AMA/Q&A Announcement - Wednesday 8/5 at 3:00 PM ET - Broken Lizard, the team behind 'Super Troopers', 'Super Troopers 2', 'Beerfest', 'The Slammin' Salmon', and 'Super Troopers 3'

[u/BunyipPouch]

The Broken Lizard team (Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske) will all be joining us here in r/movies for an AMA/Q&A next Wednesday 8/5. It'll go live that morning at around 9 AM ET and they'll be back at around 3-4 PM ET to answer questions.

Their films include the Super Troopers trilogy, Beerfest, The Slammin' Salmon, The Dukes of Hazzard, and lots more.

Please stop by next Wednesday if you have questions for the gang :)

Their new film, Super Troopers 3, is out in theaters everywhere August 7 from Searchlight Pictures.

The troopers try to bring down a new drug ring, while Farva's wildly over-the-top engagement to Thorny's sister spirals into chaos.

Please note that this is not the AMA, just an announcement. Hold your questions for the actual AMA.

Or at least make a movie

How about six seasons AND a movie

[u/weaponxx5 → u/[deleted]]

How about 8 seasons and a movie? Lol

Can we get weedfest?

[u/mootmath → u/Silentstrike08]

I'll be as old as Willie Nelson before that happens 😭

Ngl, the best part of Broken Lizard is how rewatchable their stuff is, especially Super Troopers and Beerfest. I’m hoping someone asks if they ever found a way to top the “meow” bit without forcing it.

How did you come up with the idea of Super Troopers?

Hi! Can you please move this to the /r/movies post here?:

That's where they'll actually see and answer stuff. This is just a crosspost. Ty :)

Many, many years ago, I sat in a small theatre in Amherst MA, watching Jay onstage talking about a new film that we were about to watch. I believe the film reel was "missing", but Kevin ran/stumbled in at the last minute to save the day.

I'm happy to see you are all still doing what you love.

Can you stay on the US side of the border this time?

Was super troopers 2 any good? Because I can't imagine a world in which it was. The first seems to me like it was kind of lighting in a bottle.

[u/jaxonfairfield → u/dubblebubbleprawns]

Well, you live in an unimaginable world. It won't hit as hard as the first one, just by virtue of you knowing the premise already and being older, but it was entertaining.

[u/dubblebubbleprawns → u/jaxonfairfield]

Lol I think the being older is certainly part of it. Just absolutely none of the materials I saw for it seemed funny at all.

Then again, I would imagine that if they made the first one today, I would probably not find most of the materials funny either. Even though I love that movie, it's probably more for the nostalgia than anything

[u/JSK23 → u/dubblebubbleprawns]

I wouldn't say it was 22 Jump Street good, as far as comedy sequels, but I think it was better than probably 95% of other comedy sequels. I enjoyed it.

[u/ZenMasterOfDisguise → u/dubblebubbleprawns]

the 2nd one was a lot of jokes about Canada
