Matinee Monday: Ernest Goes To Jail

How Did This Get Made?

Lesley Arfin (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Love) joins Paul, June, and Jason to break down Ernest P. Worrell’s antics in the 1990 slapstick comedy Ernest Goes To Jail. They discuss Ernest’s imperviousness to electricity, his ability to fly, and his Rube Goldberg contraptions that seem to always hurt people. Plus, June reveals she thinks that bad Jim Varney's lookin' kinda nice. (Originally Released 05/20/2014)
