We watched Cabin Boy from 1994 starring SNL alum Chris Elliott. Both of us are big fans of most all of Elliott's work from Get A Life to Action Family to There's Something About Mary to his short lived stint on Saturday Night Live and Eagleheart as well as his novels. Everything the man has ever done has been hilarious...except his only starring vehicle, Cabin Boy. A critical and commercial failure originally intended as a directorial vehicle for Tim Burton. Chris Elliott and his writing partner Adam Resnick wrote a script with a bunch of weird shit in it to appease the batshit crazy Burton. Then when Burton left they made the movie anyway. It failed and 25 years later we watched it for Saturday Night Jive. It's a bit of a bummer but hope you enjoy listening to us talk about it. Enjoy!
