Curated by Scarecrow member Kolbe Kegel in memory of the late Gilbert Gottfried (1955-2022), and in celebration of his weekly podcast Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast (2014-2022).
On the show, Gilbert and his co-host Frank Santopadre interviewed actors and filmmakers including legends like Dick Cavett, Tippi Hedren and Dick Van Dyke. As both comedy veterans and life long cinephiles, Gilbert and Frank filled their conversations with deep movie knowledge, idiosyncratic obsessions and in-jokes.
This special section contains many movies that were discussed on the show. They include 21 classics suggested by Frank Santopadre himself, others that were frequently brought up on the show as favorites, some that Gottfried often discussed appearing in, and even a few (Dick Tracyand Life Stinks) that he said he was up for but didn't get. Finally, we've included some titles featuring Caesar Romero, Danny Thomas, Paul Lynde, Milton Berle and Alan Ladd, who were often joked about on the show due to legends of their alleged off screen activities or anatomical features.
