2009’s Observe and Report, directed by Jody Hill, tells the story of mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt (played by Seth Rogen), who is called into action to stop a flasher from turning a shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Ronnie can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective played by Ray Liotta is recruited to close the case. And there's a bunch of skateboarders in the mall parking lot.
Kevin and Mike discuss the movie, the skateboarders, mall skateboarding in general, the movie's influences (Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, mainly), and whether or not this film is maybe a little too dark. There's also a whole tangent at the end about musical theater. A typical GLEAMING THE TUBE episode, in other words. Enjoy!
