‘Babes’ review: An infantile comedy in all the right ways
The comedy subgenre of “oh crap I’m pregnant and not ready to have a baby” is fertile ground. Pun intended. Recent years have brought us the likes of Juno, Knocked Up and Waitress, and to that list we add the focus of this episode: Babes.It should first be noted that the comedy chops behind this recent release are strong. Ilana Glazer penned the script along with Broad City alum Josh Rabinowitz, Pamela Adlon handled directing duties, and Glazer stars with the similarly wonderful Michelle Buteau. Of course, great talent does not guarantee good results. And R-rated comedy is a tricky area to navigate. So how does this one fare?Obviously, we’d like you to listen to the full podcast to find out. But we can say, like Glazer’s character in Babes, initial results are positive.- Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette

The Milwaukee duo who shaped the sound of ‘The People’s Joker’
We’re down a Cinebud this week, but worry not because we called in a couple of Jokers to compensate.To be more accurate, our very special guests joining us on this episode are two of the people who worked on viral and cinematic sensation The People’s Joker: composers Justin Krol and Quinn Scharber. The Milwaukee-based duo are the driving force behind the film’s score and thus have enjoyed a front-row seat to its tumultuous and controversial existence.We won’t get too into the legal weeds here, but to summarize: The People’s Joker debuted at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2022, was shelved under the threat of legal action from Warner Bros., snuck in a secret midnight screening at the Milwaukee Film Festival in 2023 and then finally began its proper theatrical run last month.With Kpolly on the sidelines for this one, Dori uses her finely honed interviewing skills to get Krol and Scharber chatting about their early days as Milwaukee musicians, their connection to the movie’s star/creative force Vera Drew, and the chutzpah required to get into this very competitive field.Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette
