Kate Berlant - Interview Magazine

[standupcomedyhistorian]

Good morning, everyone! 🌞

I'm feeling really excited about the theme this month on my website: KATE BERLANT! 💗

I met Kate in person in February after writing about her last year, and she is SO kind and friendly. Just a complete gem!

But not enough people know about her comedic genius!

Maybe you've seen her before but not known her name? She is the Garfield lady in I Think You Should Leave AND the kooky talent agent in The Other Two for starters.

However, she doesn't receive the same accolades as her peers like her frequent collaborator Bo Burnham and Jerrod Carmichael (who were both EPs on her comedy special along with The Bear's Chris Storer).

Seriously, how was Cinnamon in the Wind not nominated for an Emmy?! Complete nonsense.

This month, she is performing her PHENOMENAL one-woman play Kate in London. For any British readers, I urge you to get tickets if you can—it's an incredible immersive experience!

Anyway, here are the upcoming articles on my site about Kate for the month of September:

10 fun facts about Kate Berlant

A Kate Berlant primer (you might think you don't know her, but if you like comedies, TRUST ME...you've seen Kate haha)

Audience interviews for her NYC shows (similar to what I did for Rothaniel)

A Kate Berlant article a day

And just for fun—every Kate sticker or image I had noticed in my 3 times attending the show

I hope you enjoy this month's content (Kate certainly deserves all the praise and recognition), and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Hi, everyone!

Jerrod Carmichael was on Fallon yesterday to promote hosting the Golden Globes on Tuesday night (so excited for him!).

Here's the video 👀

Speaking of Jerrod, I was FLOORED by the fact that Rothaniel was the highest rated comedy special on Letterboxd's yearly roundup!

Looking at that list, Bo directed the top three specials of 2022.

Damn, that's impressive!

1. Rothaniel

2. The Inside Outtakes (obviously lol) &

3. Cinnamon in the Wind—He's a triple threat✌🏼

Hello I hope your doing well! I was wondering if it would be ok if I request headcannon for all the linked universe boys and how they react to having a reader tag along them that specializes in dark magic. If not feel free to ignore this have a great day/night! :)

note: for this, i’ll try to be as close to jojo’s chain as i can, following some of the comments i could find about it. turned out shorter than expected, but i hope you like it! gn!reader, platonic.

There’s going to be a wall between the two of you the moment the nature of your magic is known. And with many of them having experience with different types of magic, this happens pretty much since the start.

It’s not you he has a problem with, but your magic itself.

He’s one with the strongest bias against dark magic, from his own experiences with it.

But, even if he doesn’t exactly like you, he won’t force you to leave. Like everyone else, you have a reason to be with them and a common enemy.

He’s going to avoid you most of the time though, at least being alone with you.

If you need some help with your equipment he doesn’t mind helping, but he’s distant.

It’ll take a long time for him to trust you, and it depends on yourself if this happens during the journey or if you go back home before you can fix this mistrust.

He might make a comment or two sometimes, if he thinks you’re being too reckless with your magic.

Even if you’re a good person, dark magic can change even the purest of hearts.

He’ll be a little hesitant at first, dark magic is usually something he has to fight against, after all.

Won’t last long if you show that you only use it for good though!

You’re someone fighting for the kingdom, just like all of them, so you’re alright in his book, dark magic or not.

Enjoys talking about magic with you and Legend. He knows a fair bit himself, but who knows? He might learn some new spells that don’t need to be done with dark magic specifically.

Once you make it clear that the darkness in your magic doesn’t fog your judgement, he doesn’t see it as different from normal magic.

The two of you might team up often. Between your spells and his own, no monster will last in the battlefield.

Just like Hyrule, he’ll be unsure about how to react, but it also doesn’t last long.

As the veteran of the group, he has dealt with different types of magic and people, and he understands that the nature of one’s magic doesn’t have to be the same as their own.

So, as long as you don’t do anything reckless, he won’t do anything against your dark magic.

What’s more, he’d love to ask you about any items or interesting spells you know!

He probably won’t use them, but some knowledge is never bad.

He’ll also defend you from some of the others who dislike dark magic.

Once again, just because dark magic is your specialty, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

You won’t have his full trust, that’s something you need to earn, but he won’t treat you differently.

The chosen hero doesn’t have as much experience as many of the others, but he cares more about you than your magic.

You’re a good person fighting to save your home? That’s great!

He’ll have to be careful when handling the master sword around you, just in case.

He finds magic interesting, so feel free to show him some small tricks you can do.

