(Adam Scott from Parks & Recreation and Party Down, Ellen Page from Inception and Juno, and Kevin Smith to name a few.)
It's a half our, it's free, and it's hilarious. Audience members get the change to win prizes as the guests play the Leonard Maltin Game in which you guess a movie from a shrinking cast list. It's typically a weekly show, so if you can't catch it this week, download it on iTunes or check out this page or the UCB calendar for more shows.
