Episode 76: MacGruber

Rip some throats and lube up the celery, because on this very
special episode of Remainders we watch the 2010 cult classic
MacGruber. We dive deep into the very last, and possibly best,
SNL movie. Insanely confident as a comedy playing it straight as
an 80s action movie, we check out why this absurdist masterpiece
works so well. Crude, chaotic, and classic MacGruber.


Other topics include the careers of Will Forte, Val Kilmer and
Powers Boothe, Christopher Nolan’s love for MacGruber, Jon Hamm
and comedy, the 90s Batman movies and the reappraisal of the
campy spirit of those movies, studio marketing and The Studio
television show, the Coen Brothers, new physical media pickups,
the Avatar 3 trailer, favorite comedies of all time, A History of
Violence on Criterion, and whether Marlon Wayans was a Robin
action figure.
