We know what you're thinking: "What the hell kind of movie title is that?"

That's exactly what Sony Pictures Classics thought when they about-faced on carrying this to theaters. Join John, Dixon, and Ryan as they peel back the layers of Albert Brooks's satire Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005), a seemingly divisive satirical deconstruction of comedy and culture made during the turbulent times at the start of the Iraq War. Is it ruthlessly genius? Is it smartly prudent? We aim to talk through the quagmire and hopefully come out with some better sense of the situation, and we've saved you a seat (and a 4~500 page report on comedy) at the table.
