Why Comedies Suck Now - Judd Apatow (4K)
Judd Apatow is a filmmaker, producer, comedian, and writer.
The movies that shaped so many of us were unapologetically funny and often pushed boundaries. As the culture has changed and concerns around political correctness and cancellation have grown, how has that affected modern comedy, and what still feels possible?
Expect to learn how to have gratitude for pain, how comedy saved Judd and why “you only learn by not being funny”, why bombing on stage is just R&D, how to keep your ego in check when being friends with someone whose career is suddenly outpacing your own, what it takes to harness more creativity, if the “comedy collective” model still works or if social media ended the long-table-read era, why comedy movies aren’t funny anymore and much more…
