Comedian/long time friend Jane Harrison joined the show talk about Real Time season 2, episode 2. I know this episode is very late, but I have several excuses, all of which vary in quality. What's important is that this episode features the single best panelist the show has had so far, and also God damned David Frum. Fuckin' Canadians, man... This one is a little less focused than normal, right down to multiple people complaining about what an asshole my cat is. Oh, and at one point Jane goes "who's that, he's cute" and she was referring to Tyler Glasnow, not the batting coach like I thought she meant, which in retrospect should've been obvious to me.

Once upon a time, Bill Maher was an "actor/comedian", as opposed to "breaker of new ways to think about stories/comedian", and his first starring role was 1985's Sara, which also stars Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard (which is insane, by the way.) Writer Ella Dawson returns to talk about the show generally, Bill Maher's performance specifically, and then hypothesize what a world where this show was a hit would have looked like.

New year, new Maher (but not actually). Season 2 of Real Time with Bill Maher has begun, at least as far as this podcast is concerned, and I was joined by comedian and journalist Francesca Fiorentini. She gives us some insight on doing panels not unlike the ones they do on Real Time, and then we recap an incomplete Real Time that was incomplete due to my incompetence! Honestly, it feels like we're getting off lucky because Al Sharpton and Ron Silver spent A LOT of time just yelling at each other.

Listen, I'm very sorry to any listeners who are infuriated and/or disappointed by this episode, but like, I gotta be honest with this thing. This week, comedian Adam Christie joins me to give an insider's look into the practical reality of writing a weekly topical late night comedy show, and is obstinate with me in the way that only people who've been friends since they were teenagers can be obstinate with one another. But perhaps that feeling is just my own displeasure at having to admit something I never thought I would. A truly shocking episode of... pod... casting. Oh, and also, please rate and review the podcast on whatever service you personally do that kind of thing on. I'd appreciate it.

Watch out ladies, it's... some incredibly misogynist television that we watched! Kath Barbadoro joined the show to watch Real Time season one, episode nineteen with me, and after I found out she was teaching a stand-up comedy class I was annoying about it and really made at her pick at some of the jokes in this episode. In my defense, they were FUCKIN' BAD. Anyway, it still ended up not being not such a bad time in comparison to some past watches, so make of that what you will.

Comedian Sam Wiles joined the show to talk about whether or not he has, like me, concerns about having your creative works too associated with a guy you hate, then it's on to Real Time, season one, episode 18. It's not the smartest panel in the world, but they make up for it by being.... well, not very smart.
Here's Sam being a man he hates as much as one person can hate another person.

I watched Real Time season 1, episode 17 all on my own, and man oh man, do I ever hate Bill Kristol. Lots of clips in this one; I get into the weeds on the quality and craftsmanship of the monologues jokes. Also, I changed my mind and did not include the clip from the DL Hughley Show, if you really want to you can watch it here.

Man, what a bad panel this was. Comedian Rachele Friedland joins me to, you know, talk Bill Maher. She's a former fan, and I was so exhausted from watching like six hours of Bill Maher content over a few days that I made her psychoanalyze me to find out why I am doing this. The answer? I'm fucked up, dewd. We talked about Real Time season 1 episode 16, and in addition to an awful panel Rachele points out how totally lacking the show's comedy writing is when it comes to actual technique.

Comedian and ~*COMEDY HISTORIAN*~ Mike Bridenstine joins the show, and he's bringing with him a familiarity with Bill Maher that dwarfs probably anybody else who's been on the show. He tells us about the experience of attending a Real Time taping AND the after party afterwards, then we really get into the weeds when it comes to Real time season 1, episode 15. It's pretty fucking racist, and don't worry, he also makes a ton of jokes about rape. Ha ha ha, God damn it!!!

The sound quality on this one is not good because I lost the high quality audio files and was stuck using the Zoom recording. I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, do not understand what could've happened, but such is life. Anyway, this episode of Real time was a real dud, but that's okay (sort of) because our guest wasn't! Writer and comedian Pallavi Gunalan joined me, and she came in firmly on the "I have only seen bits and pieces of Maher but I hated all of it" side of things. A recent interview shows just how completely out of touch Bill Maher is with the city he calls home and supposedly loves is, plus questions, and a mid episode comedy sketch that's so inscrutable I... I just don't know, man. And all this headlined by a Real Time panel that has so little chemistry and flow that it genuinely seems like Bill Maher got annoyed and just ended the episode early. CONTENT WARNING: More fucking Kobe Bryant talk. Good lord, I forgot how obsessed the country was with this story...

There's a special episode of Club Random called "Bill Maher Talks to Kids". If you said that to me out loud, I would expect you to finish by adding "v United States". Anyway, I had some quick thoughts on it (it's really boring, don't bother watching it if you're expecting it to be nuts.)

Well, the content warning doesn't need to be as intense this week, but buddy you'd better believe we still have to talk about Bill Maher's flippant use of rape as a punchline. But who's "we", you ask? Why, it's none other than writer Ella Dawson, who has her own shameful history of teen Maher fandom. There's questions, there's a real time panel from absolute hell (a member of whom is now at least in symbolic hell), there's my ass talking way, way too fucking much... this one really got away from me, I'm trying to keep the run times down, I swear to God.

Oh boy! After a brief hiatus to watch a movie (what, did we have a substitute teacher hahahahahahahahaha *has a coughing fit*) we're back to the recaps, and this week we're joined by comedian and writer Emily Heller (What is...? A Jeopardy Podcast!). She very cleverly finds a way to largely not deal with the deep moral quandaries of the judgement free question zone before we plunge into what is absolutely the cruelest and nastiest episode of the show so far: Real Time season 1, episode 11. Genuinely, a big chunk of Real Time was spent talking about the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case, and they do NOT do it with tact or humanity, but look this is what I signed up for. We manage to still have some fun, especially at the end with a reenactment of an interview Bill Maher did on Larry King, followed by the shocking revelation of what Bill Maher's production company was named. If you really don't want to listen to us talk about the world's worst panel discussion about rape, it starts at 52:39 and ends at 1:15:58. No judgement. Also, sorry the episode is a day late.

Not unlike Bill Maher himself, I took a little break from Real Time to watch the only Bill Maher star vehicle, 1991's Pizza Man. I was joined by Podcaster/Writer/Comedian Caitlin Durante, so there is officially a witness to the absolutely fuckin' BIZARRE tonal shifts and plot developments in this thing. Which parts were meant to be jokes? Why is it so fucking dark? And why is the director so opposed to getting some God damned coverage? Caitlin was so determined to answer some of those questions that she... I can't believe i'm saying this, but she watched it twice. Twice! Honestly, this is almost entirely just a fun episode talking about a crazy movie, so definitely enjoy it because next week has got some DARK shit in it.

Jesus Christ, more fucking Ann Coulter! Filmmaker/Musician/Podcaster Lola Blanc is on the show this week, and we are talking about Real Time Season 1, Episode 10. My expectations for what Horror auteur Clive Barker would be like on one of these shows is shattered, the point of having Ann Coulter on these things is debated, plus we witness perhaps the show's worst explained segment yet, as well as a baffling and disgusting analogy that could only come from the mind of a weird, horny old stand-up comedian (so, like 35% of them).
Here are all of Lola's links, I trust your ability to scroll through them and find what you want.
