  • This is an early screen showing for "music comedy phenomenon" Flight of the Conchords. The excerpts from arts show The Living Room follow Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement from Wellington to performances at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Dreams of fame come face to face with budget digs, Jonah Lomu and anonymity, which the duo face with their droll resolve. Larry Pritchard (Taika Waititi) takes on the role of manager, pre Rhys Darby. The next year the Conchords were nominated for a Perrier Award, en route to an HBO TV series and cult stardom.

    oh god imagine being able to go back in time and tell these three men that one was going to win an oscar, one was going to direct the highest-grossing Thor movie and one was going to be a sparkly crab in a children's movie. Truly impressive work.
