Episode 359 - Waiting For Guffman

This week we return to the tiny town of Blaine, Missouri to revisit Christopher Guest’s 1996 mockumentary Waiting for Guffman in observance of the passing of the incomparable Catherine O'Hara.

There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to listen to yet another action packed podcast! 0:00 - Intros 3:20 - Clue (Broadway touring) 13:50 - Song Sung Blue (2025) 20:40 - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO) 27:35 - Furiosa (2024) 32:10 - Predator: Badlands (2025) 42:30 - Waiting for Guffman (1996)
