Description

Not exactly the joyous affair you would expect from the team this week, with some of the topics getting quite heavy and dare we say it; polarising. It's not just with regards to the Oscars either.



Jamie and Benjii chat about the possibility of the comedy as an art-form becoming more and more problematic when supposed greats like Bill Hicks are now deemed as problematic with their revenge fantasies and blackened humour. Does context play a large part though? Are we "cherry picking" bits from an overall routine to fit a narrative rather than the overarching themes of the likes of Hicks, Carlin, Bruce and Lee?



The duo also discusses Green Book, Detainment, Time's Up and what the stepping down of it's CEO could mean for both political movements and to lighten the mood, Bowser taking over Nintendo of America.



Produced by Jamie Larson.

Edited by Benjii Jackson.

Theme music by Maeve Munro.
