Henry Rollins: Shock & Awe (V)

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Henry Rollins has more than ever to rant about in this performance from his recent Shock & Awe Tour, its title irreverently inspired by George Bush’s early predictions of the Iraqi War’s impact. With all the ferocious energy of his days as a front man for the punk group Black Flag, Rollins scathingly draws observations from his recent USO tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also tears across the American political and cultural landscape and ventures into more personal territory, talking about his eclectic career from music to books to TV and film, sharing his fascinating insights from traveling the world and revealing his hilariously unsuccessful search for love. Filmed at the Paramount Theater in Seattle on his spoken word tour.

Bill Maher: I’m Swiss (TV)

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Political comedy about the Government (domestic and foreign policies), the president, the public’s own ignorance and faults, and so forth. He also makes some hilarious detours in his own renditions of rap lyrics read out in proper, coherent (non-Ebonic) language. There are also some very poignant pieces on Bush, religion, drugs (notably marijuana), which then link to homeland security. Unlike a comedian like George Carlin who may go from topics in the ‘big world’ in his act to things in the ‘little world’ like spotting the random things in life, Maher is very much a comedian of the times, on the attack but clear about his political allegiances.
