"I always want to make a film that I feel like no one else is going to make." Andrew Bujalski More on this special livestream interview from your host, Mitch Hampton: There are so many wondrous things to say about our livestream guest Andrew Bujalski. The first that comes to mind is how long I have known him. Having met him on his first feature, the groundbreaking Funny HaHa wayback in 2002, no less, and been blessed to have my music as part of his score in his previous Support The Girls in 2018, I think it is a rare thing to watch a single and singular artist grow and evolve over such a length of time. His newest feature, "There there", while not directly about the Covid Pandemic in plot, drew upon the Pandemic in its formal properties. In "There there" he essentially created a new way of filming characters as well as environment: no two actors are in the same location and the photographic technology scanned great geographical distances. "There, there" is a dense, humanistic work about human relationships and love, at once a critical document of our current moment and a continuation of the themes that have most concerned Andrew over the entire 00s to today, including some sweetness and heart alongside the struggles of his characters. I can think of no better decision by Magnolia than to release it on this Valentines Day. It was a treat to speak in depth with Andrew as we discussed many things - all in keeping with the overall artistic and cultural interests of our podcast. Andrew Buljalski's Biography Andrew Bujalski was born in Boston in 1977 and studied film at Harvard's Department of Visual and Environmental Studies. He wrote and directed the films FUNNY HA HA (2002), MUTUAL APPRECIATION (2005). His first films all appeared on the New York Times's “Best of the Year” lists. Bujalski wrote both screenplays, and appears as an actor, playing a major role in both films. BEESWAX (2009) and COMPUTER CHESS (2013), Bujalski's third and fourth independent films, were filmed in Austin, where the director lives now. COMPUTER CHESS is a period film set at a computer programming tournament in 1980, premiered at the Sundance FF and won the Alfred Sloan Feature Film Prize. His film RESULTS (2015), premiered at Sundance FF. SUPPORT THE GIRLS (2018) had its world premiere at SXSW and will be released by Magnolia Pictures. More about his new film "There, there": A lover's doubt in the cold light of morning leads a chain of uneasy intimacies--counselors, disruptors, peacemakers and fire-starters--every one looking to have a little faith rewarded.

In THERE THERE acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Bujalski (Support the Girls, Computer Chess) explores the precarious nature of human connection in a round robin of emotional two-character vignettes in which seven people reach out and bond momentarily, setting the scene for the next encounter. A pair of new lovers, an alcoholic and her AA sponsor, a teacher and a parent, a lawyer and his client, and more move from scene to scene, revealing intimate details as they forge connections. Via a groundbreaking shooting process, Bujalski plays with ideas of isolation and perception by filming each actor individually in separate locations, only joining them to their partner's performance in the edit. An extraordinary cast including Jason Schwartzman, Lennie James, Lili Taylor and Molly Gordon sensitively captures the humor and heartbreaking fragility of life and love in the 2020s. Director Andrew Bujalski (Beeswax, Support the Girls, Results, Funny Ha Ha) stops by for a conversation on how the daunting challenge of making a film in the age of COVID that mirrored the unstable zeitgeist of a film about seven people rattling through life trying to re-connect with a recognizable humanity.

It may be past that time of year, but arriving fashionably late is somewhat Jay & Deon's M.O. Unfortunately, soooooo many terrible things happened in 2021, many of which we'd like to forget.

We wrap up "Funny Ha Ha" month with the return of "The Northman" Earnest Olsson. "The Northman" is not only an up and coming wrestler, but he is also an accomplished stand up comic. He actually comes to wrestling from comedy so we'll get his point of view on how the industries are alike and are different. "The Northman" got his start in Portland's Blue Collar Wrestling before he relocated to the Spokane area where he's competed for some of that area's promotions. Make sure you pull up a chair and get ready for some laughs as we end "Funny Ha Ha" month with a bang.

We are joined by stand up comic and massive pro wrestling fan JR Berard as we continue "Funny Ha Ha" month. JR was a big time fan from the early 90s up until the mid 2000s and he still enjoys going back to watch that era. We will talk to him about what kind of connection he sees between the two industries. Make sure you join us as we sit back with this comedian and talk some wrestling.

