#177 The Comedy (2012)

Rick Alverson's 2012 mumblecore-adjacent entitlement non-drama, THE COMEDY, is our feature presentation this week. Special guest E. Deines of American independent record label, Jagjaguwar, joins us to discuss his love and association with the film. We discuss Tim Heidecker in the leading role, if the film is one big inside joke, the 20 page treatment in lieu of a screenplay, how an independent record label got behind the indie film, and much more! We also pick our TOP 7 MOVIES OF 2012 in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7! Join our Patreon ($2.99/month) here patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern to watch the episodes LIVE in video form day/weeks early.
