  • Mike Myers sits down to watch his own movies on VHS. Throwback, we know. Watch as he revisits scenes from Wayne's World, Austin Powers, Shrek and The Pentaverate, and gives his perspective on what it was like to work with Beyoncé, the fight for the rights to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and Shrek's Scottish accent.
    The Pentaverate is currently streaming on Netflix
    00:00 "Beyoncé was a dream"
    00:41 Wayne's World
    03:05 Austin Powers
    07:04 Shrek
    09:07 The Pentaverate

    The fact that he was more than happy to rerecord the entire shrek movie in a Scottish accent just because he thought it was better and convinced them to do it, is why we have the greatness of Shrek now. Thank you good sir.

      I had high respect already for Mike Myers, but hearing that he rerecord for Shrek boosted that respect even higher. His humbleness of giving credit to the talent working with him and helping him attain the highest caliber of quality, even in sillier movies like Austin Powers (which I still enjoy rewatching)

    Mike Myers is so generous towards the other talent. Most actors seem to play dumb, when it comes to giving credit where it's due. That gives you an idea of how collaborative of a spirit he has! I was hoping he would talk about his Ray Foster character in Bohemian Rhapsody, because the other actors have spoken about how deadly serious Myers was about getting it just right; that he takes the art of comedy/acting/production very seriously. He was uber-prepared with all kinds of concepts and things to try. I'm somewhat paraphrasing here, but the other actors said that it was like watching a masterclass.

    Love Myers' humility and the way he credits the crew. It was the best marketing you could have for The Pentaverate. Just watched it and it was a hoot. A classic Mike Myers film with him playing multiple unhinged roles broken up into a limited series with lots of cameos, wordplay, and his trademarked toilet humour. Loved it!

      Canadian raising refers to the way we diphthongize certain vowel sounds and has nothing to do with our voice going up at the end. Whether someone does that or not has nothing to do with nationality.
