Chris Hardwick: Mandroid
Hipsters beware: there is no irony in Hardwick’s affinity for Captain Picard, Comic-Con and the Atari 2600. Filmed at Skirball Center for Performing Arts in New York City, “Chris Hardwick: Mandroid” features candid comedy tales that cover virginity, chess club, shark vaginas, awkward childhood, awkward adulthood (which in this case is an extension of awkward childhood) and a myriad of other topics which may or may not include Quidditch. From unearthing his old MySpace page to the futility of attempting to delete his Facebook account, Hardwick displays his comical approach to all things trivial in the digital era, all while #hashtagging completely out of context.
Roy Chubby Brown's Front Page Boobs
Roy Chubby Brown returns with his bluest show yet, Front Page Boobs, live from Lincoln and brand new for 2012. He’s still rude, he’s still crude and this time he’s turning headlines into punch lines as his rip-roaring brand of banter continues to burst bellies across the country. Chubby doesn’t hold back from sharing his outlandish views on news, women and sex, sailing so close to the mark, even the most seasoned of fans will be left gob-smacked! Front Page Boobs even includes a verse of Chubby’s unforgettable rendition of ‘Alice’, on DVD for the first time ever. As politically incorrect as ever, “The World’s Most Outrageous Comedian” is far too rude for TV!

Redundant and unnecessary.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
