Ep. 65 - Two by Rick Alverson (The Comedy / Entertainment)
Today we welcome back Paul Keelan of CINEMATIC UNDERDOGS to discuss the abrasive, deliberately alienating character studies of Rick Alverson. Alverson works with alt-comedy icons like Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, but his films are anything but normal comedies— whatever you call them, they’re dark, uncomfortable, and follow people you probably don’t want to spend much time with. We’re discussing two of his best-known provocations (don’t let the titles fool you): 2012’s Tim Heidecker-starring THE COMEDY, and 2015’s Neil Hamburger vehicle ENTERTAINMENT.
Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
