Louis C.K. joins We Might Be Drunk to celebrate his brand-new Netflix special and dive into one of the most movie-obsessed conversations we've ever had. Louis, Mark, and Sam break down everything from filmmaking and directing to bombing in comedy clubs, building new material, and what separates great comics from everyone else. Along the way they recommend dozens of incredible films—from Hollywood classics to hidden foreign masterpieces—and explain why these movies have stuck with them for years. If you're looking for your next great movie, this episode is packed with recommendations. Movies & TV mentioned (roughly in order): Broadchurch Doctor Who Sherlock (BBC) Elementary Billy Madison Ali Manhunter Thief The Insider Inside Man 25th Hour Malcolm X She's Gotta Have It Jungle Fever He Got Game Get on the Bus Clockers Exotica Out of the Blue Society of the Snow Alive Children of Men Parasite The Host Memories of Murder Early Spring (Yasujirō Ozu) All That Jazz Another Round The Age of Innocence Don't Look Now Death Wish Hard Times The Magnificent Seven To Be or Not to Be Decision Before Dawn Plus stories about Louie, Lucky Louie, Shameless, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, bombing on purpose, and why Louis believes great comedy starts where most comics get uncomfortable.
