Man on the Moon: Who's Playing Who?

February 5, 2021

Andy Kaufman was one of the most interesting people ever to act upon the stage. The biopic “Man on the Moon” chronicles his rise to notoriety but also showcases the deeper levels of understanding of his life that many sought to understand. This film stars Jim Carey, who obsessively method acted as if he was Kaufman, and for all intents and purposes became him while filming. Eerie coincidence? Or telepathy from beyond the grave?

November 6, 2020

How did this unassuming show end up ignored for so long? Leading off this month’s host rotation is a heartfelt discussion of Avatar the Last Airbender.
