Louis C.K. is a busy guy: The third season of the highly acclaimed Louie just premiered, his upcoming tour is already selling out, and he's in Woody Allen's new movie. So what's next? Maybe a big-budget comedy? "If [Larry the Cable Guy] and I are in a movie together playing cops, don’t go see it. Punish me for taking the money," he tells the Av Club. (He does say, though, that Dan Whitney, who plays Larry, is "a great guy.")Plus, who needs a $30 million crappy buddy movie when there are more righteous paths to financial gain? C.K. admits that even he was surprised by how effective his self-distribution model turned out to be. "When we hit a million [dollars], I thought, 'This is crazy,'" he says. "It didn’t feel like it was just about me; a lot of people had sort of voted with this money. It was an...

It's a pancake version of Drive's scorpion jacket, see?! No? Okay an Alien face-hugger? Humor me.No, no. Stop salivating. It's not another announcement that I've made pancakes in the shape of movie whatsits. The happy news is that tomorrow afternoon there will be an Emergency Podcast Broadcast. What emergency, you ask? The Oscar nominations, silly... 22 hours and counting!
Tuesday is Christmas morning for Nick and I, don't you know. We'll be here to discuss. Possibly with another guest.
I ♥ this time of year hard. You read lots of web griping that awards season is too torturously long. Oh please. Punish me with red carpets and star sighting and predictions and list-making!!! I don't need a safe word.
The only part of awards season that is reliably awful is the mad rush of movies, more than anyone can possibly see, all in the space of a two week period and...

In the series Yes No Maybe So we parse out movie trailers to determine just how excited we are about an upcoming movie. Today... David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method in which two very infamous doctors of psychiatry (Freud and Jung) find a perfect guinea pig in unstable Russian woman Sabina Spielrein; Psychoanalysis is born, though it hasn't quite worked out its doctor/patient boundaries just yet.
Yes
Viggo Mortensen, David Cronenberg's chief muse these days, plays Sigmund Freud and their second reunion after the masterpiece A History of Violence (followed by the compelling Eastern Promises) would be enough for a sober grunted "yes" on its own. Stir the Crazy of Freud/Jung into the mix with justifiably Most-Wanted Michael Fassbender in the lead role of Carl Jung and the yes becomes as hysteric as Jung's patient Sabina played by Keira Knightley (who is obviously out to raise her...
