Vanderpump Rules’Katie Maloneyis sharing details of a surprising evening she once spent with Crispin Glover.
On the latest episode of Maloney’s podcastDisrespectfully, which she cohosts with another alum from the Bravo reality show,Dayna Kathan, Maloney revealed that she once went on something of a date with Glover, 59, after they met at theSundance Film Festivalin the 2000s.
“So he came in, he had a film at the festival that year, and he was really nice,” she recalled of Glover. “While he was in there, the duration, when I came around we exchanged pleasantries — and he was like, ‘Do you have plans later? Do you want to come see the screening of my movie?’ And I was like ‘Oh, sure, I don’t think I’m doing anything later. That’s cool.’ "
While Maloney did not recall exactly what year their meeting happened, Glover made his directorial debut in 2005 withWhat Is It?, which premiered at that year’s Sundance festival.

Maloney said that the film “was the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen.”
“It was so strange,” she said. “I show up, I see him — he’s like, ‘Oh great, you’re here. Let’s go grab our seats.’ I thought he was just going to put me on a list and I’d show up, watch the movie and bounce. Oh, no — I was there to go watch the movie with him.”

An official synopsis forWhat Is It?onMubi’s website describes the film as “a bewildering, unnerving, surreal, blackly comic” story. On the podcast, Maloney recalled “sitting next to him watching this movie [thinking], ‘What the f— is happening in front of me?’ " as it screened.
“But I can’t react that way, I have to try to follow along and understand what this movie is about,” she said. “No clue. And it’s a full-length movie, it’s not a short. It’s like an hour-plus movie. It’s dark, it’s twisted, it’s strange. I mean, it’s Crispin Glover. What are we expecting?”

“I think people talk about him being this strange dude — he’s done some weird stuff on talk shows in the past and people are always very curious about him because he’s just interesting,” she said. “My experience with him was kind of just him being a guy.”
