As most of you know, the Broken Lizard guys have a new movie premièring at this year’s Slamdance Film Festival and it’s called “The Slammin’ Salmon”. Earlier this week we premiered the red band trailer and to say the response was huge…well, that would be an understatement. While I knew Broken Lizard had fans, the amount of bandwidth used in the first 24 hours was insane. Quite a response, meow.

So…when I was offered the chance to interview all the guys, after the success of the trailer, I jumped at the opportunity. Not only was I curious about how “Slammin’ Salmon” came together, but I was hoping to find out what was up with some of their rumored future projects like “Super Troopers 2”, “Potfest” and “Greek Road”.

Thankfully, the guys couldn’t have been nicer, and with the help of Collider’s own Andre Dellamorte, we spoke to all five guys earlier today.

However, while interviewing one person can sometimes be difficult, trying to speak with five people at the same time is next to impossible. So what we decided to do was break up the guys.

First, we spoke with Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan, as they’re the two directors. And after that interview was done, we spoke with Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske.

Since both sets of interviews are pretty extensive, I’m posting the Jay and Kevin interview tonight and I’ll have the other interview online Sunday. This way you can spread out your love for Broken Lizard over the weekend.

Finally, last night the guys held a friends and family screening for “Slammin’ Salmon” and I managed to interview the star of the movie Michael Clarke Duncan, as well as Sendhil Ramamurthy (“Heroes”) and Carla Gallo. So if you missed those interviews just click the links.

And with that, here’s the interview. As always, I’ve listed what we talked about above each part.
