“What’s the Bratz of the 2020’s?” we asked ourselves, chasing that ultimate Bratz high. “Could it be Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie?” While perhaps not reaching those lofty heights, this was nearly as bonkos as reviews suggested it would be — a psychedelic fantasia filtered through a combination Hello Kitty/candy store. The movie was not meant for us, but we had a fun time talking about it.

Stuart leads a discussion of stand-up comedy in the movies, with the help of our special guest: acclaimed comic and longtime pal, Matt Koff.

On this episode, we discuss ELLA MCCAY, which — based on its poster — is a movie about a woman having trouble with her shoe. Hmn. That can’t be right. Well, whatever it’s about, it’s made by the legendary James L. Brooks, so we can be sure it’ll have a clear plot, strong themes, and a comprehensible emotional throughline!

The world is, how do you say, “un feu de poubelle.” So Dan took this mini as a chance to do a little check-in with his pals. How’s everyone doing?
