doing Vacation, based on Vacation '58 lampoon article. They discuss the era as being the moldy bread era, just a gross out, as dark as you can get. Like a baby in a blender. So the lampoon lost most of its national sponsors. All the contributors reflect back on their years with the lampoon as a magic club, the people being important making modern comedy. A photo montage, and someone haring a story of Doug putting his dick in girls ears, at parties. Cut to black...and the holiday road song from Vacation. S:-I've never done coke... I can't even imagine what it would be like.

2010: I was a huge fan of Chris Miller’s work before he co-wrote Animal House. Arnold Roth has been a guest on this show, as was Gahan Wilson and Larry “Ratso” Sloman. I was even quoted in a Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies—but in the Village Voice, not the Lampoon. All of which leads me to this moment, in which Rick Meyerowitz, who was literally present at the birth of the National Lampoon, talks to me about "Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Writers and Artists Who Made the National Lampoon Insanely

The guys have something to say about BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II this week, but it’s not what you’d expect. Once they get that out of their system, Evan covers VICTORIA, which gets Dave speaking German and Franch, yes that’s right, Franch. After a brief tangent on ALIEN and confusion about who is in the movie 88 MINUTES, Evan talks about how VICTORIA takes a while to get going, becomes super tense, and then overstays its welcome. Then Dave jumps in to describe Idris Elba’s cockswagger in Cary Fukunaga’s BEASTS OF NO NATION, a good film also that overstays its welcome, on top of being heavy and horrifying. After that, Kris talks about THE LAST WITCH HUNTER’s magical dismemberment and why he loves Vin Diesel so much. Lastly, Dave stars in a new segment called Riedel’s Recaps, where he offers counterpoints to Kris and Evan’s previous reviews of STEVE JOBS and DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD.
The groundbreaking humor magazine National Lampoon was published from its New York City headquarters from 1970 through 1988, a time which encompassed some of the city’s most beloved and troubled eras. With the release of Douglas Tirolas documentary Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, writers and artists from the Lampoon discuss what it was like working for the famed publication. The conversation, which features Tony Hendra, Sam Gross, Peter Kleinman and Douglas Tirola was moderated by Jim Dwyer and recorded in front of a live audience on September 10, 2015 at New York's 92nd Street Y.
Tyler and David discuss what they've watched recently, including Sicario and Best in Show.
Kris and Evan fly duo this week since Dave can’t make it, but at least he’s able to call in and share a strange dream he had. After Evan and Kris ponder its meaning, they dive into this week’s movies. Kris starts off by reviewing the documentary HE NAMED ME MALALA, which disappointingly patronizes its subject. Then Evan talks about the documentary DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD, a funny, fast-moving movie with great music that recounts the history National Lampoon Magazine. Finally, both of them discuss TWIXT, a bizarre film by Francis Ford Coppola that neither of them knew about until they watched it on Netflix. They quickly discovered why. It’s just a strange flick that baffles them for a million reasons. Tangents this week include Crean family holiday movies and actors who are difficult to work with.
Douglas Tirola's outrageous documentary DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD: THE STORY OF THE NATIONAL LAMPOON, is an inside look at the rise and fall of the legendary humor magazine that launched dozens of careers and broke thousands of taboos. From the 1970s thru the 1990s, there was no hipper, no more outrageous comedy in print than The National Lampoon, the groundbreaking humor magazine that pushed the limits of taste and acceptability - and then pushed them even harder. Parodying everything from politics, religion, entertainment and the whole of American lifestyle, the Lampoon eventually went on to branch into successful radio shows, record albums, live stage revues and movies, including ANIMAL HOUSE and NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION, launching dozens of huge careers on the way, including John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest, Richard Belzer, Gilda Radner, Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray, Joe Flaherty, Harold Ramis, Michael O'Donoghue, Doug Kenney, Henry Beard, George W. S. Trow, Chris Miller, P. J. O'Rourke, Michael O'Donoghue, Chris Rush, Sean Kelly, Tony Hendra, Brian McConnachie, Gerald Sussman, Ellis Weiner, Danny Abelson, Ted Mann, Chris Cluess, Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jeff Greenfield, and John Hughes. As well as cartoonists, photographers and illustrators appeared in the magazine's pages, including Neal Adams, Gahan Wilson, Michael Sullivan, Ron Barrett, Peter Bramley, Vaughn Bode, Bruce McCall, Rick Meyerowitz, M. K. Brown, Shary Flenniken, Bobby London, Edward Gorey, Jeff Jones, Joe Orlando, Arnold Roth, Rich Grote, Ed Subitzky, Mara McAfee, Sam Gross, Charles Rodrigues, Buddy Hickerson, B. K. Taylor, Birney Lettick, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, Marvin Mattelson, Stan Mack, Chris Callis, John E. Barrett, Raymond Kursar and Andy Lackow. Director Tirola tells the story of its rise and fall through fresh, candid interviews with its key staff, and illustrated with hundreds of outrageous images from the magazine itself (along with never-seen interview footage from the magazine's prime). Director Tirola stops by to talk about the supernova of comedic satire that was The Lampoon and its influential legacy. For news and updates go to: magpictures.com/nationallampoon
This week's Movie Date podcast is filled with lessons, some of which involve handkerchiefs, some which end in cannibalism. For a chivalrous handkerchief lesson, there's "The Intern," starring Robert DeNiro as a wise 70-year-old intern working for a startup CEO played by Anne Hathaway. For a lesson in the drug wars along the U.S.-Mexico border, there's "Sicario," starring Emily Blunt as an idealistic FBI agent who enters morally murky waters. For a history lesson, there's "Stonewall," which looks at the LGBT rights movement in the 1960s and the Stonewall riots. And for a lesson on activism (which yes, ends in cannibalism), there's "Green Inferno." Special guest P.J. O'Rourke also joins the podcast, to discuss his days at the National Lampoon, and the new documentary about the magazine, "Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead." And Rafer and Kristen review the new "Muppets" for this week's Sweatpants segment. Of course, no Movie Date would be complete without trivia, and this week's question is a stumper!
