Big Sausage Pizza (The Films of Bill Maher)

About this episode

The episode explores the lesser-known films of Bill Maher, imagining an alternate reality where he plays a sitcom dad.

THIS WEEK: Out of Time (1988), Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989) and Pizza Man (1991) Imagine a world without the insufferable intrusions of Club Random on your various social feeds. Imagine a world where douchebag pundit supreme Bill Maher had landed a gig as a harmless sitcom dad. We dare to imagine such a world. A world where hope is still alive.
