First Film Directed by Tim Robbins / Jack Black's First Film Role (1992)

The year is 1992, the film is Bob Roberts... a political mockumentary satire. The director, first-time filmmaker (and star) Tim Robbins. And it's also the first film role for a lovable gent named Jack Black. We dig into the parallels between Bob Roberts and present day American politics and consider the right wing folk songs that were, at one point, comedic in their absurdity. Plus, we get into it with the MouthGarf Report, and play a nice round of I See What You Did There.Additional Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Robertshttps://www.cracked.com/article_40869_when-tim-robbins-tried-and-failed-to-be-the-most-controversial-snl-host.htmlPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?
