Episode 240 — #TheWorldsEnd

[Brett Arnold 55]

The trio of filmmakers from The World’s End, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost are on today’s B-B-B-B-ONUS episode of Comedy Bang! Bang! They’ll explain how the Cornetto trilogy came to be, describe some of the themes of their film “The World’s End,” and wonder what’s been going on with Austin Powers. Then, giant stars Sean Connery and Sir Michael Caine walk into the room to share their love of friendship and tell us about the important rules of acting.

By the way, I saw The World's End tonight. It's really good. It's darker than the other two, but still very funny. It shouldn't disappoint if you're a fan of their stuff.

The three of them on DLM and CBB in one week? What more could one ask for?

Nick Frost looking a lot like @theneedledrops (Anthony Fantano) in that headshot.

Edgar Wright dropped a Great Mouse Detective reference that no one picked up. TSK TSK!

[bigicecream 75]

Tayne (the catchphrase guy) is definitely a reference to possibly the greatest Tim and Eric sketch ever made. Quoted weekly by my friends and I:

I was so happy listening to this. I REALLY CANNOT- wait to see the movie.

[sarahride 83]

Who is doing which impression? I can't tell.

[mattman92ish 823]

[mattman92ish 823]

i think simon was michale caine only because he did that impression on doug loves movies and nick was sean? im not even sure they might have switched towards the end haha sorry for not being helpful

[ComedyGangBang 88]

Awesome. I was hoping these guys would be on CBB this week.

[wiscomedy 212]

That was a great WYR. Loved "this is more of a statement than a question" (unprecedented?), loved the contestants' insistence that animals can't be mean and Scott's draconian adherence to the scenario as given. What a pro.

[Martattack 234]

It's insane, this guy's taint.

[Shannon 2953]

I had to pause it after "Eeauuh! Scoh! Thass noh fayah!" Due to uncontrollable laughter.

 

This was SUCH a great bbbbbonus treat

CBB with another amazing episode, not a bad one this whole summer

[MattCameron 595]

Michael Caine's Simon Pegg impression was amazing!

[RobM 66]

My God, I wanted that Caine/Connery segment to go on forever. Caine especially should be a CBB regular.

[AaronSinger_29251 578]

Scotch Ontherockserman, will you and the gang still have time to meet fans after the show in DC if we go to the early show? I already bought my tickets so I'm hoping the answer's yes?

[Henry 3777]

Classic back of the head scene from "Goldmember"!

[Snake 165]

It's got a 92% on rotten tomatoes right now. I feel obliged to see this opening weekend

[DustrialEffingham 0]

I had no idea the team behind "The Worlds End" featured several members of the Nights Watch.

[justinmh05 1968]

This episode is #1 for the year for me. Holy crap was this amazing!

[justinmh05 1968]

The good news is that if Frost and Pegg never come back to CBB, their Connery and Caine impressions could be taken over by Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
