Podcast appearances and mentions of Kumail Nanjiani

ORDER MY NEW BOOK (AVAILABLE NOW)!!! — https://bit.ly/49CZ5A0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Gerry and I are joined by Funny AF top six finalist and stand-up comedian Winston Hodges, who, before he was making Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler, and Kumail Nanjiani laugh on Netflix, spent four years teaching at a school for kids on the autism spectrum in Virginia. Winston shares some of the wildest classroom stories I've heard on this pod, whether it's getting hit with a globe mid-Civil War lecture, becoming the school's unofficial crisis negotiator, or the one-month average staff retention that meant his coworker Marissa quit on day TWO. He also explains why special education teachers are tough as nails, and how working with kids on the autism spectrum made him weirdly elite at managing other comedians' meltdowns. Then we go fully behind the scenes of Funny AF. Who ran the light by ten full minutes and genuinely thought they killed, the conversation about his late dad that got cut, why some sets got edited harder than others, and how he handled the brutal Threads discourse around the show. Takeaways: Special education teachers are some of the toughest, most skilled humans in the building. The "sweet and gentle" stereotype misses the patience, paperwork, and de-escalation skills the job actually demands. Crisis de-escalation is a transferable superpower. Working with autistic students made Winston better at handling hecklers, talking comics off the ledge, and the kind of active listening most people don't get in their day-to-day life. Reality TV editing is real, but Funny AF wasn't a hit piece. Winston says the team genuinely loved comedy and worked to make everyone look good, even when they could have done the opposite. Don't trust the algorithm to tell you when your favorite comic is in town. Get on their email list, or you'll be the person commenting "when are you coming to my city?" two days after they leave. Comedy used to feel like a brotherhood, comics could trash-talk each other privately but had each other's backs publicly. That solidarity is slipping, and it's a bummer for the whole craft. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

What does it actually mean to be seen—and to belong—without having to earn it, explain it, or change yourself just to be understood? That's the question at the center of this conversation with Eugene Yi, an Emmy-winning director known for powerful documentary work including Free Chol Soo Lee, The Rose: Come Back to Me, and his latest HBO film The A-List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas. On the surface, The A-List brings together 15 voices across the Asian American and Pacific Islander community—Connie Chung, Sandra Oh, Bowen Yang, Kumail Nanjiani, alongside people you may not know yet, but should. But this is not a celebrity documentary. It's intimate by design: no performance—just people speaking honestly. A story rooted in AAPI identity, diaspora, and lived experience. And what stands out is that even these leaders and public figures have felt like they didn't belong in the rooms they were in. This is a universal challenge. People trying to find their place.People trying to be understood. And what you see in this film is a community of people who have felt unseen—realizing those shared experiences don't just connect us, they strengthen what community actually is. If you've ever felt unseen, you're not understood or need to change everything you are to belong. This conversation on REPPIN will help you feel less alone in that experience, and see it differently.

Welcome back to another episode of the Following Films podcast. I'm your host, Chris Maynard.Today on the show, we're diving into a genre that feels like it's been missing from the multiplex for far too long: the warm-hearted, 80s-style coming-of-age comedy. My guest is the legendary Bobby Farrelly, who is here to talk about his latest film, Drivers Ed.In the film, a group of teens hit the road in a stolen driver's ed car, racing against time to help a lovesick high school senior (Sam Nivola) track down his college-freshman girlfriend and win her back. In 24 chaotic hours, they're chased by school security and the cops, shot at by small-time crooks, and somehow adopt a three-legged cat. Also starring Kumail Nanjiani and Molly Shannon. Drivers Ed hits VOD this Friday, and honestly, it's a breath of fresh air. It has that genuine heart and nostalgic energy that reminds you why we fell in love with these kinds of stories in the first place. Bobby and I get into the nuts and bolts of the new film, but we also take a deeper look at his career—specifically how he approaches the representation of characters with special needs. From the groundbreaking moments in There's Something About Mary to the intentionality behind Drivers Ed, we discuss why having characters the audience truly cares about is the secret sauce to making his comedies work.We also touch on how laughter could be the fountain of youth. It's a great conversation with a filmmaker who knows exactly how to balance a punchline with a bit of soul.Let's get into my interview with Bobby Farrelly.

