You’ve Never Heard of Alt-Comedy’s Favorite Writer (He Wants It That Way)

Mike Sacks’ bizarre books and podcasts have drawn a cult following among celebrities from Jon Hamm to Bob Odenkirk. And if you don’t know his name, well, that’s entirely his fault.

This movie was very similar to my childhood in Maryland. Except I had no friends and was mostly alone in my room.
