Donnell first caught the attention of the industry while his fan base exploded with his hilarious sketches as Ashy Larry on Chappelle's Show, but it was his critically acclaimed role as Damien “Day-Day” Price on HBO's “The Wire” that turned heads and legitimized him as a serious actor and catapulted him in the theatrical world. Most recently, his role as Alvin in the hit STARZ TV series “BMF” and his unexpected return to the second season, as well as his role as the snarky Mr. Earl in Adam McKay's acclaimed HBO series Winning Time grew his followers. Rawlings filmed his first Netflix comedy special this past February. It was one of four specials produced by his close friend Dave Chappelle.He also hosts his podcast, The Donell Rawlings show.You can see the hilarious Donnell Rawlings at Helium.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oggi ci soffermiamo su Don't Look Up, film uscito nel 2021 diretto dal regista Adam McKay – un nome che forse ricorderete per il film Vice – L'uomo nell'ombra, di cui vi abbiamo parlato in uno degli ultimi episodi. Una pellicola in pieno stile McKay, che anche questa volta trasforma il cinema in satira e caricatura della società moderna. Un'ironia tagliente e spietata sul sistema dei media e sull'America di oggi, la cui influenza si estende ben oltre i propri confini.Un film basato su eventi reali... non ancora accaduti. 

Esteban Gast is a comedian, content creator, and educator. He's the comedian in residence at Generation 180 where he created the Climate Comedy Cohort. I saw him recently at an event hosted by Adam McKay's company. This is my first time talking to him and it's almost eerie how much we have in common. This is a chatty episode, couldn't help it.

In this episode of the Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show, Dan, Stugotz, and Mike explore the COVID era of the show. What began with fear and anxiety as a global pandemic unfolded eventually turned into what the guys consider one of the most creative eras of the show. You'll hear from all three about how the show stayed afloat during an unprecedented time despite early struggles with technology and communication. They also explore how creativity could run free due to the lack of sports and the desire so many creatives had to find a platform to express their voices during the shutdown. That all comes out in this week's supercut, which features some of the funniest bits from this time with the likes of Adam McKay, hilariously troublesome interviews like the show's infamous chat with Action Bronson, and the show's icy relationship with Michael Doleac.  Learn more about your ad choices.

De Jean le prophète à Mad-Max, les récits de fin du monde dans la pop culture et la science-fiction. Une fiction sonore documentée produite dans le cadre de l'exposition Apocalypse, Hier et demain, à la Bibliothèque nationale de France du 4 février au 8 juin 2025. Dans un futur très lointain, Souviens-toi de l'Apocalypse nous invite à enquêter sur la fin du monde. Grâce à une rencontre inattendue et la découverte d'un manuscrit ancien, cette fiction post-apocalyptique nous révèle comment le Livre de l'Apocalypse, ou Livre de la Révélation, a profondément marqué la culture « populaire », à travers les récits de science-fiction, le cinéma, le manga et le jeu vidéo. « Heureux celui qui lit ce livre, heureux ceux qui écoutent ce message prophétique et conservent attentivement ce qui est écrit ici. Car le moment où tout cela doit arriver est proche. » Au 1er siècle après Jésus-Christ, dans son Livre de l'Apocalypse, Jean le prophète nous mets en garde contre l'imminence de la fin du monde. Depuis, on retrouve cette même angoisse du « délai » à travers de nombreux récits de science-fiction, et notamment au cinéma, avec les films Take Shelter (Jeff Nichols, 2011), Don't Look Up : Déni cosmique (Adam McKay, 2021), et Melancholia (Lars Von Trier, 2011). Hantise individuelle, vécue au sein d'un groupe ou d'une société entière, tous ces films nous plongent dans l'angoisse de la Fin imminente.

