George Chen and Paco Romane talk with comedian/musician Henry Phillips about his favorite doc THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE! Released in 2002, The Kid Stays in the Picture uses Evans' narration interspersed mostly with photographs from Evans' life as well as brief film footage from films such as Love Story, The Sun Also Rises, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and The Godfather just to name a few...what makes this doc so great is Evans himself and how he changed Hollywood.
Henry Phillips has been seen and heard performing his twisted songs and stories on ‘Comedy Central Presents’, ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, as well as satellite and terrestrial radio nationwide. His critically acclaimed comedy albums earned him mention in Billboard magazine’s ‘Critic’s Choice’, as well as acclaim from such notable artists as Moby, who has referred to Phillips’ music as “disconcertingly funny”. He has also made acting appearances on HBO’s “Silicon Valley” (4 episodes) and Comedy Central’s “Drunk History”. His YouTube channel, featuring the tutorial cooking series “Henry’s Kitchen”, has garnered over 3 million views. Phillips continues to tour comedy and music venues throughout the US and beyond. Speaking of Hollywood, Henry’s newest movie is PUNCHING HENRY.

Episode 50 Live at San Francisco Sketchfest 2017.
For our live show we screened the cult classic "found footage" home movie Memorial Day 2000. Just a good clean video of Northern Michigan folks (Mike, Amy, Tom, and Kiersten) on vacation in a trailer setting things on fire, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, riding ATVs, throwing up, and having epic mudfights. Supposedly found as a VHS at a garage sale, Carly Ptak and Twig Harper (Nautical Almanac) sold the edited version through their website/noise label Heresee. It was discontinued at the request of the participants, but the legend lives on 16 years later. We talk about our own youthful indiscretions, Juggalos, Springer, Faygo, Warped Tour, sloppy joe tacos, Northern Cities Vowel Shift, what constitutes a documentary, camping fails, and much more. We even get to hear Paco play piano. Our esteemed panel included musician and radio host (Illogical Contraption) Cory Sklar (aka Chaki), comedians Melissa McQueen (Dorks Of Yore, Punching Henry), Frankie G (Killing My Lobster), and Emily Van Dyke.
Recorded Sunday January 29th at Pianofight.
