In this episode, we speak with Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer of the new documentary, "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story". This documents behind-the-scenes of the hilarious “The George Lucas Talk Show” which you can see live or on YouTube. Both the documentary and talk show pay tribute to George Lucas by answering this question: what would George Lucas be like as a talk show host? “The George Lucas Talk Show” has hosted guests such as Weird Al, Ahmed Best, and Whoopi Goldberg. What would these people say to George Lucas?    Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer and talent booker, shares some great stories on both the documentary and talk show. He also helped create “The Naboo Movie: All-Star Live Reading of The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary” and we just had to get some behind-the-scenes stories of that as well! It is always great speaking with someone who has just as much love and respect for George and the Star Wars Saga. "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story" is available now on VOD.   About the Documentary: “I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story”   For five years, comedian Connor Ratliff has performed as retired filmmaker George Lucas in his monthly UCB NY cult comedy show, "The George Lucas Talk Show". Co-hosted by actor Griffin Newman and featuring A-list guests booked by producer Patrick Cotnoir, the show allows Connor to both exalt and poke fun at the vast world of Lucas, including Star Wars. However, Connor begins to question if the show should continue due to its ongoing stress with little financial and career gain. By following the live performances and behind the scenes for one year, the mysteries of Connor's inner self are explored in this portrait of an artist, and his own feelings on his history, value, and legacy are revealed.   Show Links   Watch the documentary and learn more   The George Lucas Talk Show with Jerome Blake   The Naboo Movie: 25th Anniversary of The Phantom Menace   The George Lucas Talk Show instagram   Patrick Cotnoir instagram   SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

LOL-eros! This is a very special episode of Latinos Out Loud, recorded at WBCR, the CUNY Brooklyn College radio station, and it was produced by some of the students of @RachelLaLoca's Advanced Radio and Podcasting class! Shout out to them (they just got closer to getting an A in the class LOL)! On this episode, Rachel connected virtually with Co-creator, Writer, Co-Executive Producer and Co-star of the hit NBC comedy series “Lopez vs. Lopez, Mayan Lopez! The two Latinas chatted about their improv and sketch comedy training, Mayan being an alum of Second City Chicago and Rachel being an alum of UCB NY, and the representation (or lack thereof :/) of Latinas in that field of comedy training, as well as how that training is utilized in Mayan's performances on set. She also shared what it's like to work with her father, the iconic, George Lopez on this, the second season of the HILARIOUS TV show. Rachel was lucky enough to see a live taping of the show while out in LA a few weeks back, and recounts the incredible wit and flawlessness in watching the Lopez Vs. Lopez action LIVE. Mayan is killing it right now, having just served as a guest judge on Rupaul's Drag Race! ABOUT LOPEZ VS LOPEZ Once-estranged father and daughter George and Mayan navigate dysfunction, reconnection, and all the headaches and joy in between as they make up for lost time like only they can. With George back in the picture, he can always be counted on to provide Mayan with some unconventional parenting advice about her son Chance — while saving a few lighthearted barbs for her boyfriend, Quinten, for good measure. Then there's George's ex-wife, Rosie, who hasn't quite forgiven him. In the end, the Lopez clan gets by with a little drama, a lot of love, and a lifetime of laughter. The cast includes George Lopez, Mayan Lopez, Selenis Leyva (former guest of LOL! [ep. 393, link below] ), Matt Shively, Brice Gonzalez and Al Madrigal (former guest of LOL [ep. #270, link below]. ep 393 Selenis Leyva OUT LOUD https://pod.link/1330248548/episode/10adb102232f3b61dd48fd8b486b4326 ep 270 Al Madrigal Talks About Morbius  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latinos-out-loud/id1330248548?i=1000556217019 Follow Mayan @mayanlopez Follow Rachel @RachelLaLoca Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedian, actor, writer, producer and proud New Jerseyite, Chris Gethard is known for his self-examining vulnerability in comedy, and he brings that same unflinching truth to his talk with Brian about his long standing widow's peak and his "weird body... even by New Jersey standards." The pair discuss career victories and failures and how hard it is to be objective about accomplishments when your survival is tied to your creative life. Chris shares about how feeling he had to keep up with folks he felt were far funnier than he, which led to him finding his voice. There is some inevitable UCB NY reminisce between the pair who were on 3 different improv groups together. And Brian gives a heartfelt apology for a relentless gaslighting bit against Chris, that while cruel and potentially soul crushing, was actually pretty funny. __ Show Information Twitter: @baldtalkpodcast Instagram: @baldtalkpod Email: baldtalkpod@gmail.com Brian Huskey Twitter: @thebrianhuskey Instagram: @thebrianhuskey Charlie Sanders Instagram: @charliesanders

From taking classes to auditioning way too many times just to get onstage and then finally to be teaching in the conservatory, Morgan spent a lot of years at the NYC theater of Upright Citizens Brigade. We talked about it ending and how hard that can be when your community crumbles. I commiserated obviously. And then he told me what it was like to go viral on TikTok in your mid forties.

