Talib Kweli & Seth Green On 'Family Guy,' 'Austin Powers,' & The Beastie Boys | People's Party Full 

TIME STAMPS: 2:45 -- Seth speaks on his growing up in the Overbrook Park area of Philadelphia, being raised by two teachers, and attending a K-12 school as one of the only kids that had any interest in acting. Seth is also asked if he identifies with the notion of Jewish people being naturally funny from humor born out of pain, he talks about how his Jewish upbringing gave him the empathy to identify with the struggles of others from marginalized communities and they discuss the things that seperate humans from animals. 5:50 -- Talib brings up a scene from Seth's film 'Radio Days' that made an impression on him and goes on to ask Seth if he can see the parallels of the golden age of radio vs. today's golden age of podcasting. Seth digs into what he loves about radio as a medium, radio being unique in the way it uses sound effects to create mood, he illustrates how effectively they use sound effects in 'Robot Chicken', and how particular sounds and timing can contribute to how funny the scenes are. 10:59 -- Seth is asked about his experiences making the Austin Powers films. They discuss Seth and Talib's shared love of '90s SNL, the difficulties that the producers had in getting the first Austin Powers project financed due to Mike Myers' last film bombing, Seth having to choose between joining the cast of Austin Powers vs. star in a Carrot Top movie, Seth is asked how much room he was given to shape the character of Scott Evil, and he goes on to detail what went into forming the role. 18:41 -- Talib talks about being a huge fan of the 'Fast & Furious' movies for all the wrong reasons, and they discuss Tyrese Gibson representing the audience POV in the "Fast" franchise, as well as how fantastically ridiculous those films have become. They also get into Lorne Michaels and Donald Trump's comparison to Dr. Evil, the passing of Verne Troyer who played Mini-Me and the fun times he and Seth shared on set, as well as Seth and Verne riding a golf cart together at the 'Anger Management Tour'. 25:08 -- Seth and Talib discuss first meeting each other at a Beastie Boys concert. Seth hilariously describes how his conversation with Mos Def went backstage and how Common giving Seth his working pass had MCA doing double takes. Seth also responds to the rumors of a fourth installment of Austin Powers being in the works, if Scott Evil will be making a return, they discuss Seth's experiences working on 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel', nerds becoming cool, as well as the innovation and evolution of emceeing. 29:43 -- Seth speaks on his playing the character of DJ James St. James in the film 'Party Monsters'. They dig into Seth connecting with Denzel Washington's notion of being in service to the truth of the characters he portrays, Seth spending two years on the development of his role, taking only three weeks to shoot the film, Macaulay Culkin and Seth both fully realizing the magnitude of the opportunity to be in the movie, and Macaulay's journey as a child actor. 35:03 -- Talib and Jamsin both admit to 'Family Guy' being one of their favorite shows of all-time as they ask Seth if any of the jokes on the show were a bridge too far even for him. they go on to discuss the show's pop culture references, Chris Griffin's voice originating from an impression of Buffalo Bill from 'Silence Of The Lambs', Seth's fanbase being a six degrees of separation situation, his close friendship with Seth McFarlane, as well as how fun it's been to watch his career evolve first-hand over the years. 42:26 -- Seth touches on the debate over why Brian is the only one able to understand Stewie and he gives his take on why he hates his mother so much. They also discuss how Chris Griffin's beef with the monkey came to be, 'Robot Chicken' having one of the best 'Star Wars' parodies of all-time, George Lucas reaching out to Seth and the crew to work together, Seth getting the chance to interview George, how that gave him a good comfort level going forward, and Seth shares his experience working on 'Clone Wars'. 49:45 -- Talib asks Seth about Peter Griffin's dismissal of 'Robot Chicken' on 'Family Guy' and if that has any relevance in real life between Green and McFarlane. They also discuss Seth's experience attending a Zoo where a 6 foot Taco charged him, playing Howard The Duck in 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', starring in the 2019 film 'Changeland', the story of that movie coming from a vibe Seth experienced when traveling the world, working with musician Patrick Stump, and finally Seth is asked what he's currently got in the works.

This podcast has gone from strength to strength. Talib Kweli is a bona-fide natural interviewer and seems able to establish an easy rapport with every guest. Brilliant work.

The world needs a Talib Kweli NPR Tiny Desk Concert. It’s time Bro. Respect.

Another great episode guys. Seth Green has been someone who I have grew up on from Austin Powers to Enemy of the State to Family Guy to Robot Chicken. He is hilarious. He doesn't get enough credit for what he has done in Movies and TV. I'm glad you and Jasmine gave him his flowers when he is here he definitely deserves it. Once again thank you for another great episode always look forward to Mondays just for the peoples party.

One of the best parts about Mondays.

*The Talib Kweli Show!!!!!* Episodes like this are the reason this show is underrated!!!!! We need a Part Two to some of the zoom interviews (Fat Joe/Busta)

The Mos Def mention had me crying 🤣 had to watch that four times over. Inspired choice to interview Seth Green ♥️

Are none of us going to point out Seth wearing a Gorillaz/Fantastic 4 album cover collab t-shirt?

Special-K finally getting his respect.

