    Popcorn & Punchlines: Discussing Comedies on Kanopy
    Jun 27 2025
    Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we dig up hidden gems, cult comedies, and laugh-out-loud classics — no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film fan, VHS romantic, and proud meme connoisseur) dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of comedy. From Buster Keaton’s silent-era stunts in Sherlock Jr. and a madcap treasure hunt in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World to DIY VHS spoofs in Be Kind Rewind, cult board game chaos in Clue, and the forever iconic teen masterpiece Clueless — Kristy and Jeff share the picks that still crack them up and remind us why laughter never goes out of style. If you need a break from doomscrolling or another sitcom rerun, let this episode guide you to comedies that hold up, surprise, and deserve a spot on your next movie night. Follow Kristy on Instagram @thekristypuchko and Letterboxd @kristypuchko. Follow Jeff on Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd @jeffrauseo. Follow Kanopy on Letterboxd to see the full episode list. Stream the films we mention for free at kanopy.com with a library card or university ID from a participating institution. 🎞️ Episode Highlights 01:00 — Sherlock Jr. (1924) Kristy goes deep on Buster Keaton’s stone-faced genius, death-defying stunts, and the timeless charm of silent slapstick. 05:20 — Be Kind Rewind (2008) Jeff rewinds to Jack Black and Mos Def’s DIY video store adventure, accidental “Sweeting,” and the magic of community-made movie homages. 09:00 — Paris When It Sizzles (1964) Kristy shares an underseen Audrey Hepburn screwball delight — a rom-com about writing a rom-com, with spies, vampires, and meta jokes galore. 12:25 — It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) Jeff breaks down the ultimate all-star comedy caper — car chases, chaos, Buster Keaton cameos, and the mother of all treasure hunts. 16:00 — Clue (1985) Kristy gushes about the cult classic murder mystery farce: Tim Curry’s iconic butler, three possible endings, and jokes you catch on the 20th watch. 19:00 — Masterminds (2016) Jeff recommends this awkward true-crime heist turned comedy of errors — complete with Zach Galifianakis, Kate McKinnon, and southern hijinks. 25:35 — Clueless (1995) Both hosts agree: the teen comedy that shaped a generation. Jane Austen, plaid skirts, a perfect Paul Rudd, and the insult that still stings.