Actor/TV Host Rob Riggle (SNL, The Daily Show, Holey Moley) had his head shaved as a US Marine, but he still identifies as haired. In an episode barely based in reality, Brian and Charlie reveal to Rob he has been slipped an ointment that will cause baldness, that his business manager is now Del "Magic Fingers" Dupree, and that Bald Talk's biggest audience are those 'tweens who love "chippin." All three remember the days at UCB NY, back when Brian had a wine vault and paid rent on an apartment so he could have a bathroom near the theater. And Rob says something about acting.

College Humor Star & Dropout’s Fantasy High Dungeon Master is here with us! ***This is a Braveheart first 20 minutes / 1 Spoiler Only Episode*** We’re interviewing one of our favorite comedians, podcasters, youtubers, and we can confirm now, one of our favorite people in the world. So please enjoy Brennan’s story & don’t worry about the early Act I story of 1994’s Best Picture Winner, Braveheart, which is probably over-rated anyway. Intro - Top of Show Our Interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan: Brennan as a Performer - 2:32 Upbringing + The Wayfinder Experience - 6:12 First Exposure to Writing - 12:48 The MCU, The Academy, and “Super Gods” - 18:22 Comedy Wasn’t the Primary + His Top 3 Movies - 27:00 The Road to UCB NY - 33:12 (and When He Knew He Could Comedy - 39:07) Getting to and Being at College Humor - 47:58 (and the CH Sketch Writing Process - 51:33) Dimension 20, Fantasy High, and CH’s Dropout Work - 53:53 (The Interplays of Being a Dungeon Master - 57:57) Where is the BLM Train Headed - 1:06:03 The Single Greatest Story Ever Told - 1:08:10 And Oh Yea, He Was On Millionaire Too - 1:11:36 Brennan Pitches Us THE WORST MOVIE EVER - 1:16:02 Outro/Social Media/Words of Wisdom - 1:19:11 The Mikes have been fans of College Humor & Brennan Lee Mulligan for years. We cited his Moviepass CEO sketch back when we did that saga episode on the subscription service. Our MMO Weekly “What We’re Watching” segments have often featured reviews of his show - Fantasy High on Dimension 20, College Humor’s Dropout streaming service on youtube. For fans of our show, know that we swear by this comedian, actor, writer, satirist, & podcaster, who just so happens to be one of the nicest & coolest people going. So please enjoy and share this episode with your friends. We had an absolute blast. Brennan’s success story is as inspiring & encouraging as they come. From Bartender to the Upright Citizens Brigade, from Law & Order to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and from NYC bachelor pads to LA writers rooms - he shares an incredible journey of years & years & years of work that eventually made him an overnight hit. As a film school grad, Brennan also drops a ton of knowledge about the movie world. We chat about storytelling & Star Wars, the movie industry in the age of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Oscars and the recent selections of the Academy, and he dishes out some hot takes on Braveheart. We of course, beg him to host the Oscars and for more crazy stories from his improv days, early film scripts, how he moved to LA, and brought his enduring love of D&D from his childhood into the studios of Los Angeles with his new show on College Humor. He gives us everything we want & more. Our Oscar Race coverage continues on Monday with another episode of MMO Weekly as we’ll be recapping & reacting to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. We’ll finish up our movie reviews of all of the nominees with Cold War, Can You Ever Forgive Me, and At Eternity’s Gate in our Oscar Sprint Profile Series. Then after we covered all the Best Original Songs of the year, we’ll complete our category reviews before they roll out the Academy red carpet. But before you tune in with us on any of that, do make sure you subscribe to Dropout on College Humor and Youtube.

Actor/comedian Jason Mantzoukas comes on our show to talk about IMPROV. Are we breaking the rules of our show not discussing a person's career? We are, and we don't care. Because we love talking about improv. We go deep. What's good about it? How do the various shows that Jason regularly plays in work? What's the best opening? How did The Sleepover (an improv show from UCB-NY in the early 2000s) work? What was Amy P. like as a teacher? ALL THIS AND MORE. We loved this talk so much we let it go way long. AN HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES, geez louise. But you improv nerds are gonna love it. Everyone else: see you next episode! Plus Will talks about the Magic Eraser and Anthony talks about seeing a punter who tried to be a hero and failed immediately.
