Books: Neal Pollack's Alternadad and Glasgow Phillips' The Royal Nonesuch

I just read that producer Bill Gerber ("The Dukes of Hazzard") bought the rights to Neal Pollack’s “Alternadad.” Yes, the news is two months old, but I'm reading the book, so it kinda peaked my interest being that it looks like Warneer Brothers might bring it to movie theaters. I now find myself more enthused about finishing the darn thing.

Since I'm on the subject of books, I’m also reading Glasgow Phillips’ “The Royal Nonesuch.” It’s an autobiographical account of his harried experiences in Hollywood (and eslewhere). At the same time, it's kind of a behind-the-scenes look at the South Park/Trey & Matt-success from the point of view of their friend.

I admire the way Phillips writes. The guy’s got skills.

Interview with Broken Lizard: Potfest & The Greek Road

I did a short interview with a couple of the Broken Lizard guys. Click here to give it a read.

We talked a little bit about the movie Potfest. Initially, the idea for Potfest was just a joke; a little thing that the guys put into the end credits of Beerfest. But what's happened is: Beerfest was a mild success, and the guys get so many questions about Potfest, they're now actually considerng making the movie.
