Interesting show.. It was a mix of movie discussion, free giveaways, screening short films, and fleshing out standup.

I only wish there was more banter about movies because I would have really loved to hear more arguing about Mamma Mia, The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones.


Graham Elwood & Chris Mancini. Turns out Graham has a batman shirt, watch, and ring, but apparently cant find his wedding ring. If he wasnt on the road with Benson at the time of the release of TDK, he would have been at the arclight, in costume, ready to fight.


"Youre a comedian? I have a great joke for you.. you can have it if you want."
Jackie Kashian talks about hating to listen to people pitch her jokes, mostly due to the fact that they're usually dirty or racist.


"fuck it.. I'll just sit here and hold it."
Technical difficulties with the screen during the screening of Moosecock.


"geezus.. could they have milked that premise any more?"
Mike Schmidt rips on Moosecock, only to plug it on their website for download in the next sentence.


Along with the earlier giveaway of Doug Benson's CD (signed "congrats film nerd"), they gave away a board game from their sponsor, Pirate King.


Maria, the 3-Toed Sloth.
