Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast and ColeTries.com are back with another installment of "Late Screening"! This time, Cole turns the tables on Ian, introducing him to Comedy Central's bizarre docu-series, Nathan for You. The show finds host Nathan Fielder proposing outrageous marketing schemes to struggling small businesses and, along the way, providing savage critiques of everything from celebrity worship to capitalism to reality television.
In Part 1 of this very special edition, Ian reviews his "homework" with Cole, discussing the seven-and-a-half Nathan for You episodes he watched ahead of the feature-length Season Four finale, Finding Frances (which will be the centerpiece of Part 2). The guys talk about "cringe-worthy" entertainment; some of the episodes' left-field intricacies; and Fielder as the custodian of Sacha Baron Cohen's comedic legacy.
Also, Ian reminds listeners of this Friday's Chicago Critics Film Festival, and talks about another bit of catching up he did over the weekend.
