Conan and Ewan talked about his very unique new movie, The Men Who Stare At Goats. The dark comedy is based on the U.S. Army's true story efforts to train a unit of psychic soldiers.
The comedic effect is underlined by director Grant Heslov's clever weaving of Star Wars references inside the "Goats" script, which sees a bemused reporter (Ewan McGregor) accompany a paranormal operative (George Clooney) to the desert war.

On the show last night, Conan also encouraged his staff to bring in their leftover candy, which was turned into an awesome coat for Andy to wear that can supply candy for the whole audience.
