It’s Father’s Day and while that’s a celebration of many dads and what they’ve done for their children, for others, it’s less like that.

It’s something more like this sketch with Jonah Ray trying to not get too personal about Father’s Day facts.

So, on that note, Happy Father’s Day!

And Here’s That Obama Episode of WTF with Marc Maron

June 22, 2015
Uncategorized
dick gregory, marc maron, podcasting, president barack obama, richard pyror, wtf

It’s podcasting history right here.

Last Friday, President Barack Obama indeed came to Marc Maron’s garage, albeit a super safe version of Marc’s garage that was covered in pop up tents and a Secret Service detail to do an episode of WTF.

They chatted for just over around an hour in a conversation that, because it is podcasting and of the noted way that Maron conducts interviews, is more intimate and free flowing probably any interview that Obama has had. Thus, you get to go from talking about the tragedy in Charleston last week all the way to talking about Pryor and Dick Gregory.

Listen to this milestone for both podcasting and WTF with Marc Maron here.

The Orchard Gets The Rights to Distribution Aside From Netflix For Seven Movies From The Duplass Brothers

(via Deadline)

Once more, there is proof of the indie empire, whether they’re aware of it or not, that Mark and Jay Duplass show are building.

The Duplass Brothers already have a four picture deal at Netflix and an overall deal at HBO. Why not get worldwide theatrical and non-online streaming distribution for seven of their movies?

The Orchard already will be releasing their swingers comedy The Overnight and will now take on six other movies from Mark and Jay to release theatrically as well as through any other media that isn’t Netflix/online streaming. 

At this rate, we wouldn’t be surprised if Mark and Jay start a full fledged studio in the not so distant future.

Sony Pictures is really getting into the Paulilu business.

Already, Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello are developing a female spin-off of 21 Jump Street. Now, Downs is set to star in a new R-rated comedy directed by Aniello that they wrote together.

James Adomian wants to prove beyond 100% of at least 70% of a doubt that 73 year old U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, currently running for President, is not a boring guy and completely deserves the votes of 30% of the younger demographic that’s 85% outside his current constituency.

Before any competitive team effort, it’s not uncommon for teammates to get each other riled up and rowdy before heading out. Sometimes, that can lead to screaming and other times it can straight-up hitting each other.

Key & Peele show what happens when that might go a bit too far.