We kick off "Funny Ha Ha" month with a great guest. Joe Vernola has worn many hats in the pro wrestling industry. He's done ring announcing, commentary, refereeing, and in ring wrestling. He also has tried his hand at stand up comedy. We'll get to know Joe better and find out how closely he feels wrestling and comedy are to each other. Joe is a constant in the Colorado wrestling scene which is getting bigger and bigger so make sure you join us and get entertained by one of the Rocky Mountain region's talented people.

Kellogg's Australian Marketing Director Lucie Wolstenholme has never written humour into an agency brief but says it can do wonders for audience engagement – think Yellow Pages' ‘Not Happy, Jan' and BigPond's ‘Too many rabbits in China'. “It's a fine art to use humour without falling offensive or flat,” she says. Only a fifth of ads featuring women use humour, compared to more than half of ads featuring men, according to research from Are Media. ABC Radio host and comedian Wendy Harmer reckons 25 to 35-year-old men can't be expected to write humour well for women. “You need that lived experience and relatability,” she says. Are Media's Jane Waterhouse says humour delivers in spades: “We found that humour was three times more engaging than standard communication.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys take a trip to Gotham to spoil the hell out of Joker! Is it clowntastic? Or is it Schumacher awful?

Funny Ha Ha may be the most effective film to capture the meandering, awkward, post-college malaise in which no one had any idea what they were doing or where they were going and I never want to watch it again.

We discuss the Mumblecore 'Movement' and the films Hannah Takes The Stairs, Funny Ha Ha and Humpday. This week on our Patreon we discuss When Harry Met Sally: www.patreon.com/theimportantcinemaclub If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop us a line at importantcinemaclubpodcast@gmail.com

Andrew Bujalski's first feature film, Funny Ha Ha, was called one of the most influential films of the '00s by New York Times critic A.O. Scott. He has also written and directed the films Mutual Appreciation, Beeswax, Computer Chess, and Results, which have played festivals worldwide including Sundance, Berlin, and the 2014 Whitney Biennial. The Boston Globe describes him as "unerringly polite and somewhat disheveled." His latest film, Support the Girls, premiered at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival.

In episode forty-nine of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel (tele-conferencing from quarantine) yell over each other about mumblecore maestro Andrew Bujalski's slyly incisive SUPPORT THE GIRLS before going on to discuss his first film FUNNY HA HA and his recent physical fitness romcom RESULTS. Ben refuses to buy Bujalski's brand but adores Junglepussy's breakout performance, Daniel stans for the brilliant smelting in Regina Hall's star turn, and Brandon single-handedly beats the drum for Haley Lu Richardson in Kogonada's COLUMBUS.

Hailed as one of the rising stars of the DIY/indie film scene at the turn of the 21st century -- including a "favorite filmmaker" designation by perennial bellwether critic Amy Taubin and a "Someone To Watch" Award given by the Independent Spirit Awards -- Andrew Bujalski, rather unwittingly, has been called the pioneer of the so-called "Mumblecore" movement in cinema. Perhaps the most recent alternative film ethos (or maybe just a marketing catchall by lazy journalists -- you decide), Mumblecore has boasted such "graduates" as Greta Gerwig, the Duplass Bros., Lynn Shelton and Joe Swanberg, amongst many others. And it all started -- for good or ill -- with Bujalski, whose films include Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation and Computer Chess. As the Mumblecore gang has grown up, with Bujalski himself having had recent mainstream success with his Support the Girls and screenplay for Disney's upcoming live-action Lady and the Tramp, we can now ask: What happens when film nerds and geeks become major movie stars and big-time directors? Find out on the this episode of NERTZ when Bujalski does far more than merely ... ahem ... MUMBLE his own thoughts on the answer.  

