About this episode
This week, my guest is Mary Houlihan (comedian & artist: Mary Houlihan's Painting Party , Joe Pera Talks With You , Difficult People ), who brings us a film she has seen hundreds of times: SPICE WORLD ! We also discuss her Edinburgh Fringe Festival show 'Me And Jack’, featuring the disembodied head of Jack Nicholson, how Mary sees colors, how Mary first saw this film as a kid and what the Spice Girls mean to her still, how they got their nicknames, the amazing supporting cast including Alan Cumming , Mark McKinney & Richard E. Grant , the 13-second cameo by Elton John , which part of the Spice Girls double decker bus is the coolest, how party scenes tend to be depicted in movies, the upsetting alien sequence in the film, learning about snogging, the proposed Spice World sequel, the awkwardness of being the friend of a more famous friend, what the hell happened to their friend Brian in the film, how the film was written by the team behind Faulty Towers & Red Dwarf , how the Spice Girls were self-managed and wrote most of their songs and more! So let's tell Meatloaf (yes, that Meatloaf!) to step on it and get us to this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie.
