One hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY dirty, filthy joke--one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.

The craft, creative process and complicated lives of Stand-up Comedians.

Frank (Miller) is a gay journalist who goes undercover at the urging of his therapist boyfriend Jonathan (Provenza) to write an exposé of Dr. Apsey (Butler). Apsey performs conversion therapy on gay male clients, a practice which Jonathan finds reprehensible. Frank quickly comes clean with Apsey but continues to meet with him under the pretense of interviewing him, but finds himself questioning himself, Jonathan and their six-year relationship.

The life and career of one of comedy's most inimitable modern voices, Mr. Gilbert Gottfried.

A bunch of city slickers from different backgrounds go into the wild mountains to be one with nature, but basically to have a good time. However, a paramilitary group has chosen the same time to go camping. When one of the soldiers thinks their boss has been killed by one of the city slickers, he coaxes his team into exterminating all of them. They will have to rely on their wits and on each other in order to survive.

Three ex-cons kidnap a famous movie star and force her to film a sex tape live on the internet for a paying audience.

Four stories intersect in this violent film parody. Exterminators dress as hit men and try to protect the wife of their boss, Montello. Meanwhile, the strippers at Montello's strip club, dressed as nuns, attempt to rob him. Tag-team wrestlers steal Montello's briefcase, thinking its contents are valuable. Finally, Bumpkin, running to deliver a script, loses a lot of the pages.

Through unprecedented backstage access and candid interviews, the film weaves through the absurd world of the working comedian and reveals a crazy and hilarious psychological profile of its practitioners. We also follow retired comic Ritch Shydner's attempt to climb back on stage after a thirteen-year hiatus. At the top of his game in the 1980's, Shydner had HBO specials, shot five pilot TV shows, and numerous late night appearances (Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc.) but the big time eluded him. Equipped with the collective wisdom and nutty musings of over 80 of his peers, he gives it another shot. Does Ritch have what it takes to connect with today's young crowds and still get the laughs?

The Documentary takes an unconventional journey through the life of one of America's most original comedic voices. Eddie Pepitone, "The Bitter Buddha", is looked at in this portrait of creativity, enlightenment and rage.

Batman & Jesus is a documentary film investigating the historicity of a Jesus of Nazareth. By tracing the origins of Jewish and Christian mythology and using the contemporary example of Batman, among other pop culture heroes, the film will illustrate the evolution of mythology over time, as well as demonstrate how canonizing the gospels of the Bible would have been comparable to trying to canonize the Batman series today.

Alan is a gambler desperate to erase the huge sports debt he owes to a cruel but quirky Chicago mobster.

Noah Talbot is a long-time alcoholic whose drinking begins to have a devastating effect not only on his personal life but on his family as well.

A celebration of life, love, acceptance and family, "Food for the Heart" is a sweet romantic comedy, about two best friends, Delmar (Jorja Fox) and Hortense (Suzanne mara), whose culinary talents and gift for hospitality leads the two women to host evenings of love and laughter with an eccentric circle of half-baked family and friends.

A woman leaves her cheating husband in England and sets off on a trip to Los Angeles in hopes of meeting the man she considers to be perfect, George Clooney.

Originally a pilot that aired as a late movie on the CBS network. it was never picked up to continue as a series. It featured Phil Hartman, Richard Lewis, Richard Belzer, and has appearances by young Bob Saget and Emo Phillips. Very obscure, it wasn't included in any of the mentioned performers' filmographies until 2024.

Five college buddies start their own moving business only to find themselves tangling with sleazy competitors and the mob.

A frustrated crime reporter is given the job of food critic by his editor and when he writes a bad review of a mob owned restaurant, he must face the consequences.

Three longtime pals live in San Francisco: Darin is married to Natalie, but their family life is too still and Darin is not happy about it, Matt is ladies' magnet but tired of it, trying to get something stable from his relationships, and goofy Kevin doesn't have any success with women at all. Darin starts an affair with his friend's wife Maxine and Matt falls deeply in love with a woman he has seen once.

More terror/magic hijinks from Penn & Teller, with support from some other players. Paul Provenza spends the whole show trapped in a system of giant tubes. Skits include a new director and an auditioning starlet who can and will do anything, and the Three Stooges on a construction project. Other notable tricks include earthworms finding a photo from a stack, a borrowed ring apparently cut from a volunteer's stomach, and a bullet swap.

“Silenced” is a film about the state of free speech in America.

Haunted by uncanny similarities between Nazi stage techniques and the showmanship employed by modern entertainers, a filmmaker investigates the dangers of audience manipulation and leader worship.