Wicked is in danger of getting BANNED in the U.S., according to one director. Why? Right-wingers. Yes, Adam McKay is claiming that America has pivoted so far Right that Wicked is in danger of being banned in 3 to 5 years. The musical "Wicked" may face potential bans due to right-wing backlash against its LGBTQ themes and liberal messages, reflecting broader trends of political censorship and societal tensions in America. 00:00 "Wicked" may face a potential ban from right-wing politics, but hosts believe there's no valid reason for it despite its upcoming digital release. 02:08 Adam McKay warns that "Wicked" may face a ban in a few years due to right-wing backlash against its radical themes amid shifting political views in America. 03:42 Wicked may face U.S. bans over its LGBTQ themes, echoing media censorship trends, despite being marketed as a PG film. 05:54 Concerns grow that "Wicked" could be censored amid rising right-wing ideology and dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party. 07:40 Concerns grow that new legislation could allow future presidents to label nonprofits as terrorists, risking bans on cultural works like "Wicked" amid rising societal tensions. 09:18 Right-wing backlash may threaten the future of "Wicked," despite its long-standing popularity and relevance. 10:21 Claims of "Wicked" facing bans for its liberal themes are unfounded, as political censorship reflects a broader trend of content alteration and book banning. 12:06 The speaker expresses frustration over the hypocrisy and stupidity in political behavior, anticipating more absurdity leading up to the inauguration.

In a companion piece to the last public bonus, Daniel and Jack discuss Adam McKay's Vice from 2018, a dense metafictional dramedy biopic of Dick Cheney, unofficial president during the George W. Bush years and architect of the 'War on Terror'.  An interesting movie, possibly as flawed as it is brilliant.   Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month plus all backer-only back-episodes.

Few films define absurdist comedy, as well as Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004). Directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell as the legendary, moustachioed newscaster Ron Burgundy, Anchorman carved a bold path through comedy with an all-star cast, offbeat humour, and unforgettable quotes that have lingered in pop culture. In this Anchorman (2004) Movie Review, we're diving deep into what makes this cult classic not just a film but an icon of comedy—and one of the most quotable movies of all time.Plot and Characters: When News Was KingSet in the 1970s, a time when "men were men" and women "stayed at home," the story centres around the fictional KVWN Channel 4 News Team, led by the famously self-assured and sometimes painfully oblivious Ron Burgundy. Alongside Ron, we meet his team of misfits: the weather-savvy, clueless Brick Tamland (Steve Carell); overconfident field reporter Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd); and sports anchor Champ Kind (David Koechner), who lives for high fives and pep talks. These characters create a backdrop of harmless but hilarious masculinity that clashes sharply when Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) joins the team as the station's first female anchor.Anchorman's setup brilliantly juxtaposes the absurdly sexist mindset of its male leads against Veronica's ambition, highlighting the shifting social norms of the time. The plot might be thin—it's mostly about Ron and Veronica battling it out for the anchor position—but it's rich in comedic material. It's a satire of news culture, masculinity, and the competitive, ego-fueled world of media that remains relevant today.A Perfect Cast: Comedy's All-Stars UniteWhat makes Anchorman shine is its cast, an ensemble of comedy heavyweights who bring McKay and Ferrell's vision to life. Will Ferrell is flawless as Ron Burgundy, balancing his bumbling arrogance with just enough charm to make you root for him even as he gets himself into deeper trouble. Ferrell's embodiment of Ron's obliviousness and blustering bravado became instantly iconic; it's hard to imagine anyone else playing the role.Meanwhile, Steve Carell's Brick Tamland is a masterpiece of deadpan comedy. With lines like “I love lamp,” Carell captures a character so endearing yet clueless that it's impossible not to laugh. Paul Rudd's Brian Fantana is the epitome of 70s coolness gone hilariously wrong, especially during his “Sex Panther” cologne debacle—a bit so absurdly funny it's now a classic in itself. David Koechner, as Champ Kind, rounds out the team with his absurdly aggressive, often over-the-top take on sports reporting. Each character is individually funny, but together, they create an ensemble that works on a level of comedic chemistry that's rarely matched.Christina Applegate's Veronica is the perfect foil to the bumbling news team. Applegate's character is strong-willed, determined, and smart—qualities that make her the film's moral compass but never dull the humour. Veronica's arc gives Anchorman a unique edge, creating a comedy with an unexpectedly solid message about the power of women in the workplace, wrapped in layers of absurdity.Improvised Brilliance: McKay and Ferrell's Signature ComedyMuch of Anchorman's magic comes from its improvisational style. Adam McKay and Will Ferrell wrote a loose script, allowing the cast the freedom to riff and play off each other's quirks. This is a huge part of the film's charm; the lines feel spontaneous, and the cast's reactions are genuine. Some of the most memorable scenes, such as the Channel 4 news team's infamous back alley brawl with rival news stations, are the result of this improvisational approach. The “news fight” scene, which features cameos from Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and even Tim Robbins, is so outlandish it has become legendary. It encapsulates what makes Anchorman special—a wild mix of unpredictability and commitment to the bit.McKay's direction leans heavily on satire, poking fun at the masculinity and trivial self-importance of the news business, especially in an era where anchors were often worshipped as local celebrities. McKay and Ferrell's collaboration laid the groundwork for a style of humour that would define future hits like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, blending absurdity with a hint of social commentary.Cultural Impact: Ron Burgundy's Lasting LegacyAnchorman isn't just a comedy; it's a cultural phenomenon that has transcended the screen. Lines like “Stay classy, San Diego,” “I'm kind of a big deal,” and “Great Odin's raven!” have made their way into everyday conversation, solidifying Ron Burgundy's place in pop culture. The film even spawned a sequel, 2013's Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, although many fans argue the original remains untouchable. This lasting impact speaks to the film's perfect combination of hilarious writing, iconic characters, and the kind of humour that feels fresh every time you watch it.The film's legacy also includes its influence on subsequent comedies. After Anchorman, comedies began more openly embracing improvisational styles, and the genre saw an increase in surreal, character-driven humour. The success of Anchorman gave McKay and Ferrell the leverage to create other offbeat comedies that pushed boundaries and expanded the genre's potential.Why Anchorman Still WorksRe-watching Anchorman almost 20 years later, it still holds up remarkably well. While some of the humour is undeniably ridiculous, the film has an underlying cleverness that gives it staying power. Its satire of the media is still relevant in the age of social media and 24-hour news, and its take on gender dynamics in the workplace remains poignant. For a film filled with absurdist humour, Anchorman has surprising depth and remains one of the most quotable films in the comedy genre.Final Verdict: A Comedy Classic Worth RevisitingIn the Anchorman (2004) Movie Review episode of Born to Watch, we celebrate this comedy classic for its perfect blend of absurdity and satire, brought to life by a dream team cast. From Ron Burgundy's unflinching vanity to Brick Tamland's lovable cluelessness, each character leaves a lasting impression. Anchorman continues to entertain audiences with its unique humour, endlessly quotable lines, and moments of genuine satire that speak to an era obsessed with image and celebrity.So, if you haven't watched Anchorman recently, it's worth revisiting. With every rewatch, you'll find yourself laughing at the same ridiculous lines—and discovering new ones that maybe you didn't catch the first time. This is comedy at its best: brash, bold, and utterly unforgettable. Stay classy, listeners, and join us on Born to Watch as we break down why Anchorman remains one of the greatest comedies of all time.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

