Episode 74 – Omar Dorsey on Martin Lawrence – Talkin Shit

Omar DorseyYou’ve seen Omar Dorsey on Eastbound and Down, in Django Unchained and you’ll see him on Fox’s upcoming series rake.  He wanted to talk with me about Martin Lawrence’s album “Talkin’ Shit,” because, as Omar sees it, Martin was the first real hip-hop comedian.  We had a great time talking, and we also got to bring up Sheneneh.

Episode 73 – Jack Dolgen on 2000 Years with Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks

jack dolgen

Jack Dolgen has created the music for a ton of music and TV shows you’ve doubtless seen, and he’s also co-writer/co-producer on many of Rachel Bloom’s music.  I wanted to get the other mind behind “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury” to sit down and talk about his influences.  Lucky for me, he picked my heroes.

Episode 71 – Brian Hall on The Simpsons Sing The Blues

Brian Hall

Brian Hall is a co-host of The MovieFilm Podcast and he’s the first to request The Simpsons, in any form.  While “The Simpsons Sing the Blues” isn’t exactly what you’d call their “A Material,” it’s a great snapshot of how this small nothing of a show became popular seemingly overnight, so much so that it had to be capitalized upon with a dance craze and a song co-written by none other than Michael Jackson.

Episode 70 – David Melville on Gerard Hoffnung – Hoffnung at the Oxford Union

MelvilleDavid Melville is the co-founder of LA’s Independent Shakespeare Company.  I interviewed him just before an hilarious performance of As You Like It at this summer’s Griffith Park Festival.  It was a ton of fun, even if the audience got a bit rowdy toward the end.  Also, listen to the end of the episode for a clip of David as Touchstone.

Episode 69 – Jeff Abraham Opens Up the Abraham Comedy Archive

Jeff AbrahamYou might not know his name, but if you’re a comedy record collector, he’s a name to remember.  A man after my own heart, with a love of Hollywood history as rich as his love of rare and interesting Comedy, Jeff Abraham takes me into his comedy record vault and we listen to some doozies.  All local comedians who you’ve likely never heard of, I can only apologize for their lack of polish.  With one special exception at the end, which is neither exclusively local nor unheard of.

Episode 68 – Matt Buchholtz on Bill Cosby – Revenge

BuchholtzMatt Buchholtz was the first person I interviewed for my documentary Lords of Soaptown in 2008.  He’s also hilarious, does a ton of great sketch comedy, and is part of the Crit Juice podcast, which you don’t need to be a D&D person to enjoy thoroughly.  It’s great.  He wanted to talk some more about a Bill Cosby album we haven’t touched on yet.  Smart move.
