Making Movies About Comedians

Off some rumors about an upcoming John Belushi biopic, we discuss what other comics would make for a good movie and what actors should play them. Which comedians have an interesting life story that would make for a good movie? Is it easier for a straight actor to pretend to do the comedy section of the movie, or a comedian to play the serious parts? And was there really a Belushi biopic made where the ghost of John Belushi gets drive around in a magic taxi? Yes. Yes there was.

Plus! South America! Mark McGuire as Dracula! And we blow the lid off of America's apathy towards fake kings!
