Neal V. Tolk On Dream Tweet

Posted on: May 9th, 2012 by admin No Comments

Neal Brennan (Co-creator of “Chappelle’s Show”) goes cap to cap with comedian Prescott Tolk. They entered our Dream Tweet Mobile Studios which was in a parking garage in Santa Monica. The players were just in time for the shift change and janitors wheeling really loud trash cans back and forth. It was like the running of the bulls, but loader.

Here’s how the game works, host Jonathan Corbett (“Dream Tweet”) reads three tweets from a celebrity. Two are real and the last one is fake. The contestants have to guess who wrote it. The winner can get up to $25 worth of food from Skooby’s Hot Dogs in Hollywood.

Play along at home.

**NOTE: During the discussion of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant” Josh appears to say that the film “isn’t about anything.” This is a misleading edit. Josh was actually referring to Alan Clarke’s “Elephant,” not the Gus Van Sant film.***

Watch: Gymkata!

Posted on: April 9th, 2012 by admin No Comments

Watch our next film “Gymkata” here for free! (Listen to our review on Wednesday) It’s a Karate – Gymnastic action film. It’s like “Hunger Games” without the budget or interest. This movie was suggested by Glen Weldon from NPR and “Pop Culture Happy Hour.” He didn’t tell me directly about it, but brought it up on his show as a thing that made him happy. This movie made me happy and sad at the same time. Former high school gymnast* and voice of “Ben 10″ joins me to talk about this classic. They (the evil producers) took an Olympic Gymnast and tried to make him into an action star. It’s did not work out that well. The greatest part is that it’s based on a book. A book! someone else had this idea and wrote it out and then someone said, “I will publish this.” Then someone else said, “Let’s make this into a movie and show an overhead shot of the guy’s balls.”
Subscribe to “Proudly Resents” on Stitcher or iTunes and the show will pop up Wednesday.

Bill Burr takes on Alt Comedy. Exposes it, rips it open and shakes it upside down.

He says Alt Comedy rooms take out all the pain and obstacles to being a comic. No hecklers, no drunks, no people who don’t know what you are talking about. Basically, no heart ache. All the bad parts of stand up at removed. So there’s no challenge.

Take a listen. Do you agree?
