Kevin Pollak‘s latest movie is a documentary that questions whether pain is necessary to create the kind of comedy that resonates. Misery Loves Comedy sees an enormous amount of professional funny people explaining their experiences, and Pollak joins us this week to discuss the myth of the tortured artist and what he learned crafting 700 hours of footage into a 90-minute movie.
Plus, Geoff and I will dissect a serious scene from a comedy — specifically the To The Pain speech from The Princess Bride — in order to see how one cup of dirt and three cups of sugar can create meaningful dramatic moments in a movie that makes you laugh.
Double plus, we’ll have a spoiler-free interrogation reviewification of Avengers: Age of Ultron that sends us to the corner store for ear plugs.
