Hail Satire! With Vic Shuttee

The 2020 Oscar season was shorter and snuck up on us before we knew it. Now that the nominations are out and the ceremony is days away - who is gonna take this one home tonight: will 1917 keep its streak alive, or with Parasite upset and set history. Will Tarantino finally get his top prize, or will a legend like Scorsese add to his resume? Can Joker, the billion dollar superhero flick that earned 11 nominations, shock us all once again? Plus, the great forgetten and underrated flicks like UNCUT GEMS, JOJO RABBIT, THE LIGHTHOUSE and more. We cover acting noms, animation and editing, costumes, make-up, and more. Wesley Moon is on Twitter @WhatWesWatches! Originally recorded Feb 5, 2020. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.  

2019 had it all and some to spare: great comedies like Jojo Rabbit, Dolomite Is My Name, and Booksmart hit theaters, major shows like Veep and the Big Bang Theory signed off, Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler made major returns to SNL, and comedy controversy was EVERYWHERE. Scott White is a podcast favorite, and host of Scott White's Dan Aykroyd Podcasty, The Bulldog Chronicles and recently taped a new comedy special in Houston, TX. Together we break down the year's achievements in funny films, television programs, stand-up specials, sketches, and tip our hats the interesting stories, those who fell from glory and those we have lost along the way. Originally recorded January 1, 2020. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s the week that Rob Corddry was on fire, Lewis Black craves some cow and Ed Helms finally delivers the goods in a piece that forced The Daily Show to break news as opposed to just mirror it, in a field piece focusing on the man who attempts to give children in Harlem toy guns to play with. Plus, The Daily Show recognizes a sister in satire with Iraq’s comedy program WINDOWS.

Conversation #178, recorded on August 29, 2019. Nothing is more comforting these days than nostalgia, and writer/director Ben Giroux and songwriter/composer Jensen Reed have spent a pretty penny to offer you a true time machine with BACK TO THE 80s, a viral short stuffing more references into a kickin' hair metal tune than you can even imagine. The duo talk about meeting through the Voice Over world (Ben's credits include HENRY DANGER and BUNSON IS A BEAST), discovering how much footage you can shoot in one location and what's next for the greatest fake hair metal band you've never heard of.

AUGUST 12 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! What a week it was for interviews as we get TDS wraps on two early favorites, performers Bebe Neuwirth and Michael Clarke Duncan – while the era of the presently famous star actor is upon us, with the first appearance of A-lister Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, the comedy front is light with the debut of the tedious (a new technology segment with Ed Helms entitled DIGITAL WATCH), boring (Oscar coverage WITHOUT Frank DeCaro? Say it ain’t so!) and standing (Jon stands to deliver a mostly educational segment on North Korea)!

Jon is bringing it hard to democrats on the couch, when Arianna Huffington makes her debut on the couch – but maybe its just because Jon’s feeling sad about the Democratic weebles.

JULY 24, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! It’s that last week of Janurary, so the show is hit with two back-to-back obligatory coverage episodes of the Superbowl and The State of Union, which offer plenty of alarms without much depth. But there’s good to be found – Jon takes on the cut-tos of Bush’s audience and Jeff Greenfield breaks down the Bush re-election hopes and never say never! Both Whaaaa and I On News returns, as does the Rob Corddry unitard.

JULY 23, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! A great week for the Late Night Luminaries punch card as the show books talk show legend Merv Griffin and a special appearance by Jimmy Kimmel, the former Comedy Central star on the eve of his grand ABC debut – a job Jon competed for too!

JULY 15, 2019 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! The view on Iraq extends to the entire Axis of Evil, and slows down as Bush yearns to head to the Middle East for a bit of war – a fact which clearly depresses guest Michael Moore, and doesn’t phase newly minted Democratic frontrunner Joe Lieberman. Meanwhile, in a non-Meanwhile moment, Lewis Black breaks the Back in Black format to try something new… something with a gavel. JUDGE LEWIS BLACK PRESIDES over something not dissimilar to the future Comedy Central series THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

Everybody loves JB Smoove - from stealing scenes in four season of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (with a fifth on the way), to his latest role entering the MCU in SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME, JB is just getting starting.

Now JB is back to his stand-up roots on the Lollygaggin' Tour through Texas, with a one-night-only spot at Houston's House of Blues on Friday, July 26th.
