1:20:40 - 1:34:18 - e-mails, montage

Our buddy Palma joins us on the reunion tour this week to talk about a couple of comedy films that bring theater to life via the power of cinema. first, we talk about Olsen and Johnson's ahead-of-its-time clusterfuck comedy Hellzapoppin. Then, on a jam-packed Malcolm in the Middle (34:18) we talk about John Ford, Looney Tunes, Bringing Out The Dead, some play-at-home double features and more. Then, finally, we reach the pinnacle of the stand-up comedy film thanks to our old friend Spike Lee (48:55) with The Original Kings of Comedy. we talk about the context of Spike Lee's nonfiction filmography, the formal innovations, the Steve Harvey DJ Set, and the G.O.A.T, Bernie Mac. stay tuned past that for some fun email and music/clip montage fun.
