Jason Sudeikis (”30 Rock,” “Saturday Night Live”) is so good as the rock-band manager in the new movie “The Rocker” that he pretty much steals the show. Being rockers ourselves, we wanted to do something a little different than the normal junket interview. Sudeikis was in town promoting “The Rocker” (starring Rainn Wilson), so we ambushed the comedy star with a homegrown rock n’ roll quiz to see how much of his portrayal was a result of Method acting. As it turns out, this didn’t quite go exactly as planned. This is probably the last time we try to quiz a movie star. Yikes! Maybe we should just stick to the regular junket questions. Anyway, enjoy this very uncomfortable interview with Jason Sudeikis from a dirty hotel room somewhere in Kansas City.

Eric caught up with Wayne Coyne before The Lips took the stage Friday June 6, 2008 at the Wakarusa Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas, where The Flaming Lips set up a special circus tent, served green popcorn, and screened the new Flaming Lips movie “Christmas on Mars” for only the second time ever (the first was just one week before at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in George, Washington). Wayne also talks about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” - The Broadway play.

Wayne also talks about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” - The Broadway play (although not in this episode– coming up!).

Wayne also talks about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” - The Broadway play (although not in this episode– coming up!) And yes, this exclusive video does include the opening with Wayne walking inside a giant bubble over the heads and hands of the crowd.

It’s finally here– the last installment of the Scene-Stealers Oscar Fix! (Grueling, wasn’t it?) Eric and J.D. tackle the biggest category and the one generating the biggest amount of controversy– Best Picture. Will it be the grim outlook of “No Country for Old Men” or “There Will Be Blood” that prevails, or will “Atonement” prove to be this year’s “The English Patient”? Don’t forget “Michael Clayton.” (Unless you’re J.D., of course; he’s been trying to forget that film since he saw it.) One of our critics picks “Juno” to upset them all. Which one will it be? The answers are finally revealed after a long night of drinking and talking Oscars into a camera! Behold, Episode 8 of the 2008 Scene-Stealers Oscar Fix. And don’t forget to enter the Oscar Contest, you fool! We gave you all the help you needed and then some…
