We talked to Jamie DeWolf about Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. Jamie is not only a story-teller, producer, director, writer, actor and impresario he is also the great-grandson of L. Ron Hubbard. We get into Scientology, family, creativity, derangement of the mind , and so much more!

Sup Doc Podcast presents its debut live show recorded at Lost Weekend Video. Bay Area comedians Paco Romane and George Chen invite a SF Mayoral candidate, a comedian and a Mission business owner/musician to discuss Alexandra Pelosi’s HBO documentary “San Francisco 2.0″ about the changing nature of San Francisco and gentrification.

Our guests are:

Comedian and SF native Kaseem Bentley

SF Mayoral candidate Amy Farah Weiss

Jawbreaker drummer / co-owner of Lost Weekend Video Adam Pfahler

Recorded Oct 18th, 2015 at Lost Weekend Video. Produced by Will Scovill.

In SAN FRANCISCO 2.0, Alexandra Pelosi (HBO’s Emmy®-winning “Journeys with George”) returns to her hometown to document what the tech boom has in store for this historically progressive city, talking to various industry representatives, politicians and longtime residents hoping to maintain their place and not be left behind. Directed, produced and filmed by Pelosi, this insightful film looks at the price of progress, and the challenges of holding onto a collective past. Alexandra Pelosi has always been proud of San Francisco, in particular its “long tradition of embracing nonconformity.” She sets out to explore how the arrival of innovators – the so-called “IT invasion” – is reshaping its iconic neighborhoods and forging a tech paradise in the City by the Bay. Pelosi talks to a range of subjects, from ambitious trendsetters bringing an unprecedented wave of wealth, to the entrenched communities of artists and immigrants who are hoping to hold onto the place they call home. Pelosi interviews a wide array of insiders, including: Gov. Jerry Brown; Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom; San Francisco mayor Ed Lee; former San Francisco mayors Willie Brown and Art Agnos; tech-industry notables Michael Birch (Monkey Inferno), Andrew Houston (Dropbox), Ron Conway (SV Angel) and Sean Gourley (Quid.com); economist Robert Reich; journalists David Talbot and Gary Kayima (Salon); and lifelong residents and small-business owners who have to face an increasingly unaffordable real estate market.

Paco Romane and George Chen welcome comedians Anna Seregina and Dave Ross (Terrified podcast) to the Sup Doc living room. They discuss the much hyped documentary The Wolfpack (2015, Crystal Moselle).

The Wolfpack is a documentary film about a family who homeschooled and raised their seven children in the confinement of their apartment in the Lower East Side of New York City. Locked away in an apartment in the Lower East Side of Manhattan for fourteen years, the Angulo family's seven children—six brothers named Mukunda, Narayana, Govinda, Bhagavan, Krisna (Glenn), and Jagadesh (Eddie), and their sister Visnu—learned about the world through watching films. They also re-enact scenes from their favorite movies. They were homeschooled by their mother and confined to their 16th-storey four-bedroom apartment in the Seward Park Extension housing project. In January 2010, against their father's instruction to remain inside. All the brothers then decided to begin exploring Manhattan and the world outside.

Dave Ross is a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles. Sometimes his comedy is vulnerable and personal. Other times his comedy is loud, stupid and about butts. You can find him stumbling around L.A. and the country, performing at every festival, club, theater, bar, fire hall or bombed-out stone building that will have him. He's in a sketch group called WOMEN that makes sketches for Comedy Central and IFC's Comedy Crib. He won a MOTH Grand Slam, he got interviewed on WTF with Marc Maron, and he told a story on Comedy Central's Drunk History. He likes his cat. His cat's dope.

Anna Seregina is a stand-up comic and performer, described as having the “worst aura.” She was named a “Comic to Watch” by the SF Weekly. She produces the Los Angeles branch of the long-running SF show “the Business.” She has appeared in comedy festivals (RIOT LA, SF Sketchfest, Bridgetown, Sacramento, Crom, SF Comedy Day, SF Comedy & Burrito), hosted music festivals (Panache’s Bruise Cruise, Phono del Sol), told stories at storytelling events (the Moth, Porchlight), and done weird things publicly (SF MoMA, Artists’ Television Access, SFAI, Public Access TV). She starred in Joey Izzo’s “Stepsister,” which screened at Cannes, San Francisco International, and Traverse City film festivals in 2013. Most facts about her are true. Most truths about her are facts.

On Episode 12 of Sup Doc Paco and George discuss the 2008 documentary I Think We're Alone Now with comedian and writer Sara June. We talk about this compelling documentary as well as stalking, memes, relationships and the power of obsession and celebrity.

Filmmaker Sean Donnelly randomly met Jeff Turner on the street in Santa Cruz California. Sean found out that Jeff was a Tiffany fan, and had gotten in trouble for stalking her. Sean told Jeff that he can spiritually communicate with Tiffany through a device that he invented. For those that don't know, Tiffany is a pop singer that found fame in the 1980's with her hit song "I Think We're Alone Now". Sean then met Kelly McCormick, a very intense and emotional intersex (hermaphrodite is the old-fashioned term) person who was also obsessed with Tiffany, who became obsessed after a prophetic vision of the singer in a coma, thinks she and Tiffany are destined to be together. I Think We're Alone Now is a funny and sad look at fandom, stalking, and obsession.

Sara June is an Austin/LA comedian and California native. Online, she's best known for creating the 2011 viral video “Nyan Cat”. Offline, she's best known for being racially ambiguous and forcing live comedy on dive bar patrons. She also makes surreal sketch videos with her group Slobs that have screened at festivals like Hell Yes Fest, Seattle Sketchfest and Los Angeles Film Festival.
