You Better Watch Out: Behind the Scenes of "Bad Santa" w/ Terry Zwigoff, Glenn Ficarra, John Requa and Robert Hoffman

Audio

Description

Frank ushers in the holiday season with a reunion of the creative team behind the 2003 black comedy "Bad Santa": director Terry Zwigoff, screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa and film editor Robert Hoffman. In this episode: the boys talk about the bumpy ride from page to screen, the nightmare of test screenings, the (extremely) contentious casting process and the artfulness and musicality of profanity. Also, the Coen Brothers envision James Gandolfini, Terry locks horns with Billy Bob Thornton, Glenn and John write a part for Evel Knievel (!) and Robert reveals the challenge of editing a TV-friendly cut. PLUS: "Babbo Bastardo"! Paging Bill Murray! Praising John Ritter! Mickey Rooney keeps it clean! Cloris Leachman tries to disrobe! And "Bad Santa" inspires an XXX-rated parody!
