About this Episode

New year, new month, new theme! January 2024 is Dumpuary: Battle of the Genres! We're celebrating what is traditionally considered the worst month of the year to release a movie with a month full of January releases, all from different genres. First up, in comedy - 1997's Waiting for Guffman!

Ben and Anthony discuss Christopher Guest's urtext for the talking-head-mockumentary style that would go on to become a dominant sitcom format in the decades since its modest release. Directed by Christopher Guest, written by Guest and Eugene Levy, and starring Guest, Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, and Parker Posey.
