Ryan's Farm with Brendan Goggins


Listen Later

Actor and comedian Brendan Goggins joins Simon to be very mean to Simon and to also talk about Ryan's Farm, written and directed by the third Cohen brother, Gary Cohen.
Simon and Brendan discuss whether seeing a character doing a spreadsheet at the beginning of the film and then using that skill at the end counts as a Chekhov's Gun (it can and does), Fred Willard's daring performance as Mean Mr. Business Man, and pigs pooping out of their butts. Then, Brendan and Simon enter the writer's room to rewrite Saving Private Ryan to make it less scary.
