Modern Problems - Part 1 (with Jeremy Herbert)
I’m joined by scholar of comedy and SNL historian Jeremy Herbert to discuss the Chevy Chase starring vehicle Modern Problems (1981) as well as the contrasting career arcs of Chase and rival John Belushi. Oh, and if you’re interested in the deep dive into Poppy that I mention, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/h-UZpM3C-T4 (and thanks to past guest Kat Whitacre for pointing me at that video). Right now (assuming you listen to these on time), Jeremy and some other very talented filmmakers are raising money for a feature-length anthology of vacation-themed horror movies called Worst Laid Plans. You can get all the details and pitch in here: https://igg.me/at/worstlaidplans/x#/
