On The Funny

Screenwriter (and funniest man Jacob has ever had the pleasure of meeting) Ryan Rowe joins us to talk about cleverness in comedy and why Chris considers clever to be the sworn enemy of The Funny.

In this week's episode we are joined by Greg Brooker to discuss the tragicomedies of Max Jacob, Nathaneal West and Samuel Beckett.

New On Cinema content is here with The VFA Expert Hollywood Tour! We break down Gregg Turkington's own version of the magical mystery tour and also discuss the comedic plays of Aristophanes.

From the Birdman of Lascoux cave painting to the first jokebook of ancient Greece, we discuss the origins of the funny and why we've needed comedy since the dawn of humankind.

We start our second season off right with a great conversation all about Luis Buñuel's L'Age d'Or and Land Without Bread with Director Alex Winter!

We've reached the end of our On Cinema coverage and take a look back at some of our favorite moments.

For our penultimate episode of the season, we were beyond excited to talk all things comedy with On Cinema creator Tim Heidecker!

We were so honored and excited to interview On Cinema director Eric Notarnicola! We had a blast talking about The Trial, The Tenth Oscar Special and the joys of directing in character.

Justin Gaynor, architect of the On Cinema Timeline and The HEI Network website, joins us to talk about the incredible On Cinema fanbase!

We've reached the end of the road of On Cinema At The Cinema with our breakdown of the wonderfully strange and powerful Tenth Oscar Special!