Great interview 👍👍I loved how Talib geeked out over Austin Powers and Star Wars 😂👏👏 and big ups to Seth for seeing how MC’s are lyrical nerds 👏👏👏

Already love it. Seth is so funny. "Preparation H does feel good... on the whole" 🤣🤣🤣

What's funny is long before Seth Green was Seth Green, I was already quoting this dude relentlessly. That's because he's the little brother in Can't Buy Me Love. Hilarious role in an underrated 80s flick. Threw me for a loop when I realized that was him. I been quoting this kid all my life. "Now that ain't Dick Clark." lmao

This podcast is awesome. Talib is a natural when it comes to asking questions but most importantly letting the guests talk and not interrupting. When I say “this podcast” I’m referring to the entire body of work the Peoples Party has produced.

Talib Kweli has found his true calling.

My guy Seth Green ! don't forget he was also in the movie Airborne back in the day too.

These two guys together was great. Big fan of both of them. Seths work throughout the years is so inspiring. He’s done so much with everything, still humble as hell, & just a solid cool dude for real. All out genius in what he does. Much respect ✊

This is a crazy podcast idk how it took me this long to find it but I'm so grateful I did

Seth Green in the movie Can't Hardly Wait 😂

I like Talib being appreciative that Seth read his book.

This was a true pleasure to watch. Great discussion with someone all in the business of entertainment!!!

I remember him from airborne in the 90s and after this idle hands and can't hardly wait.. wow I miss those movie's days

What a great interview. Two of the coolest dudes on the planet chatting it up for an hour.

Love this. Airborne was one of my favorite movies as a kid and now I feel more connected knowing we’re both from Philly. Salute

Legend conversing with legend...

This is an awesome interview. He's so funny with the voices

Kudos to The Peoples Party having hella diverse guests. Feeling my Highs and my lows....

seth and mac seem to be cut from the same cloth. very natural and grounded individuals. talib has really great interview agility, he seems to be able to present great understanding with whoever he interviews and does the leg work to do that before the guest arrives.

Seth and Talib have good chemistry

IMO, People's Party has the best & most insightful interviews EVER!! It's tamed & more disciplined Drink Champs for the entire culture. Thnx!!!

I think its Impossible to dislike Seth Green

May the Peace be with u Joker. From Harlingen Texas. February 8, 1974 February 8, 2022 through February 8, 3022

Hands down the best podcast out there

seth green is just like matthew lillard does not get appreciated enough , coming from movies like italian job, Sthephen king IT , idle hands and can hardly wait and ofcourse buffy an angel, the favorite movie from him is without a paddle he killed it in that movie and the fact it was with matthew lillard and dax sheppard made it even more hilarious and not forget the movie sex drive

WOOW!!! Disco Bloodbath refrence! What a great book from the early 2000's

Love Seth Green so much. One of the few celebrities that seems like it would be fun to hang out with them.

Seth Green is probably great with children. He’s so funny.

I have more respect for family guy after this podcast. And a deeper curiosity to watch some of Seth’s movies I’ve never seen. Shoutout Talib and Jasmine and Seth.

first movie I saw him in was "cant buy me love"!

Patrick Stump would be a great guest. Love hearing from guests who had their own career in a completely different place during the time Kweli's albums were starting to blow up. Interesting hearing their different perspectives and crossroads between their careers.

Everyday is a gift

awesome

he was in idle hands my favo movie

Great episode!Seth need some throat coat tea tho!

I saw Rat race in a drive through movie theater in Wisconsin dells in August 2001

I used to be a fan of Seth Green until the Isaac Kappy revelations. What are your thoughts on Isaac Kappy, Seth? I REALLY hope none of it is true.

TALIB KWELI IS A MASTER CRAFTSMAN!!!!

Great interview! Anyone know where he got that shirt?

What happened to Issac kappy, Seth?

Mass Effect trilogy, yeah baby!!

Just watched idle hands yesterday and IT on halloween lol

Everytime someone says this is the best podcast on the planet i go i dont think you've seen Legion Of Skanks than hahahah

When they're talking about the Lamborghini not even having studded tires. I just wanted to say "it's not the car, it's the driver"

I love rap music with krsone

Enemy of the "fuckin" state 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ and he had some of the funniest lines in that movie.

39:18 Tooo funny... and thank you . LOL!

I forgot what skit but at the end they Said, our show is clever

He was in an episode of X Files!!

Literally watching HULK agents of smash 💥 Seth is Dope!

Great mos def story 🤣😂👏 25:37

Wonder if they'll talk about how he disappears in enemy of the state half way through the movie

I just realized he was on "Batman Beyond" as the bully, Nelson Nash .

I want to see Talib on Hot Ones

Mini me loves chocolate... SCOTTY DON'T

I thought dr evil was a SLIGHTLY exaggerated impression of Bill Maher lol.

damnit, Seth looked like Willem Dafoe in the small thumbnail. Sure has changed since Entourage

I, Alex Sage, am an artist and lyricist that will always aspire to be someday walking in a similar place to/ or next to Talib. So much inspiration in his persona and his career path he's created through his art.

Does Talib's son have produced releases?

Still hoping they do What If Spiderman was The Punisher, Howard the Duck can be Micro!

I wish they asked him about Joker from Mass Effect

What is Kame-Con Jazz? 🤣

I like the afro americans

✊🏿💯
