      Alan Tudyk is one of my favorite actors who I feel gets too little credit. He’s hilarious and it seems he’s always in some funny/weird role in live action but has a surprising list of credits when it comes to animated and especially Disney animated movies. Pretty sure he’s been in almost every Disney animated movie of the last 15 years.

      I love Tucker and Dale vs Evil

      “I shovel better than anyone!”

      “When you’re invisible, you can feel it!”

    What We Do in the Shadows (the movie, not the series). For something more obscure, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn. Yes, both feature Jemaine Clement

        “I threw that shit before I even walked in the room!” One of my other favourites is the pool hall fight, where the pump actually smacks the actor he’s fighting, and the guy loses his cool. Then there’s a swift, unplanned cut, and suddenly he’s fighting someone else entirely. It’s all those little pastiches of shoddy movie-making that you can miss, such a good movie!

    Dirty Work: Norm MacDonald in his element. An extended sequence of him and his friend staring blankly ahead holding dead fish while a chainsaw massacre unfolds offscreen is amazing.

    The Trouble with Harry: Alfred Hitchcock does madcap comedy. The trouble with Harry is that he’s dead, and although no one really minds, everyone thinks it’s their fault. Probably the biggest starring role for a corpse until Weekend at Bernie’s.

    Freddie Got Fingered is a masterpiece that, when released, was one of the worst rated movies ever.

    It’s so incredibly ahead of its time, coming out before all the Adult Swim absurdist stuff that we all know and love.

    Bless Tom Green.
