podcast #16: Toby Huss
The super talented Toby Huss is modest. Don't let him fool you. From his time as Artie the Strongest Man in the World in "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" to all his voice work for Mike Judge, he's made a lot of people laugh. He also has a great live Variety Show in Los Angeles as the singing character Rudy Casoni, and a Funny or Die series as Brad Logan. We talk about all that and then Huss gets deep about humanity as we talk about his photography and his role as the fascinating Clyde Sukeforth in the new Jackie Robinson film "42."

podcast #15: Jeff Krulik
We go deep, deep into Jeff Krulik’s mind. If you’ve barely
heard of him, you know HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT (1986), an incredible time
capsule of Judas Priest fans waiting to see a show. If you’ve pushed below the surface, you might know him
capturing unusual celebrity personalities like Freddie Blassie or Ernest
Borgnine. Keep descending and you’ll get to his great portraits of interesting
outsiders. We go to the bottom of his mind where the monsters live and talk
about his new project LED ZEPPELIN PLAYED HERE. Regardless of which Krulik
films you’ve seen, you’ve got to spend some time at his YouTube page and his
website.

Podcast #14: Tales from the A.D.
Ross Novie has been an A.D. (Assistant Director) for almost two decades now, known as the “go-to TV comedy A.D.” or “if you want to film in Africa talk to him.” He worked on Arrested Development, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and more shows and movies with a bunch of people you’ve heard of. He’s destroyed things, cued a volcano and keeps the air conditioning on. He has made a ton of short films too, plus he directed, co-wrote and produced a show called Secret Girlfriend on Comedy Central. We talk about what he does, fame, and try to see if he has any dirt on people so we could bleep out names.

podcast #13: Rick Alverson
Rick Alverson’s new film THE COMEDY is not necessarily a comedy. Depending on your limits for satire, many scenes will make you laugh while you might be cringing or even angry at other scenes. As we follow 30-something Swanson (Tim Heidecker) in his privileged yet aimless leisurely days, the ante gets upped when he stands to inherit his Father’s estate. Forced with the first major change in life, he and his friends (among them Eric Wareheim, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and comedian Gregg Turkington a.k.a. Neil Hamburger) strive for connection and an understanding of the world – not by hip, gleeful emoting but through testing the limits of society and common taste with possible punishment at every turn. It’s a strong, timely film. Cinemad talks with Alverson about making the film and testing audiences for the right reasons.
THE COMEDY is available now on VOD and opening in theaters
starting Nov 9, slowly rolling out across the country.
