Today we have Chicago comedy veteran Justin Golak! Justin has been in the game for over a decade and has many nuggets of wisdom to share. You can find him on stages all over the country, as well as local shows and mics in Chicago. His websites are JustinGolak.com, and Lo-Class.com, where you can find links to his podcasts including Safe Space, his albums, and writings. Influenced by George Carlin and Chris Rock, Justin is a self-described “state-educated college bro” who likes to walk a political tightrope during his sets. Here he is at CAMP comedy show, at the Village Tap in the summer of 2018.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 438  This week we welcome the return of comedian Justin Golak to discuss this week's Sofa Theater feature: Ryan Coogler's Creed. Plus we go into some of the other movies we've seen recently, if it's worth getting a MoviePass and just what is the state of the modern comedy films these days.   And as we compare and contrast the modern-era Rockys, we also bring up... Blockers, Rampage, Game Night, The Death of Stalin, Super Troopers 2, like a puppy, too far Germany, the last days of me, they can't not do it, the music, Black Panther, born and bred, I think it's the best comedy on television now, convince the viewer, weathered wisdom, I've made a commitment to the future, Chris Rock, bold move as a mom, there's a lot of real tissue connected to that fictional story, Mystery Team, it's such a legacy film, you can't out-train it... you can't outlast it, this many years in, Tessa Thompson, twelve rounds for this man to prove that he is worthy of being alive, it was like... funnier than you maybe would have wanted to think it was, I think it's what was written that drove his performance, a weird real world level, he's frustratingly likeable, Cobra Kai in Russia, Phylicia Rashad, theater combat, they're different versions of a fighter, boxing has just changed so much over the years, the editing, it still works, it's cool to see the city you live in torn apart, Ivan Drago, The Rock, Veep, we're in like... the triple part of the triple axel, you never wanna see the wrestlers that don't plan for their future and somewhere called Vancouver.  "...to me, this is the hardest move for a franchise to make."   For more info on Justin and his comedy, go to: http://justingolak.com/

Creed and Justin Golak

Movie Meltdown - Episode 369 This week we are joined by our special guest co-host comedian Justin Golak, as we discuss one of his favorite movies - Rocky. We look at not just the movie itself, but also it's impact on pop culture - and just how much we actually remember based on how much Rocky has seeped into the public consciousness. Plus we also look at how this first installment fits into the long-running series that will continue over the next 40 years.  And as we discuss Stallone-adjacent characters, we also mention... comedy or baseball, cable the way it used to be, arm wrestling is the thing, reading comprehension, Ghostbusters 2, organized crime, garblyness, it's very different going back and rewatching it now... having not seen it in years, how do you fight you, creating a rig for the scene, the sub-genre of boxing movies, Survivor, escaping Cleveland, music video culture, Cobra, drinking raw eggs, on VHS taped from TV, I want to be better, Thunderlips, being weird and awkward, Over the Top, three pages of dialogue in ten seconds of body language, spattered with training, running with your girlfriend up the stairs, at every turn... he makes a different choice, Copland, going heel, it's essentially an origin story... but you didn't know that if you didn't know there's be sequels, novelizations, outsourcing the property, Apollo Creed, being literal, Irwin Winkler, forceps, Ruskies, office sign dialogue, Batman Begins, this is like a thing everyone will do forever now, losing the right way, getting your hands bloody, that's a real person and all art is drug-fueled from the beginning of time. Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for Rocky... and the entire franchise. You have been warned.   "I'm a huge fan... it's the only thing I geek out about... it's like my Star Wars."
