Ship Heads, prepare yourself for maximum fun, because our illustrious host has teamed up with two stellar guests, Starline Hodge and Hana Michels to talk about a game that's truly one of a kind! Though tough to explain, the sheer joy of rolling up all of known civilization into a junk star is an unparalleled experience that deserves unpacking (and then re-packing obvs).

Writer, comedian, and cat fancier Hana Michels returns to the cast to look at a House episode that made us realize we're all daddy's boys in our own way. This is an episode that starts with the standard House shuffle and then goes off in some fun, weird directions including an in-office finance bro penis fungus infection, House's parents, and the world's worst most dangerous keychain. But before we get to any of that there's a whole lot of tangents. Sorry! My fault, mostly! But if you wanted to hear an extended discussion about what you can wear as a condom, gender discourse (we're all on the correct side), and like a thousand other things, stick this episode in your ears right now!

It's No Right Answers! The confusing trivia game Seanbaby made up to punish Brockway and whoever gets near Brockway. This week it's Hana Michels, who was weirdly prepared to answer questions like "which animal deserves a punch in the face?" and "It's the day after The Purge, who has the easiest day at work?" The ONLY trivia game GUARANTEED not to teach you ANYTHING.
Hana Michels and I had a job to finish, and that job was reviewing the Garfield TV Tropes page. Turns out the second half didn't have that much going for it though, so instead we mostly read tons of wholesome comments left under Gafield comic strips over the last decade. Just trust me when I say it's funny and will also brighten your day. And yes, to answer your next question, we do read all of the comments left under the infamous "Jon drinks dog cum" strip.
Comedian and writer Hana Michels (@hanamichels) joins us to find out whether everybody lies or not. When a lacrosse player is brought in with double vision and night terrors, it's up to Gregory House to... start a bet about whether the kid is adopted or not. Will House win his bet? Were all Jews told that eating pork would give them a tapeworm? Did Hana's cat pull her router out of the wall part way through the recording? The answer to all these question and more will be revealed when you cross the threshold of... The House of House.
Friend and comedian Hana Michels joined me to look at the TV Tropes page for the Garfield comic strip, a page that probably shouldn't exist because the Garfield newspaper comic strip doesn't really have much structured plot. And yet, for some reason, it has so many tropes that we decided to split it into 2 parts. Among the topics covered are alien prudes, 9/11 comic strips, and Ben Shapiro getting mad about a lack of animal genitals in kid's cartoons.
Topics Include: Masters Of The Universe, Space Jam A New Legacy, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, Midnight In The Switchgrass, Invasion, Reminiscence, No Sudden Move, America: The Motion Picture, Fear Street, the upcoming Indiana Jones, and creamy cat videos.

Comedian and writer Hana Michels talks with Garrett Martin about the 2019 live action remake of Lady and the Tramp.

And what does it do with that one infamously racist scene? Join Hana and Garrett as they crack into the lowest profile Disney live action remake, but also probably the cutest.

On Episode 21 of Sup Doc, George talks with comedian Hana Michels about My Depression: The Up And Down and Up Of It by Elizabeth Swados, Robert Marienetti, and David Wachtenheim (2014). Does an animated memoir even count as a documentary? HBO thought so, but we have questions. Hana and George talk about depression, having two therapists as parents, medication, comedy, and generational shifts in humor. Famed Broadway writer, director and composer Elizabeth Swados has struggled with depression her whole life. She shares her experiences with this often-misunderstood condition to make a difficult and sometimes taboo topic more accessible and understandable. Based on Swados’ graphic memoir “My Depression: A Picture Book,” and featuring the voices of Sigourney Weaver (as Swados), Steve Buscemi, Fred Armisen and Dan Fogler.Hana Michels grew up on the west side of Los Angeles, the daughter of two Jewish psychologists, she pursued a career in comedy in hopes of utilizing her unique ability to judge herself at a professional level.

Hana's writing for sites such as Vice, Reductress, and Thebadguyswin has ranged from silly and satirical to personal and biting.Follow us on:Twitter: @supdocpdocastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.
