GGACP Rewind: Episode #40: Dave Attell

About this episode

Gilbert and Frank chat with comedian Dave Attell about various topics including movies, comedy, and personal anecdotes.

Gilbert and Frank sit down with one of their favorite funny people -- comic, writer and Comedy Central host Dave Attell, to talk about everything from Louis CK’s cult blaxploitation spoof “Pootie Tang” (featuring Dave in a small role) to Gilbert’s controversial (and costly) tsunami jokes to Danny Kaye’s (alleged) love affair with Sir Laurence Olivier. Also: Dave shares his passion for 70’s-era porn, reveals why he doesn’t consider himself a good actor and helps Gilbert and Frank dissect classic (and not-so-classic) movies like “Planet of the Apes,” “The Magnificent Seven” and “The Tingler.” PLUS: Tuesday Weld! Pat Morita! Hymie the Robot! The Three Stooges meet “The Dirty Dozen”! And Barbara Hershey becomes Barbara Seagull! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
