Show notes

Lee Kirk is a filmmaker and playwright whose feature films as writer/director include Ordinary World, starring Billie Joe Armstrong, Selma Blair, Judy Greer, and Fred Armisen, and The Giant Mechanical Man, starring Jenna Fischer, Chris Messina, Topher Grace, and Bob Odenkirk. His award-winning play Ashland Avenue had its world premiere in October 2025 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. He has directed numerous music videos, as well as episodes of the NBC comedy The Office.

Lee joins me to discuss his terrific new film NIMRODS, which opens in theaters this Friday, August 14th. It’s a '90s-inspired coming-of-age road trip movie inspired by the band Green Day’s early days. The band is heavily involved and in the film, alongside a killer cast including Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn.
