NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour is a spirited discussion of books, movies, music, television, comics, and just about anything else on the minds of "Monkey See" blogger Linda Holmes and a revolving door of special guests.
Comedians Jason Mantzoukas, Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and a cavalcade of hilarious guests talk about the best worst movies that were ever made, and it will keep you laughing all the way home.
Doug Benson really loves movies. If you do too, you'll enjoy playing along as Doug and a handful of celebrity guests play a grab-bag of movie trivia games and talk about their favorite films in front of a live audience.

It didn't rain during the run-through taping that I attended, but they were performing as if it was. The opening scene was shot with umbrellas (like the one that aired) and before they filmed the carnival scene, the pavement outside was sprayed with a hose.
I'm assuming they did this in-case they were forced to use the carnival footage from the run-through — you know, if they couldn't pull it off in the rain that was supposed to pelt LA during the broadcasted show.

I lucked out and was located on a soundstage that housed both The Frosty Palace and Rydell High's gym. More unfortunate souls were placed outside on the metal bleachers in front of Rydell, which didn't see much action after the first half of the show.