Peter watches Mad Max: Fury Road for the first time in decades, and Eden — who has seen it at least a dozen times — watches the black-and-chrome edition alongside him. Peter finds the opening act almost too uncomfortable to watch, given its uncomfortable parallels to the current political moment, but gets fully on board the moment the sandstorm hits. They dig into what makes the film a masterpiece of practical filmmaking, why Furiosa holds up better than the prequel, and what it means that George Miller also made Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet.SHOW NOTESCheck-in / What we've been up to — Eden is riding their cargo bike in 35mph Iowa wind gusts; Peter is heading to Austin for an Intuitive Surgical robotics event. Eden vents about 18 months of accessibility compliance work being ignored by faculty who don't read their emails.Peter's picks — Finishing Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6 (fun but disposable, and the online fandom's intensity baffles him); finished Season 2 of A Man on the Inside (Ted Danson and his real-life wife Mary Steenburgen falling for each other on screen — highly recommended); Taskmaster Series 21 has started, featuring Kumail Nanjiani. Big metal week — Peter covers a stack of new releases: Slave Machine by Nervosa (vicious all-female death-thrash from Brazil); Too Fast to Die by ArchSpire (potential album of the year if not for Neurosis); new Inferi album featuring departing drummer Spencer Moore; Descent by Immolation; and Master Boot Record's first live album Realtime Execution. Eden's picks — Eden is scrobbling again on Last.fm and shares a chaotic top-four week: Portishead, Rebecca Black (Salvation EP praised as a stone-cold classic), Neurosis, and new discovery Javiera Mena, a Chilean electro-pop artist. Also watched two bad movies with the bad movie crew: Firecracker (notable for a truly unhinged sex scene) and American Cyborg: Steel Warrior ("Children of Men with a $13 budget"). Currently reading a 3,500-page Chinese web novel called Long Awaited Feelings / My Feelings Can Wait.Why Peter struggled with the opening act — Peter found Immortan Joe's cult of worship uncomfortably familiar, given current events, describing it as George Miller predicting how "stupid and gullible people can be." He warmed to the film as it progressed, with the sandstorm sequence being the turning point."A perfect action film" — Eden's framing: not their favorite action film, but possibly a perfect one — no wasted frame, no wasted scene. They've seen it at least a dozen times, and this watch was the black-and-chrome edition, which Miller originally intended before the studio overruled him.Practical effects deep dive — 80–90% of the stunts were practical, shot on location in Namibia under miserable conditions. They highlight the pole-cat war boys actually swinging on moving vehicles, and the real flamethrower guitarist who was instructed not to hold the guitar too high.On the cast — Charlize Theron gets full credit for owning the film as Furiosa. Tom Hardy's near-silent, physically understated performance is praised. Nicholas Hoult's arc as Nux — going from zealot to sacrifice — is called out as the emotional hinge of the film.Frame rate trivia — Eden flags that 50–60% of the film was shot below 24fps, with Miller manipulating frame rates shot-by-shot to control tension and legibility.Furiosa comparison — Eden recommends the prequel but notes its heavy CGI and green screen make it feel cheaper and less embodied than Fury Road. Peter says he's now interested to watch it.The Babe 2 revelation — The episode ends on Eden's genuine disbelief that the director of Fury Road also made Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet, and a fun piece of trivia: Immortan Joe's actor, Hugh Keays-Byrne, also played Toecutter, the villain of the original Mad Max.

It's finally here - your complete encyclopedia of Amy Gledhill, Armando Iannucci, Joanna Page, Joel Dommett and Kumail Nanjiani. Join us for Jack's definitive deep dive into the Series 21 stats that promises absolutely no predictive benefit to anyone, but is quite good fun to know! If you're a fan of trivial trivia - like whether this is the oldest or most muscly or shortest cast - then you're in the right place. Plus, Jenny predicts Joel could be the squeakiest contestant, Jack confesses his comedy crush of the series and we all discover one comedian's old-relic of a LinkedIn profile.Send all your Series 21 thoughts along to fans@taskmaster.tvDownload the Taskmaster App here:https://taskmaster.tv/appIf you're in the UK you can watch all of Taskmaster on All 4 www.channel4.com/programmes/taskmasterAnywhere else, it's the Taskmaster YouTubeyoutube.com/taskmasterVisit the Taskmaster Store for all your TM goodies!taskmasterstore.com

