Nate Bargatze ’s been fooled by a reversible jacket. He can’t sleep with his feet sticking out from under the blankets because of a fake crime show he accidentally caught a glimpse of his parents watching one time, 30 years ago. And helping his daughter with her third-grade homework is proving to be a learning experience for the both of them. (“I learned when to use a or an in a sentence. I thought you felt it out.”) In the trailer for the comedian’s second Netflix stand-up special, The Greatest Average American , Bargatze makes light of his own haplessness at just about everything that isn’t comedy. Bargatze filmed the COVID-era special outdoors at Universal Studios in October 2020, but the trailer makes the hour-long special look more intimate than the setting would suggest. Netflix describes The Greatest Average American as being about “being part of the Oregon Trail generation, meeting his wife while working at Applebee’s and the hilariously relatable moments of being a father and husband.” It premieres March 18 on Netflix, so you can totally watch it indoors. … [Read more...] about Nate Bargatze Isn’t Smarter Than a Third Grader in the Trailer for His New Special

Why, Yes, David Crosby’s Threesomes Would Include Men
Photo: Jim Spellman/WireImage To paraphrase a wise old quality-assurance director: It was the ’60s, often outdoors, and it’s possible a man slipped in. In a lively new interview with the Los Angeles Times, David Crosby nearly pulled a full Quincy Jones and admitted that he used to enjoy having threesomes with both men and women. “It’s not controversial, man. The French have been doing ménage à trois for centuries,” Crosby explained about the song “Triad,” which he wrote for the Byrds in 1967. “It’s just unusual if you’re sexually very square. Lots of times, three people get together in a bed. I certainly wasn’t the only one doing it. It was fun to adventure back then. I continued being an adventurer for a long time, but my focus was really on obliterating [myself] with hard drugs. Once I got married to Jan, I never touched another woman, ever, at all.” When pressed by the interviewer if his male partners were “anybody we know,” Crosby demurred from saying anything else: “I’m not going to pull off anybody’s covers for you.” Consider this a rare instance of Crosby actually keeping his mouth shut . … [Read more...] about Why, Yes, David Crosby’s Threesomes Would Include Men

Heads for the Hills and Returns With a Feast for the Senses
Photo: Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw/Courtesy Sony Pictures Classics. When filmmakers Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw first wandered into the Piedmont mountains, they thought they’d fallen into a fairytale kingdom. The tiny, steep towns and foggy woods seemed to them to be a place out of time, an Italian Brigadoon dotted with people following the old ways like pressing their own wine and making their own clothes. Even more beguiling, the pair soon heard about certain men who hunt in those woods for the elusive Alba truffle, secretive foragers who search with their dogs by night, not even telling their families where they go. Dweck and Kershaw’s resulting documentary The Truffle Hunters follows several of the oldest of these men — like Carlo, the impish 88-year-old who sneaks out a window to go truffling, and Aurelio, who is a spry 84. The documentarians track the men and their dogs on their hunts, but they don’t actually try to uncover their mysteries. (I only worked out their names thanks to the press materials.) There’s therefore a lovely reticence in this quiet and beautiful film: It picks its way carefully, like a deer, trying not to disturb the enchantment. Life is not, of course, a fairytale. Even in the Alpine hills, existence cannot be all lamplit conversations over wine and piles of jewel-bright tomatoes and dogs staring dreamily into their owners’ faces. Cruelty encroaches, as does climate change. The white truffles that Carlo, Sergio (a relative youngster in his ‘60s), and Aurelio are hunting are tremendously valuable. Late in the film, we see a magnificent specimen displayed on a red velvet cushion at some kind of expo or auction — the film never really tells us where we are — which sells for over €100,000. Everyone notes that there are fewer full-grown truffles every year, that the dryer and warmer weather has disrupted their mysterious and un-cultivatable process. Competition is fierce. We hear that rival trufflers are violating … [Read more...] about Heads for the Hills and Returns With a Feast for the Senses