Not Funny Ha-Ha (Fantagraphics) Not Funny Ha-Ha is a bold, slightly wry graphic novel illustrating the lives of two young women from different cultural, family, and financial backgrounds who go through two different abortions (medical and surgical). It does not address the events leading up to the pregnancy, or even the decision-making before choosing abortion as an option. It simply shows what happens when a woman goes through it, no questions asked. It follows them through the process of choosing a clinic, reaching out to friends, partners, and/or family…and eventually the procedure(s) itself.Despite the fact that so many women and girls have abortions every day, in every city, all around us…it can be a lonely experience. Not Funny Ha-Ha is a little bit technical, a little bit moving, and often funny, in a format uniquely suited to communicate. The book is meant to be a non-judgmental, comforting, even humorous look at what a woman can go through during an abortion. Although the subject matter is heavy, the illustrations are light. The author takes a step back from putting forth any personal opinion whatsoever, simply laying out the events and possible emotional repercussions that could, and often do, occur.Praise for Not Funny Ha-Ha“This graphic novel is the abortion story that needs to be heard.” — The Huffington Post“I want everyone who is having, has had, or is considering abortion to have this book. I want everyone who is close to someone who has had, is having or is considering abortion to have this book. I want anyone who feels like they just don’t or can’t understand what it’s like to go forward with, or even think about, abortion as an option to have this book. Really, I just want everyone to have this book, period.” — Heather Corinna, founder and director, Scarleteen: sex ed for the real world“Reading this book is like sitting down with your cool older sister and having her assuringly and frankly explain a really tough situation you’re facing, and then convince you that you’re going to get through it and be okay. Intimate and kind, straightforward and informative, Leah Hayes clarifies and personalizes the clinical experience a woman can expect when she decides to have an abortion. Even more impressive, the author makes the story a compelling read, with charming artwork and humor.” — Ellen Forney, author of Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and MeLeah Hayes is an illustrator, musician, songwriter, and producer. She works out of New York City and Los Angeles.

When does 'funny' have nothing to do with laughter?

With this episode I’m off and running on my 9th year of podcasting.  Did I think that I’d still be at it after all this time?  To be honest I didn’t really think about it...I just kept on producing the shows.  Clearly, this isn’t the same Phedippidations that it was back in 2005...alot has changed with the writing, recording, production, sound quality, processing, sound effects, music sounders and beds...not to mention the changes in the life of the host.  We homo sapiens are funny when it comes to change, and I’m not talking about “Funny Ha Ha”.  I think to a certain extent, many of us go through the course of our lives in blissful or less denial on the topic of change...I know I’m guilty of that...so I’ll speak for myself. Intellectually I understand that change is constant, but in my heart I try to ignore that truth.  I have always preferred to belive that I live in a secure, understandable, familiar and unchanging life and lifestyle...but that’s a fantasy...the truth is that every day and every hour brings change. The way to become happy in life, is to be mindful of this change. Parents with young children experience such change to the extreme.   Those of you with new born and young kids must cherish these moments...for when I warn you that they will pass by much faster than you can possibly imagine, you have to belive me.  I don’t mean to bum you out...but almost literally tomorrow your babies will be full fledged adults, and you’ll have the nest to yourselves...it’s a little freaky at first, but it gets better...it really does. It’s these transitions in our lives that shock and awe us...but they shouldn’t.  I’m talking about our “fear of change” here, something that the buddist nun Pema Chodron writes about in her book “When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times” She writes: “We’re always trying to deny that it’s a natural occurrence that things change, that the sand is slipping through our fingers. Time is passing. It’s as natural as the seasons changing and day turning into night.  But getting old, getting sick, losing what we love—we don’t see those events as natural occurrences. We want to ward off that sense of death, no matter what.  When we have reminders of death, we panic. It isn’t just that we cut our finger, blood begins to flow, and we put on a Band-Aid. We add something extra—our style.  Some of us just sit there stoically and bleed all over our clothes. Some of us get hysterical; we don’t just get a Band-Aid, we call the ambulance and go to the hospital. Some of us put on designer Band-Aids. But whatever our style is, it’s not simple. It’s not bare bones.  Can’t we just return to the bare bones? Can’t we just come back? That’s the beginning of the beginning.  Bare bones, good old self.  Bare bones, good old bloody finger.  Come back to square one, just the minimum bare bones.  Relaxing with the present moment, relaxing with hopelessness, relaxing with death, not resisting the fact that things end, that things pass, that things have no lasting substance,that everything is changing all the time...” She’s right of course...I’m hardly an enlightened soul, but I do understand that everything is changing all the time...and that includes Phedippidations. I’ve recieved thousands of comments about this show over the years, and one of the common subject lines mentions a listeners unhappiness with the many changes that I’ve made with the show.  I cannot, and will not apologize for that, because it’s not something that I have control over...part of the reason I have no control over this is because we’re going through a journey here, together. Like it or not, you’ve been listening not only to my rambling diatribes and presentation of road races and running related topics...but you’ve been listening to the story of my life, and the lives of my friends and family.  I could have made a better effort to sheild you from all that...having worked in commercial radio broadcasting, I know first hand how the private lives of Dee-Jays and Talk Show Hosts are often hidden from the audience. But I didn’t want to do that here, because this is a conversation for and about runners. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Too many of the professional and corporate production houses who have entered this space...as I knew they one day would...continue to follow the tired, old way of broadcasting content.  Many or most are afraid of being complely open and honest, and until they do...they’re always just going to be a radio show pretending to be a podcast...or netcast...or RSS driven audio enclosure....whatever you want to call it.   Can we agree that the “pod” in “podcasting” is no longer relevent?  As my life has changed, this show has changed.  As this show has changed, our relationship as host and listener has changed...and I like to think that this change is, or will be, for the better. Someone asked me recently “How long will you continue to produce Phedippidations”...and there is an answer to that: “until I’m finished”.   That could mean until I’m physically unable to produce the show, or it could mean until I’ve reached the end of our journey together...it doesn’t really matter.  I’ll miss you, you might miss me...but rest assured, somewhere up ahead of us in the near or far flung future, is the last episode of this podcast. We should find comfort in that as we should find comfort in all the alpha and omega moments of our lives.   When Ani Pema Chodron suggests that we return to the “bare bones” in our response to change, she is suggesting that we live for the moment, every moment...that we learn to relax and not resist the fact that change is constant and that everything comes to an end.  Nothing in our lives remains the same, ever...so if you like something, hell...if you LOVE something or someone, an experience you’re having or once had...cherish that thing, person or moment, now...right now...and relax...be better for the experience and move on as the world moves on. And yes, I am the pot pointing out that the kettle is of a darkened hue...but as runners we have an opportunity to think deeply about change...change in our lives, change in our friends and families lives...and even something as goofy as the changes with a podcast.

