Is there anything Nathan Fielder can’t pull off?

What started off as an elaborate Nathan For You prank brought about of Nathan Fielder’s disdain for an outdoor wear company Taiga’s tribute to a Holocaust denier has raised a significant chunk of change for the Vancouver Holocaust Education Center to the tune of $45,000 and counting. 

On top of that, A-listers like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jack Black, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellie Kemper, and more have bought and worn Fielder’s Summit Ice Jacket.

With folks like Nathan Fielder as well as Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and Kurt Braunohler around, one can see just how much good comedy, even at its most absurd, can do in the world.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Hit Record is continuing their crowdsourced experimental form of entertainment, this time with a little help from Ben Schwartz.

Basically, Schwartz and Gordon-Levitt want to make comedy sketches based off of anonymously submitted secrets for Hit Record. In this way, deep, dark secrets could be shared, supposedly, without anyone’s identity or reputation being compromised as well as presented with great comedic embellishment. 

For more details, watch the two give you all the details.

While Lizzy Caplan is exploring her more dramatic side on Showtime‘s Masters of Sex, Caplan will be doing her next comedy project with the trio who worked on the great cancer comedy 50/50, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and director Jonathan Levine.

It’s a comedy set at Christmas time, but there are no details as of yet if it will come to theaters during one Christmas or another in the not so distant future. Luckily, The Interview with Seth Rogen is coming this Christmas and we’ll have that to hold us over.

From School of Rock, Jack Black and writer Mike White are getting together again for HS reunion comedy D-Train and, from 50/50, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and director Jonathan Levine are also coming together for another project a Christmas themed comedy, which will probably be a little grittier than your normal fare based off of 50/50.

Still, both projects from both “reteams” definitely sound enticing to us and, if you haven’t already, you should watch 50/50 and School of Rock. Familiarize yourself and enjoy two solid movies.
