In the eleventh episode of the Gettin Close Podcast I sit down with Dangerous Fools! They have become a favorite of mine (and many others) and their shows are not to be missed. Thomas Fowler and Mary Carpenter of two of the most patient players you’ll see and craft a show that (to steal a quote from the podcast) doesn’t go for a laugh, but earns a roar. Mary has been around Philly comedy for a while as was Thomas before he picked up and moved to LA. If you don’t know him, then you’ll probably recognize his face from several commercials. He is in town so they can do their run of shows at Comedysportz this week and they were both kind enough to give me some time to chat. And a what a great chat it was. We talk about their beginnings in improv, as a duo, their general improv philosophies, shortform and longform, premise based shows and much, much more. Listen to the podcast, see the show and I promise you won’t be disappointed in either.

Star Trek: Section 31

It’s time for a Star Trek movie event! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coelman Hinners and Michael Henley take a break from the end of Lower Decks to discuss Section 31, the new Paramount Plus original Star Trek movie starring Michelle Yeoh. In this episode we discuss this would-be TV series turned into a movie…featuring Emperor Georgiou, Quasi, Zeph…and Rachel Garrett? It’s not quite a TV pilot, not quite a feature film, but it is definitely a fun discussion regarding this divisive latest entry in the Trek family.
