If you’ve watched a few Hollywood comedies in the past three or four years, chances are you’ve caught a glimpse of Matt Walsh. Comic bit player is sort of his secret identity, which transforms into super funny Upright Citizens Brigade founder and improv master on stage. Here are ten reasons to love this under-sung comic genius.
Tune into see Matt Walsh on THE MORTIFIED SESSIONS, Monday November 12th 10p.
Having a famous last name in the entertainment industry can be a lot to live up to. But Jason Ritter (Parenthood) has carved out his own distinct place on the small and silver screens, keeping it cool in dozens of roles. He’s an actor that doesn’t demand a lot of fanfare — he’s just dependable as the brother, the boyfriend and, sometimes, the bad ass. Of all the reasons to love Jason and his surprisingly diverse career, we picked ten of our favorite Ritter moments.
Tig Notaro’s genius has always rested in her innate sense of humor and impeccable comedic timing. She calls out the absurdity of any situation with a Southerner’s warmth and courtesy. None of that uptight, anxious, Northern-neurotic yelling here. She keeps her cool so well, Tig may have changed the way people in our culture deal with the Big C. Check out these ten reasons why you should be diggin her scene.
Actor-writer-director-all-around-indie-MVP Mark Duplass recently completed yet another project: recommending a streaming movie on Netflix every day for the past year. Here, then, are Duplass’ top ten selections from his hundreds of suggestions, nabbed from his Twitter handle @MarkDuplass. Long live #Netflix365!
If it seems like you’ve been watching Mark Duplass on screen forever, it’s not because you have (unless you are 7). He’s only been in features for the past seven years or so, but in that time he’s starred in about a dozen movies, co-directed five, and written a few more. Duplass is an indie film hit-machine. He brings a plainspoken authenticity to both the movies he makes and the roles he takes; he’s an indie performer with a dash of low-key movie-star charisma. Here are ten reasons to love him.
Catch Mark on Sundance Channel’s THE MORTIFIED SESSIONS this Monday 10/22 at 10P.

On a stick. To see if she is pregnant. Otherwise, it is just weird.
Peter and Kristen are an interesting pair. They’re the most like a hetero couple…right down to the breakdown of responsibilities. She rears the children, and he makes the jokes.
Cornhole. ‘Nuff said.

Oh, dear! It looks as though we’ve got some back stabbing going on. It’s bad enough Olivia and Brent have crashed and burned, but to rub it in? And in a jacket like that? The horror!
There is a lot to envy about Sherrié, her hair, that voice, her hair and her amazing hair. But, for bestie Shane, it’s the freedom she’s got to express herself in the hetero-normative world of country music that really makes him jealous.
How do you ask a friend to make out with you? When you’re in a serious relationship? Well, try making a music video. It worked for Shane.
If you’ve been waiting see more of Jared making out then you are in luck! Only this time, it’s with our boy Shane. Is it a scandal? No, it’s just a music video shoot. It didn’t mean anything. It was just acting. The sacrifices our Shane makes for the theater!
Wow! Peter really didn’t learn much about women while he was…married to one. The only advantage he can find to being one is…free drinks from guys. Sorry, Kristin…your life is so unenviable.
Forget romantic comedies—bromances are the new central relationship in film and television. The fist bumps! The six packs! There’s nothing like two awesome dudes getting along so well they consider themselves best bros for life. Til death do they part. However, as many guy/guy relationships are played out to be platonic, we can’t help but wish for more from some of our favorite dude pairings. Here are the ones that have the most potential to cross over from the throes of bro to gay.
Peter can be such a loose canon, so it’s always interesting to see him get serious. And it appears as though the only thing that can really get him on the serious track is his family. Being a parent can be tough. And Peter seems to be doing the mature thing by reaching out to…
So we’re at the start of another year, and we’ve already heard the same resolutions buzzing about: eating better, going back to the gym, tossing out the jeggings. But none of these can put the energy back into a friendship between a woman and her best gay (well, maybe tossing the jeggings). And seeing as this relationship is more solid than say 99% of your other ones, it’s time to get that spark back. Consider some of these BGF relationship resolutions if you need somewhere to start:
This week on GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS we’re going to give you some relief. Had enough of your family for the year? Tag along with Jared to Tenisha’s family reunion and take care of family time, Southern style. Because really, aren’t other peoples’ family issues way better than your own?
Everybody loves a little good news. And we’re pretty sure nobody likes it more than the folks slugging it out in a war zone. It must be pretty frustrating missing a call from your wife when you’re in Afghanistan…but, at least Roman didn’t know what he was missing (yet).
It was the night before Christmas and all through New York City there were scores of singles reaching out via text, email, Facebook, or the old-fashioned phone call, making plans for the evening. My girl Cherri’s family was scattered across the country so she relied on her friends for company and a stiff drink celebrating the birth of Christ. I wanted to stay in and brace myself for the onslaught of family, but met her anyway. The whole BGF thing isn’t some television gimmick.
There is only one shopping day left until the next GIRLS WHO LIKE BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS. Sherrié is off to New York with Shane for her record release party. But while she’s worrying about knocking everyones’ socks off, he’s got relationship drama on the mind. Will Shane get it together for their big night?
We’ve all got problems, especially around this time of year. And if your biggest problem is that your pregnant best friend likes to go to bed at 10 p.m. and can’t get drunk with you…then consider yourself lucky? We’ve already got a drunk uncle crashing on the couch, a sibling in the midst of a nervous breakdown and a mother who swears she’s not coming over unless her three teacup Yorkies get to sit at the dinner table. C’mon Peter, you’ve made THREE babies, you must know how this works.
With the right pitch anything is possible. It’s like Harvey Milk said, you just have to have hope. Thanks to Kickstarter there is an unbelievably wide variety of Queer projects set to take off. From films about Brooklyn’s first African American-owned gay bar, to documentaries about gay porn and gay rights pioneer, the scope is as diverse as the community they stem from. Here’s a sampling:
