    About this audiobook

    Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators of HBO's classic sketch comedy show Mr. Show, present to you this collection of never-before-seen scripts and ideas that Hollywood couldn't find the gumption to green-light. Simply put...

    HOLLYWOOD SAID NO!

    Since Mr. Show closed up shop, Bob and David have kept busy with many projects--acting in fun, successful, movies and TV shows, directing things, and complaining about stuff that didn't turn out well to anyone who would listen, and even alone, in silence, inside their own heads.

    HOLLYWOOD SAID NO! reveals the full-length, never-before-seen scripts for Bob and David Make a Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment of all that you hold dear. This tome also includes a bonus section of orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for performance by church groups that aren't all koo-koo about religion. What you are looking at online, and are about to buy, is chock-full of comic twists, turns, and maybe a few hard truths. We said "maybe," but what we mean was "probably not."

    Now, for the first time, take a peek at the scripts that didn't get the go-ahead and ponder a world we can only dream about...and beyond!

      An introduction, 2 movie scripts, 3 sketches and some "studio notes" from "movie executives". 'Hooray For America!' was actually really brilliant, 'Bob and David Make a Movie' had it's moments, but ultimately I can see why it never materialized. It could all be a lot better, but I imagine after years of trying to get these made, they're probably read to just publish them and put it all in the past.

      Bottom line, if you loved Mr Show, you'll like this. It's not quite on the same level, but the audiobook has most of the cast back, music, sound effects, etc.

      Mr. Show is one of my favorite tv shows of all time; I watch the entire series at least once a year. Hollywood Said No is two complete screenplays written by the creators - David Cross and Bob Odenkirk - that were never filmed. While either of these two films would probably have been better than the film that we did get - Run, Ronnie, Run - they now read like relics of the time they were written. The trademark Mr Show humor is there on the page, but it doesn't hold up the way the best episodes of the series do. Hardcore fans will enjoy this book, as I did; casual fans, not so much.
