h/t to RUBBERsoulLESS who tipped me off to an episode of How Did This Get Made: The Room. I gave this episode a spin on my drive back to Pittsburgh this past Friday – and it absolutely killed me.

The crew covers many of the films deep philosophical topics and are joined by Greg Sestero, the actor who played Mark. One of the highlights that had me almost veering off of I79N was the follow excerpt, where Tommy Wiseau explains why there was a scene where 4-5 men were dressed in tuxes tossing a football around:

I think people should realize that playing football without any gear and a special BIG HUGE field – it’s fun. So you can play football in tuxedos you can play football 3 feet apart and the idea is to have fun. So ..I would recommend to anyone to try it.

Can’t argue with that. If you enjoy the Room and have an hour to kill while driving/cleaning/whatev – please check out this episode.

Here’s to hoping the Oaks has another screening of the Room sometime soon…

UPDATE: Just checked out The Oaks site a bit closer – and it appears that currently the Room is playing every 2nd Saturday of a given Month…. time to organize a trip…