Similar to Legend, he will defend you if others say anything about the nature of your magic.

Might asks you some questions to see if there are any similarities between your magic and the one his Zelda is learning how to wield properly.

Maybe the two of you can talk about it if you end up in his era!

Honestly, he can only compare your magic to Ghirahim’s or maybe Demise’s, but you’re obviously not like them.

He’s cautious, but doesn’t mind giving you a chance.

Dark magic is both dangerous and powerful, most times (if not always) it means sacrifice. He wonders how much you had to sacrifice to specialize in this type of magic.

He keeps his eye on you. Because he doesn’t fully trust you or because he’s worried about you? Only he knows.

Feel free to talk to him about your magic. He may not understand everything, but he can lend you an ear.

He’d rather you don’t use your magic too much, dark magic can consume someone rather quickly.

If this isn’t something that could happen to you, whatever the reason, tell him so. This way he won’t be as protective.

Conflicted. It would depend on the real source of your magic.

He himself has an item brimming with dark magic, but it’s twili magic.

If you confirm that it’s not magic to harm anyone else but the monsters trying to bring ruin to the kingdom, then he will give you his trust.

He wonders how similar your magic is to the one he’s seen and experienced.

He prefers to avoid most of it though, like most magic items.

So, even if he doesn’t mind it, he’d rather not have much to do with anything concerning your use of magic.

Tries not to say much if there’s a discussion about dark magic, he doesn’t want to slip up about Wolfie.

Talking about the wolf, you definitely knew it was him the moment you saw the large animal appear in the camp.

The magic in his pendant is hard to miss.

Much more conflicted than Twilight, due to personal reasons.

Cia’s dark magic will forever stay in his mind when it’s mentioned, even if he knows you are nothing like her.

It was a hard time, and all he could see and feel was her magic around the battlefield.

Then there were the dark versions of himself, made of his foolish actions and her magic.

It’ll take quite a while, and his trust in you may be shaky, but he’ll try to ignore his bias against it if he can see you’re a good person.

You are allies, and he doesn’t want to let his past struggles blind him.

If you avoid using much of your magic around him, with battles being an exception, he’d be grateful.

As long as you remain as someone fighting by his side, he’ll do his best to get along with you.

He may be a little unsure about how to feel about your magic, but will soon compare it to the one that lets Twilight change forms.

Your magic is nothing like the one he’s dealt with him. It may be dark, but it isn’t heartless.

Once he gets a bit more used to it, he’s definitely going to ask you a few questions!

Both to satiate his own curiosity and because he thinks his Zelda would also be interested.

With your permission, he’ll share the information with her. It could help with something.

Would like to watch if you train using your magic, he thinks it’s pretty cool.

Definitely asks if you can turn yourself into an animal just like a certain someone.

He thinks it’s really cool!

Look, he isn’t dumb. Dark magic is usually tied to monsters, but he can see that you aren’t a bad person, so let him have some fun.

He joins Wild when you’re training, it’s almost like you’re performing for them at this point.

Do you have any interesting stories about your magic to tell? He wants to know!

Overall, the one who cares the least about the nature of your magic.

You aren’t hurting anyone (except your enemies, of course) so why would he care?

Magic is magic, even if they’re from different sources.

Cinnamon

Don't ask me what they're making, I don't know.

I know it doesn't really make sense for "cinnamon" but whatever, it's cute.

[sailforvalinor]

Time, scolding the boys: “For the past few months I have done the best I can to raise you. Have I been perfect? No. Do I know anything about children? No. Should I have picked up a book on parenting? PROBABLY!”

Time: “…where was I going with this? I had a point.”

Twilight: “Sorry.”

Wind: “We love you, Dad.”

Time: *angrily* “WELL I LOVE YOU, TOO!”

[randombyrobin]

My love HAHAHSHSHD

the generational trauma of it all

cinnamon (day 9)

Inspired by a true experience that happened to me a few years ago, don’t eat raw cinnamon

aka four learns he hates cinnamon.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Four gazed cautiously at the spoon being held out to him. Recently at the market, Wild managed to get his hands on cinnamon, and as he explains it, it’s a very powerful spice. 

The captain simply just smirked, and urged the spoon into Four’s hands, “Trust me, it’s probably harmless, what’s the worst that could happen?” The brown powder stood still on the teaspoon, “Come on! We fought monsters before, this is like nothing compared to that.” 

