My name is Emma Kat, and I'm a standup comedian and writer from Austin, TX. Stupid Comedy Stuff is the podcast version of the noise in my noggin. In short, bimonthly episodes, I share my thoughts on comedic subjects ranging from the role of women in standup to my first experience with the catalogue of Pauly Shore. (Watching all the film-age!)

    Ice Princess

    After Hayden Panettiere's death on 8/16, I felt inspired to record an episode on the 2005 Disney film Ice Princess. I, too, was a teen figure skater, and I wanted to pay tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg and her co-star Hayden, who tore up the ice on celluloid while setting a new standard for female friendships.  In this episode, I'll briefly recap the movie, tell you some trivia I learned about it, and then share some of my experiences as a teen figure skater.  Sources: About.com interview with Michelle Trachtenberg: https://web.archive.org/web/20090425182233/http://movies.about.com/od/iceprincess/a/princssmt031205.htm Campus Circle interview with Michelle Trachtenberg: https://www.campuscircle.com/review.cfm?r=702 MTV.com interview with Michelle Trachtenberg: https://web.archive.org/web/20050315044312/http://www.mtv.com/shared/movies/interviews/t/trachtenberg_ice_princess_050311/ About.com interview with Hayden Panettiere: https://web.archive.org/web/20081201112615/http://movies.about.com/od/iceprincess/a/princsshp031205_2.htm People Magazine piece on Hayden's mother's statement: https://people.com/hayden-panettiere-estranged-mom-speaks-out-after-death-12061596 News article about Zahra Lari: https://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/04/17/208359 Terry Jinks obituary in Skating Magazine: https://skatingmagazine.usfigureskating.org/article/Skating_201508-09_25 Spread Eagle Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxlUk399JqI Hydro plane/blade Example: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=figure+skating+hydroblade Magical Rewind "Ice Princess" podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Rh06avd5cGZRfueJNBkod

    Role Models/David Wain

    Taste the beast! I'm finally back with a new episode, and I'm here to talk about the 2008 comedy "Role Models," and its amazing director, David Wain. He has a new movie out called "Gail Daughtery and the Celebrity Sex Pass," and since he's giving me countless hours of free entertainment, I figured I'd give him a free promo.  Please enjoy my little book report on this delightful film and a short biography of the man who made it.  Roger Ebert: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/role-models-2008 Paul McCartney/Wings: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2008/12/a-melodic-tribute-to-70sera-paul-mccartney?verso=true Mrs. Wain: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/palmbeachpost/name/nina-wain-obituary?id=22671412 Wain nose job: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/05/magazine/way-we-live-now-8-5-01-questions-for-david-wain-michael-showalter-camping-it-up.html Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20150527153151/https://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/05/magazine/way-we-live-now-8-5-01-questions-for-david-wain-michael-showalter-camping-it-up.htmlDirecting interest: https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/david-wain/bio/3000516578/ Bobb’e Thompson arrest: https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/25/role-models-star-bobbe-j-thompson-busted-gun-possession/ David Wain Bio: https://davidwain.com/bio Other David Wain arrest: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11816071

    Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

    Snootchie bootchies! In this episode, I discuss Kevin Smith's fan-service classic, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And on 4/20, because of course. As a kid in high school, I went through a big View Askewniverse phase, treating his movies almost like stoner-Shakespeare. I was a hopelessly uncool dork with almost no social life to speak of, but in Smith's sharply written world, I got to feel strangely adult.  Here, we'll look into accusations of homophobia against the film and director; the story of how Jason Mewes was touched by an angel; and take a peak at the director who inspired Smith to get started in the first place.

    Eurotrip

    Remember Eurotrip? It's a Millennial classic, and I'm here to unpack it. Like the kids in the movie, I'm venturing out to uncharted waters -- I'm just wearing more clothing while doing it. (With one glaring exception... you'll have to listen to find out!) I'm a podcasting greenhorn, so the audio quality is about as good as Scottie's relationship with Fiona. Regardless, if you wanna check out a cheeky movie recap, and get some wild facts along the way, then welcome aboard. We're taking a deep-dive in the history of the movie, the inspiration behind it, and figuring out exactly what the deal was with that French robot.

    Pilot

    Here's my podcasting debut! Your first episode is always your worst, right?  Welcome to "Stupid Comedy Stuff," a podcast hosted by me, Emma Kat. I'm a writer and comedian living in Austin, TX, and I've been obsessed with comedy for as long as I can remember. (I blame Adam Sandler). I used to be a comedy journalist, but now I'm launching this podcast to give me an outlet for waxing and rhapsodizing and other $10 words that really just mean "talking without a script."
