The Fighter & the Kid 3D

As somebody who doesn't listen to Brandon Schaub and Bryan Callen's podcast, this project does nothing for me. The episode "Sitcom" in which they rip off Charlie Kaufman, Mr. Show, and even The Matrix in under 5 minutes best sums up why this doesn't work. They deride conventional formulas without realizing that you can't experiment until you're comfortable with the basics. No amount of untimely movie references or over the top fever dream sequences can change that this feels amateur and passionless. Callen's acting is rather campy which at least offers something better than Brandon's insecure middle-school-play performances. I will say the production value is better than expected. That FOX money made this look a lot better than Youtube sketch comedy of this caliber ever should.

Maybe check it out if you're a fan of their podcast. Otherwise, I'd recommend some of Mitch Rouse's more serious work, especially Strangers with Candy.
