Are there any other movies of yours that you would like to revisit to give audiences the opportunity to connect or reconnect with it?

I just said to Stiller yesterday, our next commentary is on Heavyweights. Heavyweights was a movie that Steven Brill directed that me and Steve wrote together. Ben Stiller was the bad guy, and it was about a summer camp for overweight kids and he is the abusive owner. It was definitely a schizophrenic movie because it felt on one hand like a classic Disney movie, and then it got really weird, dark and hilarious. And that's become a little bit of cult movie as well. There was a funny thing on Twitter the other day where everyone started tweeting quotes from it, and then Aaron Rogers of the Green Bay Packers tweeted a quote from Heavyweights, and Ben and I got very excited. So maybe we can get that out one day; there were a lot of extended versions of those scenes where Ben went on these mad improvisations with that character, which I would love for people to see.

Ben Stiller was hilarious in that movie. I don't remember anything else about the movie except his insane character. It's probably his funniest role after Zoolander.

Nice job on the Cable Guy review. You sold me on it.

I swear Ben Stiller's acting in Heavyweights and Dodgeball is identical. The characters are pretty much interchangeable.
