The Iron List #43 | The Best Movie Cameos Ever! Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Because our patrons demanded it, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold present their picks for THE BEST MOVIE CAMEOS EVER!

These are the moments when an actor you had no idea was in the movie shows up for only one or two scenes and completely blows you away, by being totally hilarious, or unexpectedly creepy, or just by being themselves.

And for (maybe? we think?) the first time either, there are NO OVERLAPS on Bibbs and Witney's lists! They didn't pick any of the same cameos or films!
