A few weeks ago I posted part of my exclusive interview with Mark Wahlberg that covered The Raven, The Brazilian Job (the sequel to The Italian Job), Five Brothers (the sequel to Four Brothers), Cocaine Cowboys and The Fighter.  But with the awesome comedy The Other Guys opening in a few days, it’s time to post the entire conversation.

The thing to know is…if you’re a fan of director Adam McKay and Will Ferrell movies like Anchorman and Talladega Nights, you’re going to love The Other Guys.  And while I always thought Mark Wahlberg was a great actor, I’ll admit to being very surprised he could do comedy so well.  Trust me, when you see Wahlberg and Ferrell on screen together, you’re going to love their chemistry.  Anyway, during the interview we talked Boston sports, when did he know he would work so well with Will Ferrell, doing improv, future projects, Comic-Con, and a lot more.  As always, you can either read the transcript or listen to the audio after the jump:

Just a few hours ago I was interviewing Mark Wahlberg for the upcoming comedy The Other Guys.  While I’m not supposed to say too much about what I thought, trust me when I say it’s an awesome comedy that had me laughing from beginning to end.  If you’re a fan of Adam McKay and Will Ferrell movies like Anchorman and Talladega Nights, you’ll love it.  And Ferrell and Wahlberg’s chemistry is perfect.  It’s a great comedy.

Anyway, while I’ll be posting my full exclusive interview with Wahlberg closer to the August 6th release of The Other Guys, since he gave me updates on The Raven, The Brazilian Job (the sequel to The Italian Job), Five Brothers (the sequel to Four Brothers), Cocaine Cowboys and David O Russell’s The Fighter, I figured you’d like to get those updates today.   Hit the jump for more:
