Mike Nichols was a bad ass. We both honestly feel bad for not realizing how much of a bad ass he was while he was alive.

I mean...

1 Grammy,
1 Oscar with an additional 4 nominations
4 Emmys, with an additional 2 nominations...
and 9 GODDAMNED TONY AWARDS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 9 GODDAMNED NOMINATIONS.

Oh, and he was a founder of Second City.

Honestly, this guy is next level. If you don't appreciate how great he was, you really need to do something about that.

Remember, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's that? All you have to do is call or e-mail us. If you live in the US, or any place that makes calling the US easy, just dial 512-666-RANT and leave us a voicemail. We will read the Google Voice transcript and play your message. It's both funny AND informative.

If you live outside the US you can call us on Skype at The_Film_Thugs. You can leave a message, or someone might actually answer.

E-mail us at thefilmthugs@gmail.com and we will read/play whatever you send us, or you can e-mail thugquestions@gmail.com to be part of  an upcoming "Ask the Film Thugs" show, where we answer questions on any subject without having heard them first.

Also, we are on twitter @thefilmthugs and on Facebook and Vine.

You can also click on one of our sponsor links below and THEY will pay us. That's right. You won't have to pay a PENNY extra, and Amazon/Onnit/Teefury will give us a little taste.

Thanks for listening, and until next week...
