SIDE HUSTLE II: BANKS SHOT
Celebrities! They are just like us! Except when they get the urge to try something new, they get studios or shady global investors to give them millions to make movies! That's their side hustle.
This week we talk the lovely, hilarious and brilliant Elizabeth Banks.
Her main gig as an actor starts us off with WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER (2001), where she appears in one of her first film roles, in one of the best comedy ensembles ever. Featuring one of the best montages ever (Go to town!) and the best double take ever (Paul Rudd), Summer is written by David Wain and Michael Showalter, who also directs, of The State. If you have not seen Wet Hot American Summer before listening, please do. It's short and it has become a stone cold cult classic that had a prequel AND sequel series on Netflix (both of which are also great).
As director we could have gone Charlie's Angels but we decided on COCAINE BEAR (2023) instead, because we rarely talk about new movies. What is Cocaine Bear? It's in the title. THE SAME SONG OPENS BOTH MOVIES, FYI, clearly intentional on Banks' part. One of the best marketing plans in recent film but how is the actual movie? It can't be as good as the trailers, right? Listen and find out.
We are joined once again by Southern Belle and Streep Mega-Fan Andi for both films.
