    September 10th, 2018

    Debate starts at: 05:55. Does comedy have to be funny? Writer and director Dustin Sussman joins us this week to debate the thesis of an article published in Vulture called How funny does comedy need to be?

This is one of the most fascinating debates we’ve had on the show. Really worth listening to all the way through. Watch the video version here at Madcast Media Network YouTube channel
