Episode description

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. That bonus episode is available, along with dozens more, exclusively on our Patreon at: www.patreon.com/almostcultclassics
