When it comes to character comedy, Sacha Baron Cohen stands tall, both literally and figuratively, above so many others for his daring and commitment as Borat and Ali G in service of comedy and satire. Eric Idle remains a living legend as part of one of the most lauded comedy troupes of all time, Monty Python.

You’d very likely pay good money to see either of them do a Q&A, virtually or in-person. Lucky for you, American Cinematheque is hosting a special virtual conversation between Cohen and Idle this month where the two will dive into their work. Truly, it ought to be illuminating to see both just as themselves talking shop.

This virtual conversation is set for Wed. Feb. 17th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets for livestream access are FREE, but be sure to RSVP here.

It would seem that comedy only gets a movie or two that’ll be in serious contention for awards season and, for this coming round of awards, it would seem that Mads Mikkelsen-led Danish dramedy Another Round from Thomas Vinterberg. There’s plenty of acclaim that the it has gotten, which is especially impressive during 2020’s vast wasteland of new movie releases.

The film follows the slippery-slope experiment of seeing if increasing amounts of alcohol-intake would invigorate their daily lives. See what lovely chaos that brings in this trailer.

American Cinematheque is hosting both an exclusive panel discussion with director Thomas Vinterberg and Mikkelsen on this Sun. Jan. 17th at 11AM PT/2PM ET. That’s free to attend as well as screener access, thanks to American Cinematheque, to the film itself (you’ll have to request it by Wed. Jan. 13th, FYI).
