RePhrasing: An Archer ReWatch Podcast- H. Jon Benjamin & Chris Parnell on The Rock (Archer S1E8) — Mistake Juice, Tattoo Stories & Union-Busting Malory

Episode notes

Amber Nash (Pam Poovey) is joined by H. Jon Benjamin (Archer) and Chris Parnell (Cyril Figgis) to revisit The Rock — Season 1, Episode 8 of Archer.

They talk Jon’s hair-transplant mishap, Archer tattoos, and his run-in with tattooed truck drivers. Chris shares thoughts on Cyril’s very complicated parents, and both Jon and Chris admit to moments of feeling self-conscious about their own line reads on rewatch. The gang gets into mistake juice, secret-agent Irish wakes with redacted names, Malory’s surprising seductive power, and the massive phrasing dump in this episode.

Also in this episode: our segment “Two Truths and a Line,” Moby Dick, Malory’s union busting, Casey’s band Skagnetti, and “Bread and Roses.”

📺 FX’s Archer is now streaming on Hulu.
