Maron doesn't do so well with character actors with large bodies of work. His angle is usually "You probably wish you were a big star."

i hear you - like there was the claire danes interview where he kinda swum around looking for some sorta comfort-zone discomfort-zone they could chew on - but i do think the music thing is its own dull, pathological spin off, just a rogue neuron pathway in his brain that spills oil over everything, shuts down his hearing to accommodate a guy-working-his-self-aggrandising-self-deprecating-#vinyl-routine in a loud voice thing.

Finally got to see his standup for the first time this weekend (filmed for an upcoming special) and he was phenomenal. Totally in his element even at his most uncomfortable. Goldthwait was directing, was bummed that I couldn't figure out where the eff he was in the theater.
― Tarkus Aurelius (Old Lunch), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:14 (nine years ago) link
I was at the show too (the 10 p.m. taping)) and thought the same. Really comfortable and in control of what he's doing, even when he lost the thread of where he was going. When Bobcat made a voice-over staging comment ("move the mic stand back to that spot" or something), Maron got him to say something in the old Bobcat voice. Interesting to see Maron in public in front of hundreds, versus having public conversations in private rooms.

We were at the same show! Maron said at one point they'd probably use the earlier show for the special and that he'd just let the show we were at be the weird one. And he made some comment later about how something didn't matter because they'd probably scrap the taping and Bobcat came on-mic and told him that that was his self-loathing talking because ours was the better show. I kinda hope they release it as-is, broken glasses and all.

Haha, disclaimer for gross out stuff? Sounds like a Watt interview alright.
― circa1916, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:52 (nine years ago) link
and I just love that Watt is this incredible freight-train storyteller, to the point where Maron basically just hitches himself to the back as it's going by
the different dynamic makes it p enjoyable
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 11 June 2015 16:18 (nine years ago) link
wow, the grossout warning was not overstated
vg otm - amazing and endearing how much energy and enthusiasm watt has, even when discussing his septic taint. was it just me or did he seem to get briefly choked up when talking about d. boon and the crash?
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 11 June 2015 18:07 (nine years ago) link
yeah he got real quiet :(

He developed a bump in his taint and it eventually exploded leaving a crater and gushed pus voluminously.
