The 1980s (and 70s for that matter) was a wild time for stand-up comedy!
Men like Richard Pryor and George Carlin paved the way for the Eddie Murphys, Jim Carreys and Sam Kinisons of the 80s. This episode we delve into some of these comedians and how they shaped us as Gen-Xers!

Get ready to meet one of my comedy heroes, but only if you can handle a LOT of profanity. George Carlin, following the path of his mentor, Lenny Bruce, kicked the doors of censorship down so people like myself could have careers in comedy, and not worry about being arrested for saying something "obscene." Today, we learn about the amazing, prolific, inspiring life of George Carlin - how a boy raised by a single mother in New York City grew up to become a radio DJ, then part of two man comedy team, then a solo nightclub act who first achieved success after some early struggles as a clean-cut, mainstream comic. He next decided to follow his counterculture leanings only to lose it all, rebuild into something better, nearly lose it all again, and then become the Carlin of legend. Carlin battled a crippling cocaine addiction, domestic problems at home, a business that wrote him off numerous times, battles with a government that tried to censor him over and over again, and much more to end up with fourteen HBO comedy specials and the designation of one of the best, if not THE best to ever do it - the father of modern standup. Myself and the rest of the comedy community owe him a huge debt of gratitude, and I'm excited to share his life with you here today, on another biographical episode, of Timesuck.

Front Row Classics is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Lady Sings the Blues. Brandon and Eric are joined by Bea Bonner from NPR Illinois' Community Voices. The hosts discuss Diana Ross' Oscar nominated performance as the legendary Billie Holliday. The peformances of Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor are also celebrated. Lady Sings the Blues is a heartwrenching, if not entirely accurate, biopic. We hope this episode will inspire a new generation to discover one of the most underrated films of the 1970s.
Ken features some remarkable comedy routines featuring Richard Pryor, Albert Brooks, Bob & Ray, Steven Wright, Abbott & Costello, and a surprise. NOTE: Some very explicit language (hey, it’s Richard Pryor). End the year with laughter.

In the mood for a basic riches-to-rags story? Join Jonny and Darin as they discuss Walter Hill's comedy classic BREWSTER'S MILLIONS, starring late greats Richard Pryor and John Candy. But is this umpteenth adaptation of 1902's most popular novel worth the price tag and moral degradation? NostalgiaCast serves it up to you on a very hot plate!
Movies never stop and neither do the Blu-rays which is why Erik Childress and Sergio Mims continue to talk about them so you can build your physical media collection. It may only be on DVD but any cornucopia of Richard Pryor material is a gift and they discuss a new one from Time-Life. Sergio digs into the Arrow release of Ridley Scott’s Legend and Criterion’s The Damned. They go through a variety of titles from Kino and a pair of major 4K releases from Warner Bros. that bring both praise and reservations for their classic status. Finally they dig into the Warner Archive to discuss a problematic Errol Flynn film, a great James Stewart western, an overlooked Dustin Hoffman performances and one of the funniest comedies of all-time that is a must-have.

Bob Saget is a prince of a man. He took time out of his busy (no really!) quarantine to talk to us. We even made him late for his own podcast, "Bob Saget's Here For You." In this episode, we talk about him forgetting me but remembered a bad review he got in 1978 from the Toronto Star – and the reviewer's name. We also chat about his penis, he tells stories of Richard and Rodney (Pryor and Dangerfield, natch), and my brush with greatness: Mrs. Miller.
There was supposed to be a guest but technology is cursed. Kellar is so mad he forgets what Beirut is called and never finishes a story about chopping a frozen Monster with a kitchen knife. Strenk kinda talks Kelly through it. Richard Pryor invented Gremlins. Shit's bleak.
Ending song: Liturgy/LEYA "Antigone"
