This week, I'm excited to be joined by Tig Notaro, comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer.
We dig into her deadpan comedic style, her wild upbringing, what she learned when powerlessness became the teacher, what's fracturing comedy, and lots more.

Now the dust has settled a little, a big thanks to everyone who came to Mayhem this year, especially our fantastic guests. Loved having so many terrific Q&As, and hoping very much to see all these filmmakers back at the festival in the future.

As part of this year's @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social, I got the chance to host a couple of great Q&As for some upcoming movies - GAME, with the cast and crew, and BULK, with director Ben Wheatley and producer Andy Starke. Both low-budget, inventive films well worth looking out for.

Seth Meyers doesn't give two shits what Trumplethinskin thinks of him. He's an actor, comedian, producer, screenwriter, television host, and voice actor. If he's Anti-Trump like millions of us, that makes him even more popular. Go cry in the corner baby-man.

Really enjoyed the bittersweet new doc film John Candy: I Like Me (Amazon Prime), directed by Colin Hanks. I'd previously had no knowledge about his (sometimes sad) life off-screen, but was happy to learn how many people this beloved comedic actor had helped. Just a great human being. More: alt text
