If you missed our movie’s premiere NYC screenings, guess what? You have one more chance to see it live, in the theatre, and laugh your head off with a bunch of other comedy fans. And believe me, laugh you will! I have been to the previous screenings, and laughing is what audiences do when they see this peach of a movie.

But you don’t have to take my  Check out what extremely nice guy Dan Gurewitch said about the movie:

It takes a clever hook (the members of a comedy group each write 15 pages of a feature film, only privy to the previous writer’s last 5 pages, and the movie intercuts between the resulting hodgepodge film and interviews with the writers), and spins it into a hilarious, touching look at the trials and tribulations of friendship, creativity and collaboration. It’s funny on a ton of levels, from immediate to super-meta.

But more than that, it perfectly and genuinely explores the process of working creatively with friends when you’re young and your intense passion is rivaled only by your relative inexperience. It made me nostalgic for the years I spent in my college improv group, bonding with best friends and engaging in hyper-opinionated disagreements without a clear leader or direction, but with boundless enthusiasm.

It’s a real feat of creative editing, charming and engaging. You’ll love it, especially if you’ve ever made stuff with friends. Congrats to everyone involved, and everyone else, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Listen to Dan Gurewitch! See the Exquisite Corpse Project live tomorrow night at UCBeast at 7:30PM, or download and stream it for just $5, any old time you’d like!

EPISODE 105: JIM & JEANIE GAFFIGAN

This week, Sara and Nikki relive their surreal evening spent amongst random celebrities and teenage screams.  Comedy power couple Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan (Comedy Central, Twitter & Twitter) make their triumphant return to the podcast and speculate about the pitfalls of Taylor-level fame.  Jim’s new book, Dad is Fat, drops next week, but you should preorder a copy now just in case.  Written with Jeannie and inspired by their five kids, the book is an astonishingly hilarious and oppressively addicting collection of essays on fatherhood.  For the rest of the hour, the gang discusses collaborating with a writing partner, treating stand-up as therapy, and a rare definition of the word “galley”.

Hey, remember a while back when Nikki recorded a special up in Boston?  Well that set premieres this Friday May 3rd at 12 midnight/11c, kicking off Comedy Central’s new season of The Half Hour.  Read this now, watch that then.

In this week’s episode, Matt Fisher (The Law Firm), Diana Kolsky (Menage à Trois), & Tim Martin (Airwolf) join Abra to create a world where Bert eats dead people, Mrs. Gianelli travels by drain, & the Spice Girls celebrate your bush.

The Spice Girls scene is one of my all time favorites from the podcast.

I would like Diana, Tim, Matt, and I to be in a pop group together forever.

I just saw a screening of the comedy group Olde English’s film The Exquisite Corpse Project. I loved it, and I really recommend watching it for $5 on Splitsider. (And not just because I like the people involved, especially my friend and fellow CH tomfooler Adam Conover).

It takes a clever hook (the members of a comedy group each write 15 pages of a feature film, only privy to the previous writer’s last 5 pages, and the movie intercuts between the resulting hodgepodge film and interviews with the writers), and spins it into a hilarious, touching look at the trials and tribulations of friendship, creativity and collaboration. It’s funny on a ton of levels, from immediate to super-meta.

But more than that, it perfectly and genuinely explores the process of working creatively with friends when you’re young and your intense passion is rivaled only by your relative inexperience.
