Shoe Eaters Anonymous


Did anyone notice the bizarre conversation between the guy from the shoe store and the guy who likes to eat shoes? They said it really loud, they said it on the air, on the radio (radio, radio).

Yeah, it's really bizarre and it doesn't fit well into the story...it doesn't make any sense to me.

I never really paid attention to that conversation until my, like, FIFTIETH time watching this movie. "You like to eat shoes?!?" Hilarious.

We'll see whose the filthiest person alive! We'll just see!

Some guy downthread said it's an uncredited James Woods. I knew he sounded familiar.

It's a stupid radio DJ prank calling someone. It fits right in with a teenage girl sitting in her room getting ready to go out, listening to the radio, but not really actively listening. It could have been a little lower to appear that it came from the radio, but then we might have missed the most surreal background conversation I think I've heard in a movie. I'm just trying to figure out who the guy is, sounds really familiar. I don't think it's Stern, he was less of an obnoxious bigmouth in the old days, if I remember, but it's familiar in that way...

I thought it sounded like Howard Stern...