On the eve of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, we here are looking back on to a film that (very briefly) covers the closest in American history, Vice focusing on former VP Dick Cheney. Adam McKay's controversial film still secured eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Did the satirical portrayal of Cheney and the Bush Administration work for us? Come back next week for our review of Here, the new film from Forrest Gump trio Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Robin Wright!

We're sharing a special bonus episode of The Lever's flagship podcast, Lever Time, founder David Sirota and award-winning screenwriter and director Adam McKay discuss Democrats' bid to win over GOP voters by repeatedly touting endorsements from former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney. Critics say the move could alienate swing-state voters, but others say it's a shrewd gambit to attract disaffected Republicans. McKay's Oscar-nominated film Vice is widely considered the definitive biopic of Dick Cheney.Subscribe to Lever Time wherever you listen to podcast or visit LeverTimePod.com to hear more episodes.

In 2004, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay revitalized comedy in the aughts with 90 minutes of pure, goofball nonsense behind the desk of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The whatever-is-funniest-wins approach to the story of San Diego's Channel 4 News Team is absurd in all the right ways. Clint and Alex (Cal is still struggling with his case of Fireman's Elbow) talk about improv in close ups, the importance of buttons in comedic fight scenes and how Ron Burgundy gave us memes before memes were a thing. Meanwhile, Dan's algorithm is getting busy on the most beautiful rainbow you can imagine.

