Interesting and entertaining thankyou Groupee Backstage. Forgive my ignorence but where did the interview take place?

Ken Marino and Paul Rudd are two very funny guys.

It took place at a junket for the film in a New York hotel. When you can see posters for a film conveniently hanging in the background, it's usually a pretty good sign that it's a junket interview. Those publicists have a hard time being subtle...

Thanks Boaz . I am older and wiser

Did you get to taste the coffee?

You know, I didn't. I stopped drinking caffeine last June and I never want to start again. However, it smelled delicious!

I do remember that now. Congrats on sticking it out. Do you kind of jones when someone makes such a nice presentation like they did?

You know it. That was some fine coffee they were cooking up, and I was sorely tempted to have a cup.

LOVED the ending. And the line, "Never be afraid to bring up the keytar. This is a safe place for the keytar." Thanks for a fun interview, Paul!

Quite the entertainment piece! ... with good tunes. Would like to see this work live.?.?.

Poor Betty! So, I didn't know that you knew Japanese, Paul! Did you pick some up just for the interview? Also, were you surprised that there were 3 of them? I notice that the quote above refers to a "duo"....

Betty is okay! She got hit by the door right at the beginning of the interview. All the other footage of her was taken after that. I took two semesters of Japanese in college, but didn't study well enough to learn anything useful. I wasn't expecting Atsuko to be there. She's Naoko's sister, and an original member of the band. I had heard she retired from the band and that Naoko and Etsuko were the only two official band member now. I believe that's why the Boston Globe referred to them as a...

No one sees your point, but great ramble, Paul. And great work on the Backstage interviews too.

Tell Betty thanks for taking one for the team! Glad to hear she's ok. I'm a big Shonen Knife fan, so it was really fun to hear what they're up to now. Can't wait for the new album.

The Ten looks hilarious. I'd need a bit more to go on to suggest titles for Little Big Men , though. IMDb just says: “Wild behavior forces a pair of energy drink reps (Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott) to enroll in a Big Brother program.”

Here's what *I* wanna know: Did you dress like him on purpose?

It wasn't on purpose, but we both noticed it! Great minds think alike...

Wow. Another one of those interviews that I completely enjoyed. He was wholly present for this--not distracated by anything. Loved the part about how he writes his music like a composer, and Paul Simon was the wild card. I also enjoyed the single that you posted above.

The entire interview flows as a gentle river that runs deep. I have made several trips to Haiti and should add that Wyclef Jean's cool and composed personality is in contrast with the rough and violent life of his birth place.

Paul Rudd and Ken Marino recount their "wet hot friendship" (their words- not mine), share clamming tips, plan their next film together, and chat with Boaz about their film, Diggers.

Connections Since I've started interviewing people for Groupee, I realize I'm becoming a nexus point for the whole "Six Degrees of Separation" idea. For example, I found out in a recent trip to visit my family that my aunt Luella's son was one of the...

I caught up with the Japanese rock sensation Shonen Knife at Chop Suey in Seattle, Washington.  We talked about their new album, explored guitarist Naoko Yamano's love of 70's British metal bands, and attempted to introduce the band to my...

I got a chance to talk to Paul Meany from MUTEMATH when they stopped in Seattle during the "Exile in America" tour. Many of my interview questions are based on the acrobatics the band displays in their impressive live performances.  They are...
