…discussing beloved comedy movies from the late 80s and early 90s
“Wayne's World. It's my favorite movie of all time. Let's talk about how great Wayne's World is. Can we please talk about it? I mean, Dana Carvey was instrumental for me when I was- He was in, you know, like you always kind of fall in love with the SNL cast that you saw when you were like 13, 14. And him and Jan Hooks and like that cast, Phil Hartman. And Mike Myers was an improviser who came out of the theater that I studied at.”

…hayley williams discussing wayne's world as her favorite movie
“Well, so my parents were really young and I think that's why I got to grow up on stuff like that from the early, early 90s or the late 80s. And I thought that's how we would dress when we became adults. I wear fishnets under denim, ripped up shorts. We wear flannels over Aerosmith t-shirts. And I literally dress like that. Yeah, I mean, I just, I, that movie has, it's like the godfather to me. Like I quote that movie all the time.”
