    The Creep

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast the guys are talking about The Creep from Season 36 Episode 13 and January 29th, 2011. Featuring all three members of the Lonely Island, even though one of them doesn’t get a verse. And that same member isn’t on this episode...technically. Jorm was out but he sent in some voice notes to correct the record along the way. The guys also discuss T-Pain’s tweet and the legacy of globally famous rapper “Two-Pack”. Plus, what filmmaker John Waters was doing in detail in early 2011 and how absolutely massive it was to have Nikki Minaj on a song right after she broke on Kanye West’s “Monster”.

    Nintendo Cartoon Hour

    Hey look at that, it’s an episode! Only a few days late! Everyone is on summer vacation so we’re struggling to get these episodes out. But we won’t stop trying! And I’m kinda “raw-doggin” this description so hopefully it makes sense! In this episode, it’s sort of a Q&A but it's also about Nintendo Cartoon Hour, one of the earliest things Akiva and Jorma made back when they first moved to LA. See where it all began! Andy is still gone and the guys are reeling from last week’s scathing voice note. But don’t worry, if you want more in-depth filmmaking talk, editing lessons, and technical details on the backend of YouTube, this is the episode for you.

    Listener Q&A Episode 14

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we’re doing another QA Q&A. Andy is out and we can’t do any of the shorts without him so this is what we got! But it’s a good one because we got Lin-Manuel Miranda (fellow Quaid) to send in an unreleased demo of I Am Moana from the film...Moana. He’s setting the record straight on the misheard lyrics. Also, for all you theater rake fans, we’ve got some killer talk about title sequences in films. Plus a jizz story, a correction and a sincere apology for misspelling Pee-wee last week (my bad), and a big happy birthday to Tyler! Enjoy!

    Pee-wee and Andy's Night Out

    This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, Seth is late and Andy has a hard out. But they’re doing their best to talk about Pee-wee and Andy’s Night Out from Season 36, Episode 23 on January 15th, 2011. But first, some important discourse on a couple of new indie films coming out this week as well as some commentary of popular music from the last 20 years. Plus, the guys reveal how they got to work with their childhood hero Pee Week Herman and what it was like to be friends with Paul Reubens with memories from Josh Meyers who worked with Paul on his broadway show. And most importantly, an update on the Maverick Party.

    Popstar 10th Anniversary Q&A

    On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, we've got a special one this week: a live Q&A recorded at the American Cinematheque's 10th anniversary screening of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. It's a solo Akiva episode, which makes sense, because he’s the only one not too good for it. Moderating duties go to Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels, and noted theater rake expert), who comes armed with some very important questions sent in by Andy about martinis and whether Akiva is finally ready to apologize for his Sergio takes. He is not. Kiv gets into shooting a five-hour movie in 27 days, the Taylor Swift joke that bombed in every test screening until it didn't, the cut songs from the movie. Plus the reshoot the guys literally paid for out of pocket. It involves a penis. Enjoy! Special thanks, again, to American Cinematheque and the Egyptian Theatre for putting on the event!
