Bladtcast #243 - "Saccardokast 2017 (Part One): Turn That Murphy Frown Upside Down"

In the first of two special episodes that prove if you become old, you run into everybody again, Christian is joined in studio for a return visit from "Community", "Vice Principals" and "American Dad!" writer Tim Saccardo, where they pick up the conversation from Bladtcast episodes 10 and 11 (re-purposed for Bladtcast 242), including: sage-like advice from Al Bundy, TV short-hand, and a surprising deep dive on Tony Danza's career. They talk about dabbling in stand-up comedy, then make sure Dave Foley never wants to work with either of them. A conversation about Al Franken's latest book leads to a very spirited discussion about Saturday Night Live re-runs, and their favorite cast from the late 80's. They wonder how Bladtcast Nation first discovered SNL, talk about Eddie Murphy's laugh (and recent lack thereof), Inside Joke Dot TV and Inside Joke Productions, sound design on the cheap, and soliciting film festivals in the pre-internet days of the early 2000's. For internet search purposes, it's worth noting that this episode contains shout outs to Ronnie Coppola, David Gelles, Andrew Tavani,Kevin Miller, Benny Tudino (getting a back massage from Hoboken), David Rubin of the Rubin Report, Simmy Kustanowitz, Tom Kelly, Jenni Gilroy, Aaron Bleyart, Chris DeLuca, Carly Wray, Gladys Simon, Greg Cohen, Brian Stack, Max Weinberg, Argus Hamilton, Tom Dreeson and more!
