Season 4 is officially underway, and we’re kicking things off with COMEDIES—starting with the gloriously unhinged cult classic MacGruber. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the over-the-top action parody that somehow turns explosions, celery, and bad decisions into comedy gold. We talk Will Forte’s fearless commitment, the movie’s absurd humor, why it bombed before becoming a fan favorite, and how MacGruber sets the tone for a season dedicated to laughs.

We also zoom out and talk about comedies today—how the genre has changed, what’s missing, what’s working… and ask the big question: are comedies dead? Or just evolving?

If you love dumb humor done brilliantly—or just really hate Cunth—this one’s for you.
