He's hysterical in "Flight," "Argo," and everything else he's ever done. Especially "Lebowski"

[@podcasterat1542]

Oh yes very funny. I loved in Flight when he said I'm on the list baby girl. I'm going "brother what club are you trying to get in??"

[@jazzisforpainting4928]

Is that where a scene from 'In The Electric Mist' was shot?

[@caseyrook]

Please John Goodman for once remind people you are from St. Louis BEFORE talking about New Orleans. I have an idea, you can participate in the Mardi Gras parade in The Big Easy and the St. Patrick's Day parade in St. Louis (Both parades are better in St. Louis....)

[@calculat3d998]

Parades are better in St. Louis? hahahahahahahahaha

[@nola305]

LOL, St. Louis is my birthplace but, New Orleans is where i was raised, idk how you can say that STL's mardi gras is BETTER than New Orleans', I pay homage to my birthplace (St. Louis) but, New Orleans is 'home' to me!

[@UnNotAnon]

Did you just say that the parades in St. Louis are better than NEW ORLEANS? You are SOOO sadly mistaken.

[@alextownsend4706]

One of the best actors of our time!!

[@frightenedsoul]

No mention of his role in Treme? I hope it was before that role because that show was literally about New Orleans.

[@g.t.7362]

This is why I love him! He knows a good thing when he sees it! Hahaha

[@caseyrook]

Probably too busy. He's working on Hangover Part 3 (Seriously?) and the Monuments Men with George Clooney
