I recently randomly picked up a copy of Marvel’s Ant-Man on Bluray for $7.30. I had no intention of owning the film, but I just couldn’t pass up the deal. It didn’t come with a slip cover or digital copy, but for that price, I couldn’t really complain.
Ant-Man is probably my second to least favorite Marvel film. I would have love to have seen a proper Ant-Man film by original director/writer Edgar Wright (from Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs the World) ... but due to Marvel’s over controlling demands for characters and stories and tone... Wright left the project, citing creative differences.
Anyway, the Bluray came with an audio commentary from replacement director Peyton Reed and lead actor Paul Rudd. Early in the film, the two talked about how much they love Neil Hamburger (who apparently appeared briefly in the film).
As luck would have it - Neil “America’s Funnyman” Hamburger is currently on tour. He’ll be stopping by the Turf Club in St Paul this May 12th.

Here is the Ant-Man transcript and screen still.

Peyton Reed: Gregg Turkington in that scene that you mentioned, of course, we’re big fans of Gregg from on Cinemax’s On Cinema and, of course, Neil Hamburger... to me, and I’m sure I’m speaking for you too, we were thrilled to have him in the movie. And that scene was terrific.
Paul Rudd: I’ve been a huge Neil Hamburger fan since the mid-90s. I have every Neil Hamburger’s CDs, I think, including 50 States 50 Laughs.
Peyton Reed: Okay! Nice!