(BONUS REPOST IN HONOR OF CHESTER'S PENULTIMATE APPEARANCE ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK) Pedophiles: Public enemy #1. You've tried smelly sprays and perverticides, but pedophiles can smell too. They avoid sprayed areas and keep coming back for more. What you need is CHESTERKILL... ...Oh, I can't do it anymore. I so want to make light of our library's resident pedophile Chester the (Potential) Molester, but I just can't stand to do it. He was never a joke to us when I worked there and he's still not now. Unfortunately, guys like Chester, who have more than a dusting of interest in underage girls, are a part of life when you work in a library. They don't tell you in the interview that it's part of your job to defend the patrons these sick bastards might (or might not) like to prey upon. But when you see them in action, you gladly do it because every fiber of your being screams for you to. And Chester was particularly infuriating for many reasons, but two primary ones: 1) monitoring Chester's activities when he's in the building becomes a full time job from the moment he arrives; 2) Chester above all other patrons can magically appear at the sound of his own name. This is less of a Funny Ha-Ha episode and more of a Holy Shit, I Can't Believe That Guy Is Walking The Earth, Where's Chris Hanson When You Need Him? kind of episode.

An in depth chat with Andrew Bujalski, writer-director of such films as Funny Ha-Ha (forerunner of the so-called mumblecore movement), Mutual Appreciation, Beeswax, and the upcoming Computer Chess. Recorded June 7, 2012.

You, Me, Them, Everybody Live! at the Hungry Brain with Claire Zulkey, Ricky Carmona and Michael Lux and the Bad Sons I was an All-Star! Claire Zulkey is an author (buy her book "An Off Year") and all-around nice person. You should see her show at the Hideout on May 10. It's called Funny Ha-Ha […]

Colin Marshall talks to Andrew Bujalski, the young director of the films Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation and Beeswax, which is newly available on DVD. Though Bujalski’s funny, realistic movies are often considered by critics to be of a similar genius to other independently-produced pictures of the 2000s focusing on the personal relationships of twentysomethings, they possess an intellect and an aesthetic all their own.