Lewis watched the presidential debates and, whooo boy! Does he have some thoughts about it. Not only did he get particularly enraged about the two minute format, but just what was said on stage flat out seemed to be detached from reality. But the action didn't stop there as there was plenty of post-game analysis by pundits that was just as zany. After the debates, Lewis battled the political spam messaging but it might not be one he can win. But don't worry if you want an escape from all the politics as there's plenty more crazy happening around the country.  This episode features a clip from the Master Plan podcast that includes an excerpt of the Powell Memo read by Lewis himself. The podcast is a new investigative series hosted by award-winning journalist and former Bernie Sanders speechwriter David Sirota (who is also the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Adam McKay film Don't Look Up) has been working to unearth never-before-reported documents showing how a group of tycoons legalized corruption for the wealthy. It's an epic journey from the 1970s to the present, hearing the untold stories of infamous folks you already thought you knew — like President Richard Nixon and Fox News boss Roger Ailes. And you'll meet operatives and oligarchs you've probably never heard of, because they've wielded their power in the shadows. If you somehow think government corruption doesn't affect your daily life, think again: from high medical bills to lower wages today, it's all part of the "Master Plan."

Sure, everyone has heard of Coppola and Scorsese and Spielberg. But those guys are two silent generations and a Boomer!What about those Gen X filmmakers that have really made an impact on Hollywood? It turns out that there were way more notable directors from our generation than I had originally expected. This is only part one.Part 1 covers those directors born between 1965 and 1969. You may recognize names like Michael Bay, Wes Anderson, Antoine Fuqua, James Gunn, Zack Snyder, and Denis Villeneuve. Billions of dollars in box office between them, with some more “artistic” projects in their filmographies as well. We can also get so caught up the “big name” directors, that it is forgotten how the Pixar films have been - up until very recently - very high quality films, regardless of being animated. So guys like Byron Howard and Andrew Stanton, who have made some of the best of the Pixar flicks, are not household names outside the hardcore animation fans. It should come as no surprise that the movies that have most resonated with me in recent years have been Gen X directed. What are some of your favorites?

Ah, The Avengers. The 1998 big screen adaptation of the much-loved TV series is a bit of an odd movie, but as Simon discusses in this episode, things weren't quite going to plan at studio level. Not that Warner Bros handled the film particularly well come release time - an infamously late decisiont to avoid a review screening soon backfired. In the case of Step Brothers, the third film together for Adam McKay and Will Ferrell is often cited as their best. Still, the hit comedy has a bit of a story to it - plus the pub quiz fact that McKay shot more footage for Step Brothers than Francis Ford Coppola shot for Apocalypse Now... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Ferrell starts as the titular Ron Burgundy, a popular San Diego news anchor in the mid '70's who sees his world turned upside down when his station eventually hires a woman(!) to be a potential co-anchor on his news program.  Her name is Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), she's excellent at her job, they start dating, they fall in love.....and complications result.  This satirical comedy was directed by Adam McKay (Don't Look Up, Talladega Nights) and features a pretty stacked cast of gifted comedic actors including Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Kathryn Hahn, and Fred Willard.  It was released twenty years this month and would end up being one of the more quoted comedies of the 21st Century.  Let's find out if how it still holds up....Stay Classy, San Diego!Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

You wouldn't think you could win a Nobel Prize for showing that humans tend to make irrational decisions. But that's what Richard Thaler has done. In an interview from 2018, the founder of behavioral economics describes his unlikely route to success; his reputation for being lazy; and his efforts to fix the world — one nudge at a time. SOURCES:Richard Thaler, professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago. RESOURCES:“Behavioral Economics,” by Richard Thaler (The Past, Present, and Future of Economics: A Celebration of the 125-Year Anniversary of the JPE and of Chicago Economics, December 2017).Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics, by Richard Thaler (2015).Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein (2008). EXTRAS:"Farewell to a Generational Talent," by Freakonomics Radio (2024)."Why Is Richard Thaler Such a ****ing Optimist?" by People I (Mostly) Admire (2021)."All You Need Is Nudge," by Freakonomics Radio (2021).The Big Short, film by Adam McKay (2015).

Welcome to another episode of "No More Late Fees"! This week, Jackie and Danielle, our ex-Blockbuster besties, dive into the wacky world of San Diego's top news team with "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." Expect a wild ride featuring brick fights, jazz flute solos, and plenty of hot takes. Joining them is Jamie, from HR Besties Pod, who brings her passion for millennial rights (and ankle socks) to the table. Together, they navigate the comedic antics of Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his crew, including Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd). As they revisit this 2004 comedy gem, the trio doesn't hold back on the laughs or the critiques.
