Summary
This mini-episode of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast features guests Cliff Nesterov and Drew Friedman as they collectively obsess over Otto Preminger's disastrous 1968 film, 'Skidoo.' The discussion covers the movie's bizarre casting (Groucho Marx, Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing), alleged LSD influences on its production, and countless anecdotes about its making and the stars involved.
