A trailer for Harmontown starring Community’s Dan Harmon

4 March 2014 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Dan Harmon is best known as the creator of Community. He’s probably second-best known for getting fired from Community and having fights via voicemail with Chevy Chase.

He’s back on the show now, but between his firing and his return, he went on a live tour of the US to discuss lots of things, including the death of television, and play Dungeons and Dragons. For some reason, there’s now a documentary about this called Harmontown, in which everyone from the cast of Community to Sarah Silverman and Jack Black do their very best to be nice about him, although sometimes that best isn’t good enough.

Explore diversity with The (female) Wolf of Wall Street and Mad Black Men

3 March 2014 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

It’s an interesting exercise to see how strange cultural norms are if you flip them in some way. So prepare to have your mind slightly boggled by these two videos. The first sees a gender-reversed version of the trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street (original: sexist or merely reflecting a sexist world? Discuss), while the second is actually a trailer for a six-part web series, Mad Black Men, which rather than swap black and white, looks at the 1960s ad industry from the point of view of its few black employees.
