April 12, 2021

No matter what type of super hero one may be, the reality of having to be super all the time is taxing, maybe even impossible?

That is more than clear in Jonny Look‘s latest short film, made specifically for the launch of Brain Dead x Reebok’s latest sneaker, that follows Zigman (DeMorge Brown) and his companion (voiced by Randy Liedtke) who will not take even a little bit of a break from being on the job of saving the world, no matter what the “crisis” may be. The balance between nostalgic otherworldly-ness (going back to 90s style Power Rangers) and the grounded minutia of everyday life is that off-beat sort of wonderful you get from Jonny Look.

Give it a watch and enjoy Zigman vs. The Spacecraft here.

Not only is this a marvelous short from The Dress Up Gang (NOTE: TBS continues to keep their show on their shelf even though this is an even better time to put their entire brilliant series out on some sort platform) starring DeMorge Brown that is so playfully strange and offbeat, but it has absolutely nothing to do with COVID-19.

Enjoy 5 minutes and then some of DeMorge being an absolute joy and The Dress Up Gang nailing the weird minutia of daily life with A Day with DeMorge here.

There is an entire brilliantly funny season of a Dress Up Gang TV series that has yet to be seen and one can only hope that one day the general public will get to revel in how it’s potentially even more “about nothing” than Seinfeld.

DeMorge Brown is a treasure in case you didn’t know (just see this Fruit Bats music video that made our top 100 list last year). The way he inhabits any character he plays is pretty revelatory and always funny in the best, most unexpected ways possible.

Such is the case, yet again, with this latest piece where he takes the stage as a celebrated, yet enraged poet Ephraim Elizabeth King.

So, without further adieu, please watch and delight in this performance here.

In anticipation of a new song from folk rockers The Fruit Bats, a “documentary” short film that takes a behind-the-scenes look into the making of their single “Getting in a Van Again” was made by slick director Jonny Look.

Please, please, please enjoy it without any further explanation that might ruin any of the magic that lies ahead here.

It’s often said of Miles Davis that he changed jazz many times. Along with his trailblazing artistry, Davis was often just as challenging off stage as he was on stage.

A particular interview ~~dreamed up and starring~~ found by DeMorge Brown from a Swiss jazz program known as “Der Plattenteller Mit Jürgen Zeit” shows how much of an iconoclast Miles Davis could be.

Watch the very far out interview here.

Really, it’s almost inexplicable that Donald Trump keeps winning in the primary election.

Esteemed film critic Elvis Mitchell has made a name for himself for years through his insights on cinema at NPR and KCRW. With that, his voice, look, and persona capture a certain spirit of dry, high brow film theory discussions.

For Channel 101, DeMorge Brown sent up Elvis Mitchell in a faux interview series called ScreenShots with Elvis Mitchell that is, well, what it’d be like you were watching an Elvis Mitchell interview while tripping on acid.

Even if you’re not familiar with Mitchell or Channel 101, you can agree that more one-on-one interviews should be as otherworldly as they are here.

More festival line-up announcements need to go like this.

In a similar fashion to SF Sketchfest’s line-up announcement video, The Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival had fun playing with the idea of announcing the line-up as a mother played by Lauren Lapkus would tell you what’s going to be on the dinner table or other weirdly out-of-place scenes with the likes of Dave Theune and Demorge Brown to be discussing what acts will be playing a giants arts and music festival.

Watch the announcement video here. Then, you can get more details on Outside Lands, which runs from Aug. 7-9, here.
