Louis C.K. on the B.S. Report →
I regularly listen to the B.S. Report (Bill Simmons’s podcast) and this week, Bill had Louis C.K. as a guest. I’m sure that Louis is doing plenty of promotion for his new comedy special, but I think anyone who like Louis would enjoy this podcast. It was an hour and a half split into two parts. You can download the podcast at the link and you can buy Louis’s new special here.

Red State
I watched Red State on DVD this past week. It was written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma), but it was unlike any of the other Kevin Smith movies. It was part horror, part action, and part comedy. It was a strange movie but I enjoyed it.
