2022: A Year In Comedy Movies, TV, Stand-Up, Good-Byes and Happenings with Chase Austin

About this episode

The episode discusses the highlights and controversies of comedy in 2022, featuring guest Chase Austin.

2022 was the beginning of the grand return to normalcy in many ways, and for comedy: there was a lot to look at and even more we missed. From big comedies tentpole comedies like Jackass Forever and Everything Everywhere All At Once, to smaller scale send-ups like Daniel Radcliff in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story or Jon Hamm in Confess Fletch, the comedy film was visible but sometimes fleeting. Plus, we pour one out to the big comic icons lost in 2022 including Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried, and talk about the contraversies that most blew our mind - Kenan vs Chris Redd, Will Smith's slapgate and the great SNL cast exodus. Joining Vic is podcaster from The Movie Gap Chase Austin, who has seen more than his fair share of media this year both good and bad - perhaps due in no small part to his wife. Originally recorded Jan 1, 2023. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.
