S2 Episode 45 - In It for the Long Haul

Michael always liked Buck Henry, who he briefly mentions in this episode. He just seemed like a dry, funny guy who didn't take himself too seriously, as evidenced by his performance in, "The Player," in which he pitches "The Graduate 2." There's really no reason for us to be discussing Buck Henry at any length in the description but why not have a little homage for a terrific American comic voice.And, as always, Michael Ian Black reads Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.Get more at https://www.patreon.com/michaelianblackSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

S2 Episode 35 - Wobbling on Pillars

Comedian Michael Ian Black is tackling a great work of literature. Actually, Tackling might be too strong a word. More like “light caressing” plus a lot of complaining. He’s reading the Thomas Hardy classic, Jude the Obscure, out loud and commenting as he goes. Join Michael and friends like Jen Kirkman, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Showalter, and even his teenage daughter, as he discovers the world of Victorian England. Is it a terrible idea? Probably. But it’s a terrible idea he wants to do with you.
