Summary

🎭👻👯‍♂️ The origin story of Paul and Justin Theroux’s friendship, formed 30 years ago while messing around backstage and onstage in a depressing Chekhov play. Justin’s memory is razor sharp and deep, and he shares the moment Paul first experienced fame after his breakout appearance as Pig Vomit in Howard Stern’s Private Parts. Also, theaters are spooky places and Justin reminds Paul of the eerie ghost (with a woman’s enormous bloody head!) that may or may not have found a home in that Chekhov theater. Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Justin Theroux is an actor, producer, director and screenwriter who’ll next be appearing in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice. 🎭👻👯‍♂️ ========= 🚨🚨🚨 ANNOUNCEMENTS 🚨🚨🚨 🗳️ Chinwag was nominated for a 2024 Webby as BEST SERIES, please vote here https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2024/podcasts/features/best-series (until April 18th)! 🎟️ New live taping alert!!
