As a disservice I will be posting bad puns the uncontrollable pop into my mind on an irregular basis.

The local retro-cinema was showing a triple feature of a 1995 movie directed by Wayne Wang, as well as Fame and Lovers and Other Strangers. I was expecting some substance but it turned out to be...

Uh, Jay? Have you tried accordion lessons?

For the benifit of the sane (i.e. those whose minds doesn't operate like mine) I'll explain - but I promise it wont be worth it...
Wayne Wang directed a movie called Smoke in 1975, and in the named films (Fame and Lovers and Other Stangers) Anne Meara of (Stiller and Meara fame as well as the mom of Ben Stiller) had good size roles in both those films.
Smoke and Meara's is a pun on Smoke and Mirrors - which accounts for the reference of it not being of any real substance.

I prefer this version:
