Mish and Zach's Leguizamarama
186. The Pest (1997) with Alexei Toliopoulos
Ep. 186
•
It's hard to find a movie that our guest (comedian and avid cinephile Alexei Toliopoulos) hasn't seen... but we did it! And it's a movie that many of you have been BEGGING us to unpack.
This week, we chat about "The Pest" - a 1997 comedy written and starring our favourite character actor, John Leguizamo!
This film tells the story of Pestario - a goofy scam artist that owes money to the Scottish mob. With the hope of winning $50000, he agrees to take part in a bizarre hunting game presented to him by an insane German who plans on killing Pestario and mounting his head to add to his collection.
John plays The Pest.

And did we speak about the art of acting, his experience in the industry and why he loves cinema? Not at all.

38:25||Ep. 203When chatting sketch comedy, we'd be foolish not to invite Lena Moon into the studio! She's a sketch comedian, improvisor and writer, so we made her watch HOUSE OF BUGGIN' - a sketch comedy show from 1995. John Leguizamo not only stars, but he is both the writer and creator. What a bloody work-horse.STEALING Other People's Food with LENA MOON!

29:01||Ep. 202Frankie the squirrel stars in this 2015 animated comedy titled "Get Squirrely" - which may just be the most difficult film title in history to say in an Australian accent. Frankie the squirrel sets off on a mission to take back a bunch of stolen acorns. In order to do this, he must compile a team of friends to help him. It's kind of like "Oceans 11" except instead of A-list Hollywood actors, it's a bunch of woodland creatures. John Leguizamo voices multiple characters in this movie, which was a lovely surprise.
