Eww, That’s Gross. And We Like It That Way.
Why the tasteless humor of “Bad Trip,” starring Eric Andre, is a feat to be celebrated. Few can pull off transgression so skillfully.

If the comedy “Bad Trip” had premiered in theaters as intended until it moved to Netflix because of the pandemic, one already notorious scene would have surely sent crowds into a frenzy of groans and laughter. It involves an encounter between Eric Andre and a gorilla best not described in a family newspaper. Skillfully paced, preposterously tasteless, it’s a sequence that will alienate a portion of its audience, while cementing a cult reputation with another.

RIP Gary Leib, New York Filmmaker, Animator, And Cartoonist, 65

Multi-talented and creatively restless, Leib made waves in the music, comic, and animation worlds, often combining disciplines within one project. But whether he was creating artwork for the live-action feature
American Ultra (2015) or animating a music video for his ambient-country band Suss, his humorous, generous, often absurdist worldview always shone through.
Gary David Leib was born in Chicago on October 29, 1955 two days before Halloween, a celebration with which he would develop a close affinity. He grew up in Lincolnwood, Illinois, then attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 1977 with a BFA in printmaking. At the school he met his future wife, the painter Judy Glantzman, as well as Doug Allen, who would become a key creative partner.
