Episode 58 of "On Film...With Kevin McCarthy". A film podcast featuring longer form interviews with filmmakers discussing craft. Note: This episode was recorded live in Seattle, WA for the Super Troopers 3 "Behind The Badge" Tour. Warning: Strong language. The episode features a conversation with Broken Lizard including Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske. Because the live show featured clips from the "Super Troopers" films, I removed them for legal reasons. Therefore, you will hear moments where we introduce a clip from the films and then discuss it afterwards. I have the clip references below. In this episode, the Broken Lizard cast and filmmakers break down the history of the "Super Troopers" franchise, looking back at the first two films and previewing the new "Super Troopers 3" film, which is now playing in theaters. Notes on the removed film clips: 1) "Super Troopers" - Speed stop from the opening of the first film. 2) "Super Troopers 2" - French Pullover 3) "Super Troopers 3" - Electric Car #searchlightpartner #supertroopers #brokenlizard #supertroopers3 #behindthebadge

This is a 30-min conversation I had with Ari Aster, from July 10th 2025, which is just over a month before I officially started this podcast as "On Film...With Kevin McCarthy".
