Want to feel old? On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I welcome Rob Michaels, whose charming new comedy Please, After You is now available on digital and on demand in Canada, to discuss his favorite comedy: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the charming Judd Apatow production that vaulted Jason Segel out of second-banana status and launched Nicholas Stoller’s directorial career.

It’s a delightful movie — sweet, funny and unpredictable, and even with the whole Russell Brand thing it holds up very well after … seventeen years.

THAT’S RIGHT, SEVENTEEN YEARS. JESUS CHRIST, WHERE DOES THE TIME GO.

Sorry. (But seriously.)

It’s a fun conversation and I don’t think you can hear my gasp when Rob mentions he saw the film when he was in Grade 10. Rob’s movie is fun, too. You should check it out!

But first, listen to the podcast! Subscribe to the show on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice, or download the episode directly from the web and listen to it while working diligently on your elaborate puppet musical about the secret heart of a mythological character who’s now in the public domain.

And then get caught up on Shiny Things! Which won’t be difficult, because I only published the paid edition last week (a revew of Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck, which I adored), but there’s a lot more coming up in the next few days. So if you’re not already a subscriber, maybe get on board?

Also, if you’re not yet sick of hearing me talk about how much I love Jaws, go watch my epic conversation with Eric Marchen for his Untitled Movie Podcast, in which we spend far too long indulging our mutual love for Steven Spielberg’s genre-defining blockbuster.  It’s also available as an audio podcast, if you’d rather not stare at my big shiny head for 87 minutes.

Also also! SEMcast is on Blu-ray! The cheery elves at Canadian International Pictures reached out to ask if they could include Becky Shrimpton’s episode of the podcast on their new special edition of Robert Fortier’s The Devil At Your Heels, and I was delighted to be part of the package; CIP does terrific work, and their service to Canadian cinema is currently unmatched.

Which reminds me, I really need to pick up their Roadkill BD.
