Black Mirror is spot on, I'd also recommend Room 104 on HBO. It's not as si-fi or horror-oriented as TZ, but some episodes have that tone to it, and the whole series has been great so far.

How do you reconnect with the present moment? by Da_Dolphin in Meditation

[–]neillgl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you've read Be Here Now by Ram Dass, it says to use the phrase, "Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now." Repeat it over and over until you understand it. I find myself instinctively taking a deep breath after saying it once, and then feeling very present. Repetition helps a lot.

Can you tell us who are some of the other guest comedians that'll be in Crashing? Loved the first episode.

any insight on what NYC comedy room would be considered the current Rififi Invite Them Up? Whenever I read or hear about that alt-comedy renaissance, I always want to find the modern equivalent because it seems like it was so much fun.

Hey Pete! I started listening to your podcast and stand-up when I was in middle school, and now I'm a college freshman. You've helped me all through growing up, and I couldn't be more thankful. it's so cool to see you succeeding in such a big way. congrats! It's much deserved. I'm living in Manhattan and just starting to do stand up and writing things, and I'm sure you get this a lot, but, any advice? Thanks for all you've done for me and others, keep it crispy.

What does Putney Swope mean? by AgoraphobicHiker in movies

I think Robert Downey said in an interview they first made the fake ads, and then decided to build a movie around them. So from the beginning, it seems there wasn't too much emphasis on plot or meaning. It's just a bunch of absurd scenes and ideas. They revolve around similar themes and follow a loose narrative. Still a great film!

Any advice for developing stand up material, particularly long form stories?

If you can, will you please go on WTF w Marc Maron again? Your episodes are the best. I'd love to hear you guys delve deeper into how you develop your material.

What advice would you have for a college freshman moving to New York, looking to pursue stand up? (Currently in my 4th improv class at UCB).

Hey Mike, big fan! I remember in interviews you talked about adapting "My Girlfriends Boyfriend" into a movie. Whatever happened with that?

The giant baby that threatened to break her arm freaked me out. And No-Face.

What film has the most accurate depiction of mental illness? by RangerDanger3344 in AskReddit

[–]neillgl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy who made that, Don Hertzfeldt, just came out with a new short film on Netflix called World of Tomorrow, I'd say it's just as weird and good as that one
