dr. evil

Star of stage and screen, film and television, voice over and live action, Parvesh Cheena's list of credits is expansive -- and you've almost certainly seen or heard him  in SOMETHING (Barbershop? Outsourced? Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Mythic Quest? The Mandalorian?). Parvesh has carved out a place for himself as a character actor -- a position that has at times been a little lonely, and a little strange. As for seeing himself on screen? Even as a kid, he looked to some of the biggest, weirdest characters of them all: Danny Devito's Penguin in BATMAN RETURNS and Mike Myers as Dr. Evil in the AUSTIN POWERS movies.

Intro music composed by Jonah Weingarten.

25 years ago Mike Myers brought the world's grooviest and shagadelic spy to the big screen, Austin Powers.  Heavily parodying the James Bond franchise, the film series has lasted as comedy gold with its use of physical gags, satire, word play, innuendo and hilarious stock characters.  Chris and Taylor are joined by comedian Andrew Kennedy to discuss the three films, their favorite moments and the potential future for the International Man of Mystery.

Wie geht's? How are things?

We had to ask everyone what the best Austin Powers movie was. Sorry! Tangents include but aren't limited to: where Mike Myers came up with Dr. Evil, Trent's brother's wedding, and, excitingly, MTV's The Challenge *ding* and America's Band The Beach Boys *Ebmaj-->Bbmaj*.
