This one is HUGE!!! Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro sit down with Director Adam McKay (Don't Look Up, Vice, the Big Short, Anchorman, Step Brothers) to talk about his filmmaking career.

Adam is a writer/director who came out of Upright Citizens Brigade and then Saturday Night Live

Before leaving with Will Ferrell in 2001 to start making movies, together they co-wrote Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talledega Nights, Step Brothers, and the Other Guys.

Then Adam began working on darker political satire, first directing and writing The Big Short, about the guys who shorted the housing market before the 2008 Crash
