" Now, onto this absolute dumpster fire of a show. " Hunter Raccoon was watching this match with The Chadster and kept squeaking in emotional anguish at every unexpected near fall, showing how reckless Tony Khan's booking is!

In ‘Is This Thing On?’ a dumped dad finds a new chapter in stand-up. His wife’s a fan

In ‘Is This Thing On?’ a dumped dad finds a new chapter in stand-up. His wife’s a fan2+ hour, 46+ min ago (602+ words) Therapy often gets mined for comedy but we don't often see comedy treated as sincere therapy. "Is This Thing On?" Not that we see this by-day finance guy reject professional help in favor of some untapped passion. (Vamping for five minutes in front of strangers negates the cover charge.) But in bringing his marital woes to the stage and getting some chuckles, Alex believes he's hit upon something: a talking cure that comes with a fresh identity, new friends, an acceptable level of risk and a way out of unhappiness. It's such a frisky, alluring idea for a character study " meeting failure with the potential for more failure (and night after night to boot) " that when the movie proves to actually be about whether the marriage can be saved, instead of the granular, temperamental world of stand-up newbies, it almost…...

For one thing, Cooper sets the scene at New York City's The Comedy Cellar, the venue made famous by " amongst other things " Louis CK's FX series Louie. In reality The Comedy Cellar has no open mic night " it'd be like Grand Ole Opry being open for amateurs once a week. Is This Thing On? (Searchlight Pictures) Most importantly, there are no bad guys here, and as Tess, Laura Dern gets less screen time but an almost equal amount of the narrative's weight. Overall, Dern and Arnett play nicely off each other, capturing the frustration, sadness, and affection that get tangled up in a dissolving relationship " the affection in particular making their moments together all…...

Miles Teller ‘hates watching’ his own work, ‘Eternity’ director reveals4+ hour, 14+ min ago (722+ words) Miles Teller isn't the biggest fan of revisiting his films. But when it came to the rom-com that grapples with life after death, the actor, 38, was all in. "Miles hates watching his own work," David Freyne, director of "Eternity," exclusively told The Post. "He really does. But he did watch it. And he was like, "It's probably one of the best things I've done.' He was so proud of it.
