Jim y Andy
Himself
Una mirada entre bambalinas de la película "Man on the Moon" (1999) de Milos Forman, y de cómo el actor Jim Carrey adoptó completamente y de forma radical la personalidad del cómico Andy Kaufman. Un documental del director Chris Smith sobre el tiempo en el que el actor Jim Carrey interpretó al famoso y complicado comediante. Jim Carrey obtuvo los elogios de la crítica y un Globo de Oro por su interpretación, pero muchos de los momentos más kaufmanianos de la producción se desarrollaron detrás de las cámaras, grabados en vídeo por la exnovia de Andy, Lynne Margulies y su excompañero de guion, Bob Zmuda. En 'Jim y Andy', Carrey vuelve a mirar el metraje resultante 18 años después, reflexionando sobre cómo él y Andy convivieron en universos extrañamente paralelos, su experiencia convirtiéndose en Andy y Tony y, en líneas generales, en el viaje espiritual de su carrera.

Vocals

"Permanent Vacation" dates back to 1980, years before their first album, while "Bad Day" dates back to 1985.
