Cheese Foam: Directing Drew Barrymore & Being Pranked by Kevin Smith w/ Chuck Staton | RATM #19
From Hot Dogs to Drew Barrymore: Chuck Staton’s Wild Ride
This week, Chuck Staton (Tuesdays with Stories, Funbearable, Tell ’Em Steve-Dave) joins Raj and Eric for a chaotic deep-dive into his journey from DIY filmmaking to directing for big names like Kevin Smith, Mike Birbiglia, and yes—Drew Barrymore. We talk prank-on-the-performer comedy, navigating the changing film/TV industry, shooting with one-man crews, and how a hot dog bit led to FBI attention. It’s equal parts hilarious, inspiring, and absurd.
💥 Plus: AI panic, audience feuds, prank letters, fake hot dog carts, and the underrated power of cheese foam.
🎧 Hit play. Trust us, this one’s stacked.
