Pervert Gazette: Issue #1 (Patreon)

It's our first ever official Improv Pervert Gazette! We’re cooking up a month and thought y'all might like some updates about the pod! We're also big into Hot Rec's so we figured we throw in what we're vibing on whether it be TV, Movies, Music, Books, etc! Let's start with the news!

Pod News

We’re heading to LA next week for a LIVE show with Dan, as well as, a few in person recordings with some of our favorite LA based improvisers!

Damian and I are doing a FUDGE and Friends this Saturday night at LSI with Laurel Krabacher and Lawrence Collerd. Should be an epic little night of prov!

We just finished another batch of in person recordings here in Chicago with Elim Almedome, Daniela Aguilar, Mark Ratterman, Will Stiles and Trevor Haaker. Some weird, some funny, some wild’n’out. 

We’re signed on for the Mud City Festival happening in Chicago on June 4th-6th. We’ll be rocking the June 6th 8 pm at the Den Theater and when tickets are available, we'll post'em here! We’ll also likely be hosting some workshops!

Grab a Ticket for Chicago or LA!!

Tim

I tried Stand-Up for the first time this month and it was a blast. My main goal was literally just get on stage, so by that metric, I’m WAY ahead. It was exciting and I look forward to giving it some more spins. 

TV

Possible Spoilers for Andor ahead!

I rewatched Andor and realized how much I missed upon first viewing. One of my favorite lines of all time delivered by Stellan Skaargard after Mon Mothma tells his character Luthen that “She isn’t sure what he’s saying” in regards to needing to be “protected” from Tay Kolma. 

Luthen: We’ll be vulnerable, you need to be protected.

Mon: I’m not sure what you're saying…

Luthen: How nice for you.

An incredibly written scene and episode. 

Movies

I joined up with a movie club with a couple of my buddies to force ourselves to watch a movie a week whether it be new, a classic, or something that’s just been on our own personal list. It’s been great and I’m seeing a lot of stuff I would’ve otherwise missed! This past week we watched John Carpenter's They Live and while I ultimately enjoy it, Rowdy Roddy Piper might be Top 10 worst performances of all time. Keith David putting in overtime to balance it out.

Gaming

I put 60 hours into a game called V Rising over the past 2 months where you play as a vampire trying to survive in a messed up anti-vampire world, build a castle, and slay THE Dracula. It was fun, grindy, and oftentimes frustrating. I’m happy it's over but I’ll miss the blood I sucked along the way. Onto Slay the Spire 2…

Finally, here's a photo of my dog trying to herd me

Damian

I've been getting into recording music, bare bones stuff in Garageband, and a little obsessed with it!

Movies

Watched "Train Dreams" the other day. Didn't really know much about it going in, and didn't really have any urge to watch it when I put it on, but it ended up making me cry. Small, simple film with a point of view that got me. Joel Edgerton is becoming one of my favorite actors. Check him out in "The Stranger" if you can.

Music

Currently really loving Wild Pink's latest album "Dulling the Horns" from last year. I'd describe it as Americana inspired distorted indie rock, whatever that means to you.

Dan

While Dan is pretty much on a semi-permanent hiatus from the pod due to crushing it writing on NBC's St. Denis Medical (S3 Just the Announced BTW) we wanted to include him here in the way he'd want to be involved.
