From KCRW, Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to the treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. If you watched Reno 9-1-1, you know my guests, Nat Fax and Jim Rash. But also, if you

watch the show, let's see Ben and Kate or Community, you know my guests, Nat Fax and Jim

Rash. And if you saw the Oscars a couple of years ago, you definitely know the entrance that one

of them made. They're here to talk about the movie. their feature film debut was writer-director's the way way back which i guess was chosen you called just the way back it started as the way back

Well, you talk about that rear-facing seat, Jim, you start to sweat a little bit as if you've

Oh, I've been there the acid flash back for you. I haven't been.
