Comedian (soon to be film composer?) Eric Andre and composer-producer Prateek Rajagopal (co-writer, executive producer, and the man whose range runs from The Mandalorian to India's premier death metal export GUTSLIT) bring their new BLARF album “Film Scores for Films That Don't Exist” to SCORE. An orchestral fever dream five years in the making, recorded with live players in Los Angeles and Budapest, and the unlikely creative partnership nobody saw coming. And why Eric Andre is ready to become a film composer (and has beef with John Williams).How a Berklee-trained upright bassist became one of comedy's most chaotic forces, and how Prateek — whose credits span Hollywood, Bollywood and immersive media, with contributions to projects by Bobby Krlic, Ludwig Goransson and Joseph Shirley — became the secret weapon who turned five years of Eric's voice memos into a full orchestral album.Plus, why BLARF evolved from sample-clearance nightmares to full symphonic chaos, and what does Dead Ballerina actually look like in their heads? Plus, the Ennio Morricone influence that drives the whole project, the death metal detonation hiding inside the track “What's for Dinner” (guess which one pushed for that), how this album is inspired by Nine Inch Nails' Ghost, and why Eric destroyed a piano with an axe. Also, the unaired Eric Andre Show sketch that passed S&P clearance and still got killed (a pro-Al Qaeda country song he sings in full), details on a role in the new Street Fighter film (Jason Momoa had other plans), and all the times Eric was nearly stabbed, shot or beaten up for his gags.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader at Stonesthrow Studios in Los Angeles. Production coordination by Dan Russell.

But, a little-known fact about Tommy's career is that he was the head writer of WWE (WWF at the time)) during their most successful period, starting in 1999, taking over for Vince Russo, who left for the competition. This podcast, Tales from the Attitude Era will be a retrospective of Tommy's time in the head writer position and the roller coaster ride that is pro wrestling, co-hosted by Rob Pasbani. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listen to Eric's podcast “Bombing with Eric Andre” from iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Podcast Network –– with new episodes every Wednesday Eric Andre rolls in an hour late and somehow still steals the episode. The boys break down YMCA shower farts, sleep apnea setups, and why every redhead is a gamble. Mark and Sam pour Lagavulin 16 while debating whether Cary Grant was bisexual and if showing your feet online is the new stand-up comedy. Eric shares how The Eric Andre Show almost got chopped up for Quibi, confesses he's not drinking much (until he is), and reveals his secret weapon for bombing with grace: texting moms from hecklers' phones. This one's got old-man gym gear, OnlyFans chihuahua crimes, DVD nostalgia, anal fissures, and the real reason Jimmy Stewart never took his shirt off. Strap in, it gets weird. Sponsored by:

Eric Andre is a human fever dream in the form of a comedian. Best known as the creator and host of The Eric Andre Show—a surreal, anarchic explosion of late-night anti-comedy—he's pushed the boundaries of absurdity, performance art, and public mayhem. Whether he's freeing the nipple on national TV, terrorizing Times Square in a cockroach costume, or voicing characters in cult cartoons like Disenchantment, Eric is chaos with a cause. Now, he brings his brain-melting energy to the mic with Bombing with Eric Andre, a podcast where comedy meets catastrophe, and no guest leaves unscathed. #ericandre #andrewsantino #whiskeyginger #podcast ============================================================= Sponsor Whiskey Ginger: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/whiskeyginger SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS STITCH FIX TAILORED STYLE AND FASHION https://stitchfix.com/whiskeyginger SQUARESPACE GET 10% OFF YOUR ORDER https://squarespace.com/whiskey ETHOS COVERAGE FOR AS LOW AS $10 A MONTH https://ethoslife.com/whiskey NORD VPN 4 MONTHS FREE WITH A 2 YEAR PLAN https://nordvpn.com/whiskey ======================================= Follow Andrew Santino: https://www.instagram.com/cheetosantino/ https://twitter.com/CheetoSantino Follow Whiskey Ginger: https://www.instagram.com/whiskeygingerpodcast https://twitter.com/whiskeygingerpodcast Produced and edited by Joe Faria https://www.instagram.com/itsjoefaria Learn more about your ad choices.
