Orange County & Saving Silverman (with Kaycee Felton-Lui)

For the penultimate episode in our Comedy in the 2000s miniseries, we're diving into the rotten filmography of one of the biggest comedic superstars of the decade: Jack Black. First up, it's the unhinged 2001 buddy/revenge comedy "Saving Silverman" wherein Black co-stars alongside Steve Zahn as two thirds of a Neil Diamond cover band that kidnap their best friend's (Jason Biggs) manipulative girlfriend (Amanda Peet) in hopes of setting him up with a circus acrobat turned nun (Amanda Detmer). After that, we'll be moving on to the 2002 MTV-produced teen comedy "Orange County" featuring the stacked ensemble of Colin Hanks, Schuyler Fisk, Catherine O'Hara, John Lithgow, Kevin Kline, Ben Stiller, Leslie Mann, and of course, Jack Black as a deadbeat pillhead with dreams of starting a T-shirt company like Stussy.

We're joined by writer and O.C. native, Kaycee Felton-Lui, to discuss the endless rewatch appeal of "Orange County," the unfair stigma around teen comedies that aren't helmed by prestige filmmakers, the criminally underrated Amanda Peet, and the genius of Jack Black. Is Jason Biggs a leading man? Can Catherine O'Hara do anything? Does Steve Zahn actually suck his own dick in "Saving Silverman"? Should more movies skewer the absurdity of America's obsession with ivy-league schools? How many times does Crazy Town actually play in both of these movies? And most importantly, who is Luigi Panini? There's only one place to find out.

"Saving Silverman" is streaming on Amazon Prime via IMDB TV and "Orange County" is streaming on Cinemax.
