Скачать или смотреть Tim Heidecker & Rick Alverson on "The Comedy" | Awkward Dark Comedy Interview Chaim Lazaros on WKCR

It starts off awkward and doesn't get any better...

Tim Heidecker (of "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!") and director Rick Alverson dive deep into their provocative and critically polarizing film The Comedy in this interview on WKCR with host Chaim Lazaros.

This conversation explores the film's challenging deconstruction of hipster irony, privilege, and the boundaries of humor itself. Heidecker and Alverson discuss their collaborative process, the intentions behind the film's uncomfortable atmosphere, and its reception as a work of "anti-comedy." They delve into the art of making an unlikable character compelling and the film's commentary on modern masculinity and nihilism.

A fascinating listen for fans of alternative comedy, independent film, and anyone interested in art that challenges and provokes its audience.
