Since 2015 comedians Paco Romane and George Chen have been recapping amazing documentaries with great guests from TV, Film and Music! By Doc Fans. For Doc Fans.

To conclude our Munchie May series on food documen

To conclude our Munchie May series on food documentaries we watched FAT a documentary by Peter Curtis Pardini (2019). Trainer-to-the-stars Vinnie Tortorich exposes the history behind widespread myths regarding healthy eating, fat, and weight loss. Is the American Obesity epidemic a product of culture, government intervention, corporate greed, or lack of will? You can watch FAT currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

And helping us pick through the layers is our medical and comedic guest, Dr. Priyanka Wali, @walipriyanka who schools George and Paco on the science behind the doc. As a comedian Priyanka was named one of Refinery29’s “Fifty Female Stand-Up Comedians You Need To Know” and featured on KFOG Radio, The Today Show, Uproxx, and Cosmopolitan. She’s also an expert on the ketogenic diet who lectures at conferences around the country. She also runs a medical comedy podcast called PreExisting Condition with Sammy Obeid.

This episode we shout out our friends at Honey and Pearl! @honeyandpearl

Rarely ever does an object of found footage amass as notorious a reputation as MEMORIAL DAY 2000 has. What harmlessly began as one nameless camerawoman’s home video from within the respectable walls of an RV soon comes fully unhinged, plunging dimensions into a merciless spectacle of iconic American moral decay. Captured ambivalently over the course of a lost Memorial Day weekend at the turn of the millennium, we bear cringing witness to a frenzy of fiercely misguided Gen Xers as they swarm an ill-fated North Michigan meadow in triumphant barbarism surrounding a federal holiday for the most part neglected to be mentioned in the video itself.

Unfortunately enough for the cast members of their own depraved opera, what happens on a Midwest field doesn’t always stay on a Midwest field… Only to be ditched two years later at a nearby yard sale, the ever-incriminating document was discovered and salvaged by those of a breed poles apart. Incidentally falling into the dutiful hands of noise musicians, Twig Harper and Carly Ptak (of Nautical Almanac) guilefully took it upon themselves to publish VHS copies via their label, which they then regularly carried on merch tables at dingy basement shows, allowing the anthropological artifact to effectively circulate through VCRs across the nation. Eventually hobbling its way back to haunt the dismayed sinners on display, the undead tape was pulled from print upon desperate request — however not before earning conflicted cult status and a burning lawn chair in the found footage hall of fame.

Now exactly two decades after that legendary weekend, Spectacle invites the judging eyes of the world to join us for a special 20th anniversary livestream in commemoration of the savage relic known only as MEMORIAL DAY 2000.

If you’re going for your Master’s degree in Call Today, #LesBlank is perhaps my number one inspiration as a food documentarian, I think? I hadn’t thought about that until George Chen asked me to choose a food doc to discuss on his show SUP DOC & I immediately chose Les Blank b/c he made some of my fav food films & some of my fav films period! His work is bouncy, patient, stoned, irreverent, sensual, food-centric, musical, and beautifully weird. GARLIC IS AS GOOD AS TEN MOTHERS is a ramble-y ode to garlic w/ loose structure, a yelling narrator, no story stakes — and it’s totally brill!! It also features legends from the California slow food / organic movement like #AliceWaters who is featured heavily cooking at #ChezPanisse, #WarrenWeber who is interviewed on his Bolinas farm, and many more. #WernerHerzog is even there!

It’s our 5 Year Anniversary! Comedians @pacoroma

It’s our 5 Year Anniversary! Comedians @pacoromane and @georgethechen along with producer @will.scovill have been doing Sup Doc Podcast for 5 years! (first episode we recorded was with @mattliebjokes Lieb on The Jinx)
We decided to take a break from True Crime (we have been doing a Mayhem theme month every May) to focus on food documentaries. Hence, #MunchieMay was born.
We asked @dereksheen666 because he's always reliable and is a great cook. He wanted to talk about the Noma documentary, and it was tangential as one would expect.
We also want to support food businesses that are struggling right now, so every episode will shout out a business. This episode we are letting people know about Uli Elser pretzel making at Squabisch.
Having this podcast has been a fun way to learn about new documentaries, talk to filmmakers, and form a virtual community.

NEW EPISODE!! In 2007 Mike Ott was starting his first teaching job as a film professor at a community college in Southern California. There he meets a bafflingly confident 18-year-old Leigh Harkrider, who thinks his student film, “Enslavence” is going to send him to stardom.

Together with Carl Bird McLaughlin, Mike follows Leigh’s attempt to put his vision in action. Along the way we meet characters that feel like they came from a Christopher Guest mockumentary. There’s the spazzy vulnerability of Cory Zacharia, the loyalty of put-upon Cory Rubin, and some form of accountability from stoner elder Phil Zeigler.

Leigh is filled with youthful hubris, but the film might come off as mean without his redemptive arc. Kid Icarus is like a spiritual sequel to American Movie. Mike tells George all about the process making it and the long road to its digital release. You can watch Kid Icarus on Amazon Prime and Kanopy. #kidicarus #documentarypodcast #comedians #director #pacoromane #mikeott #georgechen #interview #amazonprime #watch #movie #film #student #learn
