On The Funny

On Cinema is back and so is On The Funny! We have united once again to talk about the Summer Movie Recap, Breach Of Trust and the Our Cinema Movie Birthdays. We will be covering every episode of the upcoming 14th season of OCATC, so stay tuned!

We've arrived at a good natured impasse on the direction of the show and decided to share our conversation about it. Thanks so much to all our listeners and we'll see you again when On Cinema returns!

We quickly dive back into On Cinema waters to discuss the delightful Animated Adventures of Jack Decker and also discuss the non animated comedic writings of Geoffrey Chaucer and François Rabelais.

Oscar winning film composer Michael Giacchino joins us to talk about composing for comedy and the genius of Laurel & Hardy

We are delighted to have Writer/Director Vera Drew on the show to talk about The People's Joker, directing On Cinema At The Cinema and the transgressive beauty of the films of John Waters!

Legendary writer/director Shane Black joins us to talk about the difficulties of making bitterwsweet comedy and how growing old might be the cruelest joke of all.

We've reached the end of the tale of Job and reflect on what it means that this piece of hilarious satire has remained in the Bible for so long and how we can use it's lessons to move beyond God and start caring for each other.

Our examination of the Book of Job as a work of satire continues! Elihu, the annoying teenager at a cocktail party, shows up and holds forth until God arrives in a whirlwind and throws the greatest temper tantrum the world has ever seen.

This week we continue our comedic dissection of the Book of Job and focus on the three "comforters" who win the grand prize for the worst friends of all time.

For years we have talked about how the Book of Job is a staggering piece of satire and the first work of dark, comedic literature. Join us for the first of our multi episode examination of the greatest comedic character of all time: The Old Testament God.
