Aya Vs. The Big Boys

THE COMEDY (feat. Jackie Quinn)

Episode Summary

To celebrate the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, Aya and Kevin are joined by comedy writer Jackie Quinn to tackle one of the fest's most notorious, Rick Alverson's THE COMEDY (2012).

Episode Notes

Sundance 2021 is dominating their lives, so, yes,  Aya and Kevin are fashionably late with a look back on one of the most fabled Sundance premieres in recent memory, Rick Alverson's THE COMEDY, one of the most booed and walked-out-of movies in the event's history.

Joined by Jackie Quinn,  the team discusses anti-comedy & disillusionment in the 2010s, how much it sucks that Lena Dunham made a great TV show, and sweet Park City memories from Sundances' pasts.
