Submit ReviewCanadian podcaster Corey Pierce joins me to deconstruct the art of comedy by not only focusing on the films of director David Wain, but by going down a list of our favorite lowbrow comedies. We digress a bit here and there, but overall, I just wanted to do an entire episode devoted to the comedy genre and "state" my case for why WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER is my favorite comedy. Other hot topics include metal music, Tim & Eric, the recent Netflix prequel of WET HOT, and a whole lot more. Surprisingly, I think neither of us said the phrase "Comedy is subjective" once! It's a miracle!00:00 - 29:10 - Introduction / Wes Craven / Metal Music29:11 - 44:54 - Top Ten Favorite Lowbrow Comedies44:55 - 45:25 - Director Song45:26 - 01:17:54 - Wet Hot American Summer01:17:55 - 01:19:13 - Brief Filmspotting Appearance 01:19:14 - 01:52:32 - The Rest Of Wain's Films01:52:33 - 02:05:52 - OutroJoin me in two weeks when guest and friend Bill Ackerman returns to talk about the controversial Paul Schrader.
