Summer's over, and this could be the last week that our fearless heroes are podcasting from out of iO. This week Brian and Marty talk about their very first on-camera interview on Revver Live. Marty reflects on the opening weekend of "Everybody Wants to Be Italian." Then the boys discuss why there can be No MTV for Old Men. Brian recounts a very busy night of improv, and finally Affirmatron considers [straightens tie] what is the deal with actors in L.A.
Plug: Affirmatron will be performing at the Sunday Smorgasbord at iO West this Sunday, the 14th, at 8 p.m. Come out and feel the love.
What a crazy time it is here at Affirmatron HQ! First off, Marty and Brian recollect their performance at the Sunday Smorgasbord at iO West. Then, they talk about a super awesome opportunity we got to go on Revver Live and get interviewed (You can see our appearance here. It's the 9/2/08 episode. There are some NSFW portions, not by us, so be warned). Up next a blatant plugfest of “Everybody Wants to Be Italian” (featuring Marty and finally in select theaters this Friday. To see if it's opening near you, click here.) turns into a discussion about Hollywood stereotypes and sexual harassment in the biz behind closed doors. The boys round it all up with an exploration of avoiding fights in the hot summer nightlife of Hollywood Boulevard, and the seedy underbelly of first jobs as kids.
Radio Free Hollywood is back from Silver Lake once more, although quite pointedly NOT from the suckfest of Sunset Junction. As iO West is now open again, Marty and Brian recap the most trying summer that has strained their heretofore storied bromance.
A discussion of their now past performance at iO’s Sunday Smorgasbord turns into a recollection of Laura Krafft’s sketchwriting class and what it must be like to have to abandon one’s life and move cross country for a gig. Marty lets us know about the September 5 limited release of “Everybody Wants to Be Italian” (check out to see if it’s coming to your city initially here and he'll let you know when it's getting a wider release), then the boys talk traffic, “Tropic Thunder,” and checking out the caliber of competition at auditions.
Finally, they round it all out by talking about not talking about politics.
Thanks for bearing with us as we work through that which has been dealt us!
The boys are back in Hollywood this week, and talk about the ongoing renovations to the iO West bar. Also up for discussion:
-Brian got a gig!
-How to make your reel!
-And how awesome are Neil Patrick Harris and the Muppets?
Then Affirmatron offers up their hatorade on remakes, focus groups and nepotism in Hollywood!
Make sure to check out the Affirmatron pilot: “The Affirmatron Ultimatum” on Friday, August 1st at www.dailymotion.com/affirmatron
