About this episode
We're back with a discussion on a movie we have been meaning to talk about since we launched the podcast - The Cable Guy! This dark comedy stars Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick, and was directed by Ben Stiller. We spent the first half of the podcast doing a deep dive on Ben Stiller's early acting career and the movies he directed, including: Intro 00:00:00 Hot Pursuit (1987) 00:14:23 Reality Bites (1994) 00:17:12 Heavyweights (1995) 00:25:23 Flirting with Disaster (1996) 00:35:29 Zero Effect (1998) 00:41:16 Permanent Midnight (1998) 00:46:00 Zoolander (2001) 00:50:28 Tropic Thunder (2008) 00:56:43 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) 01:07:35 The Cable Guy (1996) 01:11:21 We kept the mics rolling for another hour and chatted about Jim Carrey, in particular the documentary Jim & Andy and the Ace Ventura movies.
