About the podcast

Longer-form cinema interviews diving into filmmaking craft including acting, directing, editing, composing and so much more. I grew up watching DVD features and I always wanted to create a show that can be similar to that idea of giving audiences an understanding of the hard work and dedication that goes into filmmaking.

    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

    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".

    Therefore, this is technically not a podcast episode but just a 30-min filmmaking conversation that I still wanted to share, as you can see how the podcast was forming based on this conversation. A little over a month later, I'd launch my first official podcast episode with Josh Brolin on August 18th, 2025.

    For more context of this conversation, Ari Aster and I are sitting in a filming location for Eddington; in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. This interview was filmed after the production of the movie, during Ari's promotional tour of "Eddington".
