It didn't? It seemed OK to me.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I have a feeling she didn't realize how defensive and harsh-sounding she was during it.

I haven't finished it yet but so far it just sounds like they're simply not connecting on a basic level and both are having trouble staying interested. It was funny to me when she brought up the Matt and Ben thing and he just moved on without asking about it.

Objectively, the dialogue in the movies she's written really sucks, and I thought so long before I even knew she used to be a stripper.

I tend to agree with you. After seeing "Juno" (and fighting the urge to leave during the first 40 or so minutes) I suddenly realized why some people hate the dialogue in "Pulp Fiction"...

That said, "Juno" I thought had a really satisfying ending and the scenes between Bateman and Garner I quite liked...

Has the stripper business ever been verified? For some reason I just never believed that...

She wrote a book about it ... I don't know of any accusations that she made that stuff up.

IFC did a series order for his semi-autobiographical series, which is great news for him. I'll be interested to see if it has any effect on the podcast.

I've seen the pilot, and it's very good.

I was kinda bummed the Offerman didn't get into his ties to Austin and his work with Bob Byington.

Michael Cera is a charming dude. I also completely agree with him on Ricky Gervais. It made me go re-watch some Office episodes.

Ricky is in a weird place lately, Michael Cera seems way too normal, he reminds me of Michael Palin in that way.

My favorite part of the Cera interview was the story of introducing his mother to Jeffrey Tambor.

When Maron talks to people outside his wheelhouse like Michael Cera- younger, successful, not exactly in stand-up- he tends to roll over his guests' attempts to answer by beginning another question.  It's not necessarily a  bad thing exactly, more conversational than rude, but I get the impression Maron's not really listening if he asks no follow-ups or moves on to another point.  Example: he asks Cera about the British comedy he likes then interjects that "yeah, I'm not wired for British comedy", which for WTF listeners we know. Woulda been nice to hear more of Cera's opinion of good Brit-coms instead of getting misdirected cuz the host lost interest. 

But that's Maron being Maron, he is who he is and I'm still a fan.  On the other hand, I kind of enjoy when an old-timer like Fred Willard won't get out of the way of his own storytelling and Maron has to buckle down to get a word in.  Also, the WTF with Mary Mack was quite charming.

The new one with Jeffrey Tamboor might be the best episode ever. Here's a photo of the ridiculous chairs they were complaining about.
