A podcast with Jordan Brady, the director of I Am Comic: Part II

By Adam Lippe

Here is part II with Jordan Brady, stand-up comic, and director of the new documentary on stand-up, I Am Comic.

A podcast with Jordan Brady, the director of I Am Comic: Part I

By Adam Lippe

Though this may seem like a normal podcast for A Regrettable Moment of Sincerity, it’s actually unique for a few reasons.

On Cold Fish:

Though the 16 year old me described the 1994 weepie Angie, starring Geena Davis as a Brooklyn mother raising her new baby alone, as “maudlin and melodramatic,” Roger Ebert, during his TV review, referring to the multitude of soap-operaish problems piling up on the titular character, suggested that it was only in Hollywood where Angie would get a happy ending. “If they made this movie in France, Angie would have shot herself.”
