I didn't want this to be a matter of attacking easy targets for attacking easy targets so I will throw someone I love into this. Conan O'Brien is one of the funniest people ever but his political comedy is completely toothless because it embodies the raging inoffensiveness of bipartisan comedy. It feels like the work

Good to hear the Sundance tradition of half-assed directorial debuts from actors remains intact.

Thanks a bundle, guys. I started this series because I was going through a world of financial pain myself and was hoping talking to other people in similar situations would make the world make a little more sense and it's really gratifying to see people respond to this feature, since it does not have the

Favorite lines? I'm partial to "I'm a vegetarian and I'm aroused" and Bizzy Bone's "Music is abundant" and contention that everyone loves Jamie Kennedy, especially in the movie Malibu's Most Wanted.

That was the one part of this broadcast that was confusing and didn't really make sense. 

I would love for this to be commercially available somehow, though I cannot see how that'd be possible.

Yeah, that's an absolutely abysmal documentary. He comes off as a drunken, vaguely unhinged bully. Great topic for a documentary but oh sweet blessed Lord is it something infinitely less than great.

Thanks, yeah, this really did have an SCTV vibe to it, deliberately or otherwise.

I feel the same way. The guys on the margins are always the subjects I like best.

Yeah, that is a genuinely funny movie.

Was anyone else completely emotionally shattered by the Todd Hanson episode? I was. I vividly remember weeping at my desk listening to it but I suspect that's partially because Todd is a friend and someone I identify with strongly.

Wayans has made so many terrible films that I had forgotten that he had made LITTLE MAN until that became the image for this story. Yikes. He's a talented guy (he was great in REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) but good lord does it take a lot of chutzpah to rail against SCARY MOVIE 5 while promoting A HAUNTED FUCKING HOUSE for
