From their groundbreaking MTV show The State to Comedy Central’s Reno 911!, movies in which they’ve acted, and a whole slate of films on which they’ve served as screenwriters, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant have kept things fresh… and often plenty weird. Their newest effort, in which they co-star, represents their feature film tandem directorial debut. A zany, ramshackle comedy about a married-and-pregnant couple (Rob Corddry and Leslie Bibb) who are forced to enlist the help of the Vatican’s elite exorcism team (Garant and Lennon) after they move into a haunted fixer-upper in New Orleans, Hell Baby offers up an assortment of lunacy, nudity and gross-out humor. I recently had a chance to speak to the two multi-hyphenates in person, about their film, a sketch from The State that never was, and where things stand on the Baywatch movie they’re penning for Paramount. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
