  • Tremendous!!!

    What a fun and real podcast, Dana and David are a great combo, these guys are some of my favorite comedic actors. I had no idea they had a podcast until I saw clips of the Brendan Fraser episode on instagram. They are my new favorite podcast. I love podcast in general, typically I pick and choose certain episodes, not on this show, keep em rolling. All are great!

  • Hey, you guys got beef with Colin Farrell?

    Fly on the Wall! An excellent pod. I listen to every episode. I enjoy the smart and funny banter between David and Dana, and every guest invited to the pod. Now, that said, after the recent conversation with Brandon Fraser, it sounds as though someone’s got beef with Colin Farrell. Is that the case? If not, invite the man to the pod — Farrell is a helluva an actor, not a bore, and he’s got more than a few colorful stories to share.

Yes, it's acknowledged as a topic of interest among fans and the hosts, with enthusiasm about the potential but no definitive confirmation at the time of the chat.
Brendan Fraser on Eisenhower, The Mummy 4, and Chris Farley
Q: What was Brendan Fraser's process for preparing to play Dwight D. Eisenhower in Pressure?
Brendan explains that he studied Eisenhower's body type and leadership style, focusing on authentic portrayal rather than trying to imitate a perfect likeness; he leaned on the script and collaboration with the director, while adjusting his approach to fit the historical figure and the film's needs.
RE-RELEASE - Judd Apatow
Q: What do you think separates mega stars from the rest of the elite?
There isn't a simple formula; it's a mix of talent, timing, and marketplace dynamics, plus relentless work and repeated opportunities to prove oneself, which makes stardom partly luck and partly consistency.
Adam Scott: From Step Brothers To Severance
Q: What was it like working with Christopher Walken and John Totoro on Step Brothers?
Adam Scott and Dana Carvey describe improvisational dynamics with Walken and Totoro, noting how their presence and spontaneity helped unlock looser performances and sparked memorable on-set moments that shaped the film's feel.

Q: How did you get on SNL and what were your killer bits early on?
I relied on impressions and a few signature bits, used office impressions to get noticed, and gradually built original characters, while constantly submitting sketches and navigating the tough rewrite process.
