Dropping the F-Bomb on Live TV

So two weeks ago I posted about my regular weekly gig going on KXAN to talk about the weekend’s upcoming movies. I dressed as Iron Man, the cameraman liked my white socks, and Chris Willis enjoyed talking about how great my legs looked when the cameras weren’t on. It was a great time. But not nearly as great as what happened last week, when I brought filmmaker Kevin Ford and Eddie “Crabman” Steeples in to discuss their new movie, WHEN IS TOMORROW?

Before the cameras were rolling, they were planning out how they would do a bit sort of in character, bickering about what the movie was about, playing off each other, and trying to make something more interesting than just saying, “Our movie was written by us, and we used a camera to film it…” They succeeded in making the clip more interesting when Kevin caught himself by surprise and said, “I made the fucking movie!” Whoops.

The booking producer for the KXAN Noon News told me that this week they’ll have a segment featuring someone from the Chronicle talking about food, and that “Austin at the Movies” will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks.
