Jorma Taccone | This Episode Sucks | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out
Since The Lonely Islandās Jorma Taccone was last on the podcast, he survived a nearly 20 foot fall from a ladder. Now Jorma tells the full ladder story and explains how the near death experience changed his life. Plus, Jorma talks about directing his new movie, Over Your Dead Body, starring Jason Segel and Samara Weaving, and how he explained to his wife that he was making a comedy about someone trying to kill their wife. Mike and Jorma discuss whether being nice has helped or hurt their careers, and Jorma explains why if he says something āsucks,ā it means he really likes it.

Might I suggest you have Mark Forward on. He does some of the most creative comedy out there.

Why do you do intro clips? I know the stupid media theory behind it. Do a poll and ask how many of your viewers like having to bear it or fast forward through it. š¤š¤š¤š«”š¤¬
Ohhh, āItās so people who donāt know your podcast canā¦ā. Like I said, I know the stupid media theory. I like you. Thatās why I bothered to say this. āÆļø

The Goonies, Die Hard, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, The Shawshank Redemption, The Ice Storm… enjoyable, iconic in their genres, but, as a serious filmmaker, that shows some serious wholes in your bag š There's personal taste and there's shallow, uninformed story telling.
