Episode #432: ‘Jay Kelly’ with Justin Tyler

George Clooney is JAY KELLY in Noah Baumbach’s latest film…and that might be true in more ways than one. The film chronicles the career of a fictional movie star. Speaking of chronicles, we’re joined by actor and filmmaker Justin Tyler, voice of the titular Derf in MaxFun’s newest show, The Young Old Derf Chronicles (maximumfun.org/episodes/mission-to-zyxx/d01-th…). And we have a movie quiz about real actors playing fictional actors on film!
