Re: Josh Brener

I've also seen 1600 Penn.

More like Gucci Mane addiction. Am I right?

This is probably my all-time favorite documentary (or at least tied with Crumb, another great Criterion selection). It was just so much fun. I'm a comedy fan, I love my movies lighthearted, but few things have kept a smile on my face as long as this movie did.

If you rewatch the horrifying three way scene you'll see Karl "fingering" Ders' armpit. For the most part I found this episode lacking but that had me rolling.

I really liked the Target storyline, I thought it was so hilariously Bobby (funnily enough, it did occur to me that it would be funnier in an Ikea). I had kind of assumed that the punchline would be that Target Mary was a legitimately crazy person, but I liked that they played it off like these vacations were a real…

I was 1000% sure the whole time that it was going to wind up being that guy behind it. I was surprised (and pleased) that it was just a random Woody Allen shoutout.

Whatever you personally think of it, there are a lot of very talented people involved in Chelsea Lately.

Agreed on all counts.

They had two hours and one hour was spent shopping. So they had an hour.

MB: I had a personal assistant in L.A., and there’s drugs that
are in my house sometimes, locked up or stashed away. You got to figure
that anyone that’s working for you is dipping in, you know? It’s just
what people do. “Let’s do some coke or some pills. Let’s take a few here
or there.”

I think he just makes an effort to openly discuss it, seeing as that is most of the point of his podcast. I'm sure if you sat down at a table with him it'd be different.

Maybe it's just because I listen to so many but I think podcasters by and large would make good subjects.

I kind of assumed that she was meant to seem quietly ashamed of the whole thing, like a really awkward walk of shame. That scene was definitely a little on the nose though.

I can understand being annoyed that Brody was already in the Pentagon in that moment, I can also understand wondering whether or not you'd be able to text in that moment. Brody being in on that meeting makes sense though. A) He was a prisoner of Abu Nazir for years, of course they would think of him and B) The vice…
