John Ahlin and Christopher Patrick Mullen are the creators and stars of Chip & Gus: A Comedy with Balls, an amazing two hander in which the two title characters resolve the crisis in their relationship while playing ping-pong at the same time. John and Chris discuss how their shared expertise in table tennis and experience as actors led them to create this unique theatrical event; how the play both is and isn't autobiographical; how they navigate “the Wild West of entertainment” that is the Edinburgh Fringe; how, like Harpo Marx playing the harp on screen, the playing of ping pong onstage also requires no acting; what has to happen when you introduce “Chekhov's Balls;” how the characters of a drowning man and the person least qualified to save him became the subject of their play; multiple sport, game, and Sondheim references; comparisons to the RSC's The Complete World of Sports (abridged); and how, in all the years they've volleyed together – both onstage and at table tennis – they've never played a competitive game to win. (Length 23:00) The post Comedies With Balls appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
Once, there was a type of movie called the teen sex comedy... The themes included coupling, horniness, and goofballs learning lessons about what love really was (sometimes, kind of). In 2009, director Will Gluck (EASY A) debuted with his first firm, one such teen sex comedy about two football stars who plot to score by attending cheerleading camp. F U! F U! F U!

This week on FridayFlix, we're saddling up for one of the boldest, funniest, and most influential comedies ever made: Blazing Saddles (1974).Join us as we revisit Mel Brooks' groundbreaking Western satire and discuss why it continues to spark conversations more than 50 years after its release. We break down the brilliant performances from Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, and the unforgettable supporting cast while exploring how the film uses outrageous humor to satirize racism, prejudice, Hollywood westerns, and American culture.We also take a deep dive into the creative genius of Mel Brooks and the crucial contributions of Richard Pryor, whose voice helped shape the film's fearless comedy. Along the way, we debate whether Blazing Saddles could be made today, discuss who the real targets of the jokes are, and explain why the film remains one of the smartest satires ever put on screen.From the campfire scene and Mongo to "Where the white women at?" and the legendary fourth-wall-breaking finale, we revisit our favorite moments, share behind-the-scenes trivia, and decide whether Blazing Saddles still deserves its place among the greatest comedy films of all time.Email us your thoughts at jkentertainment247@gmail.com.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @fridayflixpodcast.And don't forget to follow us on Letterboxd at Cinemack89 and KMcanthony.It's Friday.
Carter and Jonathan are back to review three R-Rated comedies released this summer. They start with The Invite directed by Olivia Wilde, then Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, and finally wrap up with Jackass: Best and Last.
We bypassed the usual Poll for Movie of the Month, The Genre for July was to be a Comedy Film, and Mel Brooks just happened to be turning 100 last week, so the choice was obvious. We are having a "Brooksapalooza" on this Episode. We celebrate, critique, rank and discuss the 11 feature films directed by the comedy genius who is still with us and working. James Wilson returns to the show after a long sabbatical, Howard Casner once again shows his iconoclastic credentials, The Vern tries to keep up with all of the films and Aaron Neuwirth champions "Spaceballs" and "Silent Movie" like no ones business. We do a ranking to cap off the show and you will want to chime in with your rankings as well because after the first couple of films, there is little consistency. Vould you like to have a roll in ze hay? Come join the guests this week as we do exactly that.
Our exit today has us scamming our way to pay for and get through college. This week, we are talking about a pair of films that vaguely look at the college experience. First, we are going to talk about Slackers, written by David H. Steinberg and directed by Dewey Nicks. Next, we will talk about Stealing Harvard, written by Martin Hynes and Peter Tolan and directed by Bruce McCulloch. Along the way, besides all the college talk, we touch on Jason Schwartzman, The Count of Monte Cristo, Tom Greene, The Odyssey, game shows, biopics, Jason Segal, Bloomington/Normal, Wes Anderson, and stay for the credits for a musical number!Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.CFF Films with Ross and friends.Movies We've Covered on the Show on Letterboxd.Movies Recommended on the Show on Letterboxd.
Send us Fan MailHello, my good and, fabulous friends who love film, In our recent Obsession/Backrooms episode, my guests and I mentioned an unpublished 2021 podcast where we skewered the 80's teen comedies, Porky's, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Risky Business. Lo' these five years later, I thought it would be prudent and pertinent to finally publish the episode. Back in 2021 when my sister and Dr. Johnson recorded the podcast, I had this notion that I should be more egalitarian and show all sides of a movie debate. And as mentioned in the Obsession Backroooms podcast, I had a nagging feeling I was letting my generation down or betraying it by beating up on three beloved classics. And I didn't want to come across as overly negative. But in the five years since this podcast was recorded and scrapped. I've realized that that horse has long left the barn. So here it is: the third podcast we ever recorded. Please excuse the terrible sound. And brace yourselves. See to the video podcast on Youtube

You'd think with a résumé like Jenny Hagel's-being a writer/performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, and head writer/EP of The Amber Ruffin Show-she would describe her greatest accomplishment as something like sharing the stage with Hillary Clinton, or the six times she was nominated for an Emmy. Yet, for Jenny, landing a joke or going to a fancy award show pales in comparison to her true passion: giving people advice.Jenny is so obsessed with (addicted to?) offering unsolicited wisdom that she runs a sold-out live show in NewYork City called, appropriately, Jenny Hagel Gives Advice. With her debut essay collection, Jenny sets out to backseat drive for as many unwitting strangers as possible. The result is a heartfelt and funny journey through a list of life-changing recommendations, like: wear black when you travel, buy an analog watch, and just because you can go into the monkey enclosure while visiting Honduras doesn't mean that you should.EssaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We all love a good comedy, well we found a list that ranked the top 10 nearly perfect comedies. It was all going fine until we reached the top of the list and that's when things took a left turn...
Paul and Amy dig into Variety's list of the 100 greatest comedies of all time, celebrating the highs, questioning the rankings, and debating what makes a movie truly funny. From The Naked Gun taking the top spot to spirited discussions around Some Like It Hot, Annie Hall, Groundhog Day, and The Great Dictator, they unpack the list's surprises, omissions, and the impossible challenge of ranking comedy at all.

Judd Apatow is a filmmaker, producer, comedian, and writer. The movies that shaped so many of us were unapologetically funny and often pushed boundaries. As the culture has changed and concerns around political correctness and cancellation have grown, how has that affected modern comedy, and what still feels possible? Expect to learn how to have gratitude for pain, how comedy saved Judd and why “you only learn by not being funny”, why bombing on stage is just R&D, how to keep your ego in check when being friends with someone whose career is suddenly outpacing your own, what it takes to harness more creativity, if the “comedy collective” model still works or if social media ended the long-table-read era, why comedy movies aren't funny anymore and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom New pricing since recording: Function is now just $365, plus get $25 off at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get a free bottle of D3K2, a Welcome Kit, Travel Packs, plus bonus gifts (US only) when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.
