Stag Nation
Jamie Greenberg is the perfect example of the modern day “Stag,” which is what inspired him to direct the new comedy, Stags, premiering this Friday at the Visionfest Film Festival at Tribeca Cinemas with a cast including Jesse Joyce, Kimmy Gatewood, Anne Carr…
Ferris Bueller’s Last Day Off
I know I, for one, haven’t grown up or matured a day since the 1980′s. So it’s good to see that some of my main role models haven’t either. I just hope Teen Wolf is still keeping it real too, and hasn’t sold his rights to MTV’s tween drama department. But surely that could never happen.

Instead of a jam-packed lineup, you get half hour sets from two top notch acts…perhaps getting a final polish before a half hour special. The next show is tomorrow, June 17th (10pm) at The Peoples Improv Theater
Cool Dads!!!
Father’s Day is this weekend, and if you haven’t sent off a card or a present yet, just forward this to let him know that he’s a cool dad too. This video is from Mail Order Comedy, the sketch group behind the hilarious new Comedy Central show Workaholics.
Kid Farm: Episodes 1 & 2
In recent years, many reality shows about parents who sprang extreme amounts of offspring, such as John & Kate Plus 8 and 19 and Counting, have been big hits.

Wishing my “Dad” a skeptical Father’s Day. I’m not saying my mom ran around, I’m just saying I bear an uncanny resemblance to the FedEx guy. -MJ Offen
A Toast To Green Lantern
This short, from Frog Island Flicks, takes on Hollywood’s obsessive drive to churn out more comic book movies, quality of the hero be damned. Green Lantern, out next week, looks cringeworthy. But there’s always worse on the horizon. Starring TJ Miller, Tara Shea, Ryan Fox…