“You can do it!” Wind cheered, “Rulie over here eats rocks and it’s fine! And you’ve seen how much Goron Spice the champion uses!” That is true. It couldn’t possibly kill him, but just eating powder? It didn’t feel safe. 

“I…” Four watched the small group stare him down. If anything, he knew he wouldn’t get out of this without doing something, “Fine, only a little spoonful.” 

The ending, was nothing like Four expected. Of course he expected it to taste absolutely horrid. Any green pepper would have been way better than what he had tasted. 

His lungs felt as if they collapsed on him, and his throat closed up before he could even get a breath. “Why…”the smith coughed, dropping the rest of the remaining cinnamon on the spoon onto the ground, “Why did I- agree to this?” 

“Wars, is he okay?” Wind grabbed the captains scarf, “He really doesn’t look okay.” 

Warriors, quickly realizing his mistake, began to aggressively pat Four on the back, “Crud, didn’t mean for this to happen, sorry smithy.” 

The smith just gave a quick nod in response as he tried to focus on breathing. One thing learned though, he hates cinnamon.

It's still Kate Berlant Month on my website, and I have a new article up: 10 fun facts about Kate!

You can find out about her acting career, her amazingly creative family (hint: they have a connection to the king of mockumentaries haha), and her relationships with other famous comedians, including Bo Burnham (she says he runs comedy right now lol), Reggie Watts, Rory Scovel, Sarah Silverman, and site-favorite Maria Bamford.

Enjoy, and keep it here for more Kate Berlant and comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

[boburnhamhistorian]

Hi, everyone! There are two newish articles that feature Bo and his works this week:

The Best of 2022 lists are starting to pour in and—to the surprise of no one—Jerrod Carmichael's Rothaniel has been chosen the Best Special of the year by the New York Times! 🙌🏼

Here's what Jason Zinoman said about the special directed AND edited by Bo:

It’s not often that “beautiful” is the first word that comes to mind about a stand-up special. For some, that might even sound like a backhanded compliment. When did beauty ever make you laugh? But Jerrod Carmichael’s “Rothaniel,” a radically intimate, cinematically shot production, is a departure for him and stand-up more broadly. Its melancholy tone and patient pace set up new kinds of clever jokes. And its exquisite aesthetic features stunning and unexpected shots staged by the director, Bo Burnham, that emphasize the theme of mystery and secrets. Carmichael’s language manages to be unorthodox and elegant, and the way he interacts with the audience displays a vulnerability that is as moving as it is funny. (Streaming on HBO Max.)

If you'd like to learn more about Jerrod's special, I highly recommend my series of interviews with audience members who attended one of the four tapings.

The article similarly mentions the recipient of Best Nonsense is Kate Berlant's Cinnamon in the Wind, which was another comedy special directed by Bo (albeit in 2019!):

Kate Berlant had a breakthrough year primarily because of her hit live show, but she also released a sketch-driven special (with John Early) and a black-and-white stand-up hour on FX on Hulu, “Cinnamon in the Wind,” which captured her riveting comedy of the past decade. It comes off as entirely improvised (“I don’t want to belittle what we have,” she tells to the audience, “with material.”). Fans will recognize how she takes a cliché, twists it just enough to seem off — but not so much as to be a straight spoof. “I don’t know if anything has ever happened to anyone here,” she says and then stops. “I don’t want to assume.” (Streaming on Hulu.)

The other item is a recent Cracked article about the prescient nature of Zach Stone, featuring quotes from one of the show's writers (obviously NOT Bo). You can check it out here!

Happy Father's day, Everyone!!!

Same as Mother's Day, here's a few of my hcs for Crk/Crob dads/ father figures!! There's surprisingly a lot of dads in Cookie run, but I had to little it down to just 6.

Dark Choco and Werewolf are being dads to their group of choatic kids, Roll Cake, Cherry Bomb, Pinecone and Pancake!!

Cinnamon Is Pumpkin Pie's uncle/ guardian!! She and Ponpom are his little assistants during magic shows!!

Butterbear Cookie with his greatest present he ever received, his lovely and curious daughter Lollipop!!

Tea Knight is proud father of both Knight and Madeleine!!! He's amazed of how far they've gotten as knights themselves.

Wind Archer is still trying to be good dad to Beet, but it doesnt mean he doesnt love his dughter Beet. Its a bot hard for him to show affection, but he is impressed by her archery skills.

Captain Caviar is a proud Papa to Sorbet Shark, despite not liking the mwr-shark wanting to become a pirate. He's also a great uncle figure to Clotted Cream, especially when he's had a tough time with the Elder Custard.
