Podcast #141 – Funny People (Just For laughs)
After so many films at Fantasia, I’d forgotten that it’s possible to laugh at anything but an amusingly coloured pancreas, or the physically brutal awkwardness of an Asian romantic comedy. Thankfully, the Just for Laughs film festival is there to remind me that comedy is not always for serial killers Now in its 13th year, the Just for Laughs Film Festival, once called Comedia, is part of the Just for Laughs stand-up festival. And while it focuses mainly on short films, there are always several high profile features included. Join us tonight on Sound on Sight as we take a look at three of this year’s films: Judd Apatow’s highly anticipated Funny People, Paper Heart, and Sundance sensation Humpday.
Ricky D is the editor-in-chief of Sound on Sight and one of the hosts of 'Sound On Sight Radio', the 'Sordid Cinema' podcast and our videocast titled 'Front Row Center'. He also contributes written reviews when time permits.
