Show Notes
Nate and Ryan are back to discuss one of the greatest cult comedy classics of all time, Waiting for Guffman. On top of giving them a chance to talk about one of their favorite comedies, Waiting for Guffman gives them a chance to remember the legacy of comedy legend Catherine O’Hara, whose untimely passing marks the loss of a generational comedy talent. Along with O’Hara, Waiting for Guffman’s cast reads like a comedy hall of fame, with Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Parker Posey, and Fred Willard (among others), so listen in as they dig into what makes Waiting for Guffman stand out even as the mockumentary style has become ubiquitous.
