God, I loved this. Everybody's so perfectly cast, the story is so simple but screwy and enticing with plenty of little turns peppered into its short runtime, and I laughed out loud several times, including one big guffaw at a great Chickenfoot joke I did not see coming.…

With a zany & metaphorically rich script, a brilliantly acerbic Marc Maron (everything this man touches is comedic gold & infused with poignant jadedness, too), a hilarious supporting ensemble, and a refreshingly quirky setting (we don’t get movies set in Birmingham, AL…

I don't want to review this movie one way or the other because Ms. Shelton is a friend. But I will say that Toby Huss is in it playing a guy named Hog Jaws.

67/100 A.V. Club review. Shelton’s best since Humpday, confirming Maron as a genuine actor who can be riotously funny one moment and deeply human the next, without contradiction. Happy to see her return to improv, which she still orchestrates superlatively.

Marc Maron failing to comprehend contemporary things like WhatsApp or Escape Rooms and being all around curmudgeonly is always entertaining. Plus he can nail emotional world weariness so convincingly. An engaging mix of characters on a strange journey. I could watch…

There's not a whole lot going on here, but Lynn Shelton keeps every moment of it entertaining. Much like all her mumblecore efforts, the dialogue is primarily improvised and even as the plot starts to fumble around the cast still keeps Sword of Trust going. I think we…

A movie that delves into conspiracy theories and the value of family. I'm not sure why IMDB has this tagged as a drama as it's obvious that they're going for laughs and not serious about "flat-earth" and other theories like that. Cynthia (Jillian Bell) and Mary…

Just give me a whole series where Marc Maron attempts to assign pawn shop cash value to various pieces of Deep State history already.

Absolutely briliant little film. Not much of a plot, just a strange situation with a sword that these characters find themselves in. This film is all about the dialogue, the film being mostly just scenes where its in one location for a long time, like a play. The main…
