THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• The opening home video showing Ira making a prank phone call was a real home video that Judd Apatow shot when he was roommates with Adam Sandler. If you watch carefully you can also see a young Janene Garafolo and Ben Stiller in the video as well.
• Before the role of Mark was given to Jason Schwartzman, Judd Apatow was considering Bill Hader for the role.
• This film's story can be seen as a modern update of the classic novel The Great Gatsby.
• Aziz Arisari's character Randy became so popular with the cast and crew that Judd Apatow decided to shoot a fake documentary following the character around and included it as a special feature on the DVD release. In addition after the film wrapped he began negotiations on doing a full fledged feature film based on the character.
