Fearless with Tim “Hitmaker” Simons is available now wherever you get your podcasts. Toxic strawberries not included. (A note from the BC social media manager - I did not watch this movie this week because I am flying to LA tomorrow. I put in slide 4 mostly as a reminder to myself. Carry on.)

THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW IMPROV SHOW is headlining at DCM'26! Thursday, June 11th! 10pm on the UCB Mainstage @UCBTNY ! Festival + Headliner badges are now on sale at UCBComedy.com! "Retired Filmmaker George Lucas" (Connor Ratliff) & his sidekick, WATTO (Griffin Newman) will be abandoning the tired "late night talk show" format in an attempt to adapt to what Vanity Fair recently called "the new late night... lo-fi and unpredictable" by performing improv with SPECIAL GUESTS TBA! Is this the kind of crazy stunt that will get George & Watto a show on DROPOUT??? #YesANDOR

What is the worst thing you’ve ever done? Join Richard, Alison, and producer Ben as they discuss THE DRAMA, a movie about that very question. Come for the Zendaya movie star chatter, stay for the discussion about the state of Provocateur Cinema. Also, something about Kyoto Penguin relationship drama???