Ella McCay (2025) Film Buff Review: James L. Brooks' Return to Directing After 15 Years Analyzed here with fresh eyes in 2026: Is Ella McCay—the 2025 political comedy-drama written and directed by legendary filmmaker James L. Brooks—still relevant for today's audiences? As a dedicated film buff, I break down this question while reminding everyone exactly who James L. Brooks is (and was). The Oscar-winning writer-director behind timeless classics like Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, and As Good as It Gets—plus iconic TV hits including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and The Simpsons—has shaped American culture with his signature blend of sharp wit, heartfelt family dynamics, and relatable characters for over five decades. His influence on both cinema and television is undeniable, even if his big-screen output has been quiet in recent years. That said, here's my honest review of his long-awaited 2025 comeback, Ella McCay, starring the fantastic and highly watchable Emma Mackey. (And yes, I double-checked—she's not 100% Margot Robbie, though fans of Barbie will spot that same charismatic energy and screen presence in her performance as the idealistic young politician juggling family chaos and high-stakes work life.) This warm yet uneven ensemble piece also features a stacked supporting cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Albert Brooks, Woody Harrelson, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, and more. Set against a political backdrop, it explores the messy realities of "having it all" in a way that feels both nostalgic and timely. #EllaMcCay #EllaMcCayMovie #JamesLBrooks #EmmaMackey #FilmReview #MovieReview #PoliticalComedy #2025Movies #JamesLBrooksReturn #TermsOfEndearment #AsGoodAsItGets #BroadcastNews #FilmBuff #Cinema #HollywoodComeback #IndieFilm #ComedyDrama

85-year-old writer/director James L. Brooks returns with the political dramedy Ella McCay (2025). This movie bombed so hard that it was yanked from theaters before we could see it there, but we vowed to catch it on VOD, and we did! The film features an ensemble cast with Emma Mackey as Ella McCay, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Spike Fearn, Julie Kavner, Rebecca Hall, Albert Brooks, and Woody Harrelson. We dive deep into the world of Ella McCay in this episode, analyzing a mind-boggling script and so much more!

This episode originally aired August 13, 2024 When I first met Kumail Nanjiani, we were on set on the X-Files, chasing down the shape-shifting Were-Monster. Since then, I’ve seen Kumail undergo his own transformation — into a leading man and big-screen superhero, playing memorable characters with depth, heart and humor. Only, he doesn’t always see it that way. We chat about his love of the X-Files and how he’s recently found new ways of approaching his life, relationship and career with more presence and joy, rather than stressing about the outcome.

Kumail and Dax talk about the benefit of going towards what we perceive to be our limits, why the gym is the only place many men feel comfortable being physically intimate with one another, and wrestling with if he contributes to the discourse around men's bodies that affected him as a kid. Kumail explains why learning to like himself has been more important than anything else, his belief that taking yourself too seriously is the death of comedy, and how long it took him to realize how sensitive he is.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

A dozen years removed from his debut stand-up special, Beta Male on Comedy Central, Kumail Nanjiani's fans can finally see him in a new hour, …

There's nothing but laughs in our Funny Stuff compilations of classic RISK! stories on the lighter side. This week, Kumail Nanjiani and Alecia Altstaetter share about penile injuries and barf boats. 

The holidays may be over, but The Grave Plot boys are still rockin’ around the Christmas tree! We're back with one last stocking-stuffer of an episode, packed to the brim with Horror Business and just enough yuletide rot to make your tinsel curl. This week's news sack includes a truly unsettling Real World Horror story about orcas apparently deciding that boats are chew toys, a massive Dracula-themed mega-park rising from the dead outside Bucharest, Netflix sinking its fangs into a true-crime classic, Kumail Nanjiani stepping behind the camera for a new genre project, and Full Moon unleashing a whole crypt full of gloriously unhinged new productions. We also unwrap news on the grindhouse sequel Shiver Me Timbers 2, because nothing says “seasonal cheer” like cartoon icons on a chainsaw-fueled rampage. Oh and what’s that? That shiny box hidden behind the tree? Well it’s two festive film reviews! We take on the infamous cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, followed by a look at the brand-new Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025)—because if you're going to keep the spirit of Christmas alive, you might as well do it with murder. So pour some spiked eggnog, kick back in your ugly sweater, and join us for one last holiday hangover with The Grave Plot Podcast. The tree may be coming down… but the horror never does.  

Spencer and Lee begin what looks to be a season long battle about the quality of season 2 of Amazon Prime's "Fallout." Weirdly enough, the first battle line seems to be drawn over Macaulay Culkin. Oh, and Lee plays right into a Kumail Nanjiani standup joke... Good times all around.Let us know what you think! facebook.com/mangumtalks or mangumtalkspodcasts@gmail.com

Most men don't think a standup comedy special could change how they see therapy. I didn't either… until this one. In this episode, I break down why "Night Thoughts" by Kumail Nanjiani quietly flips the script on masculinity, mental health, and what strength actually looks like. As someone who worked closely with Kumail for years and now creates content around men's mental health, this special hit at the exact intersection of my life. I talk about why so many men believe they "don't have feelings," how gym-bro culture often replaces emotional awareness with shame, and why seeing a successful, fit, confident man talk openly about therapy matters more than another motivational speech ever could. This isn't about fixing men. It's about showing what healthy masculinity already looks like. If you've ever thought therapy was "for other people," this video might change how you see it.
