There's a good, simple bathroom book to be made compiling all the answers to this.

What I took from the FA interview was that Maron did too much apologizing for him to let him talk. I'd like to let Freddy just run on until he incriminates himself.

Patrick Stewart is a gem and should definitely release recorded Shakespeare where he does all the characters. His A Christmas Carol CD was constantly in my Discman at Christmastime.

He's gripping. I was gripped.

Didn't she say her sister dated him?

hm I don't think so? easy enough to check tho

johnny crunch, Friday, 2 October 2015 12:55 (eight years ago) link

I guess that may make more sense w/r/t ages matching up

johnny crunch, Friday, 2 October 2015 12:56 (eight years ago) link

She said it was her sister Becca

So Marc is interviewing Peaches tomorrow. I have never heard or read a Peaches interview, despite liking some of her albums and loving others. Should be fun.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 October 2015 04:06 (eight years ago) link

Genuinely eager for the "who were your guys" for maybe the first time ever

Peaches was on Comedy Bang Bang with Claudia O'Doherty the other week. It was good, but I did already type "Claudia O'Doherty."

She did a Bret Easton Ellis podcast a few months ago -- OK, low-key.

Maron was pretty confident with the "Who was your next boyfriend?" "Who was your next boyfriend?"

The Annie Baker interview was kind of like a conversation between a comedian and a playwright stuck sitting next to each other at a dinner party and making the best of it. But that's what his first musician interviews were like as well.

I'm not sure what the point of the Lorne Michaels refresher was at the top of the episode since he's not dropping the interview this week or anything. You already told us you interviewed him.

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 00:29 (eight years ago) link

Tbh, I was hella confused by that bit b/c I ~hadn't~ actually heard that he'd interviewed him. Kept rewinding to figure out if I'd missed anything.

jaymc, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:05 (eight years ago) link

Eazy -- thought of you while listening to the Annie Baker interview. I've been intrigued by her for a while, having read the 2013 New Yorker profile and a positive review of John...somewhere. Have any Chicago theaters ever put on one of her plays?

jaymc, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:07 (eight years ago) link

I thought he came off as genuinely interested in Baker, much less awkward than some of the musician interviews.

there was a really jarring edit too.

"heteronormative" was hilarious, genuinely surprised that he's not familiar with that term.

The Lorne interview thing is kinda weird, as he talked about it last week and insinuated that he would save the interview for some special date. So when he started talking about it again on Monday I figured he was going to announce his decision, like "We decided to put it out next week" or "We will lock this away to play as our final episode." But he just once again told us the SNL audition story, with no new info, for no apparent reason.

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 13:59 (eight years ago) link

With the Lorne interview, I think he can't keep himself from talking about it. Also, the first time he mentioned it last week, he said that originally he thought when he interviewed Lorne that it would be the last WTF episode, and the current episode sounds like him saying "And so now I'm trying to figure out what to do." He's also probably currently reeling from having some closure to this thing that's been weighing on him the past 20 years.

A Red Orchid did The Aliens and Victory Gardens did Circle Mirror Transformation (I missed both). Steppenwolf is doing The Flick in their upstairs theater, opening in January or so.

Albini interview's good.

Epps interview one of the worst in recent memory. Epps doesn't give a shit, Maron can't get 'in' and doesn't seem inclined to fight for it.

sean gramophone, Thursday, 29 October 2015 14:34 (eight years ago) link

Maron's intro - \sigh\"I did what I could." - was fair warning.

let no-one live rent free in your butt (sic), Thursday, 29 October 2015 14:41 (eight years ago) link

Really digging the Patricia Arquette interview, Albini was solid.

Epps was just okay I guess.

RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 2 November 2015 12:42 (eight years ago) link

still no Lorne interview this week. I'm getting the feeling that when he finally plays it, it'll be dripped out a few minutes a week

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Monday, 2 November 2015 15:17 (eight years ago) link

they'd better fist fight atop a mountain at this point

NATION: ? ? ? (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 2 November 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link

the mantle of podcaster to the stars could not have fallen on a more tiresome, bloviating fule. i will finish the albini one but i had to quit in disgust.

vlade dvorak (rip van wanko), Monday, 2 November 2015 17:15 (eight years ago) link

ok David Cross would have been worse

Patricia Arquette interview is good, but lol @ Maron's pre-interview analysis depicting a defensive side of himself that keeps his social graces intact. Her description of the hippie commune and its failings was pretty subtle, and Marc chimes in with shit like "your parents found out that people who seek out hippie communes are fucked up" while also just assuming her time there was chaotic. My god I cringed.

lorne interview is up - kinda nervous to listen tbh

the illicit unit slid tantalizingly across the waxed tile (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 9 November 2015 14:05 (eight years ago) link

I was like "Who would they follow with on Thursday if Lorne's on a Monday?" Well, Elvis Costello.

my harp and me (Eazy), Monday, 9 November 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link

It sounded like what Lorne was dancing around, and Maron seemed incapable of hearing, was that he didn't get hired because he appealed to an urban intellectual audience and SNL has to play in Kansas.

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Monday, 9 November 2015 14:43 (eight years ago) link

Also to Lorne that was just a meeting not an audition

"So who were your...primary influences?"

I loled.

two weeks pass...

These promoted interviews, with Aziz last week and Cross/Odenkirk this week, have their own funny energy to them. The tension Maron had in his early episodes comes back, the part of him that seems to be comparing success, who has the cooler projects. Or it's a different dynamic on the interviewees' part because they're there deliberately to promote a show.

And then the Aziz interview was awkward as far as "Hey, there aren't a lot of white people on your show. What's that about?" But I enjoyed listening to both.

my harp and me (Eazy), Monday, 23 November 2015 20:39 (eight years ago) link

That wasn't Marc being bemused though, it was giving Aziz an opening to talk about the issues of representation, implicit and explicit, in the work.

(Sometimes Maron says dumb, tone-deaf stuff on purpose for a point, sometimes by accident.)

(I wish Aziz didn't feel he had to make it a hook in promoting the show - it's fuckin chock-full of white people! - but it's something he's chosen to do.)
