I review lots of stand up docs because it’s a profession and calling that I find fascinating.

There were nights, earlier in my career, when I’d sit down with a stand-up before his or her set in a club, interview them and then we’d watch the opening acts. They’d do a play-by-play of the openers, what was working and what wasn’t and how soon the performer would be desperate enough to fling a “d–k joke” at the great unwashed masses.

Never got to do that with Marc Maron, but he’s been a favorite forever — dyspeptic, never that successful, then he discovered podcasting (his definition of it and its relation to radio in this trailer is spot on).

He’s testy, funny, heart-on-his-sleeve personal and a comedy sage at this stage in his life.

“Are We Good?” goes into limited release in early October. Hey Utopia, got screener links of this title? Hit me with one!
