Marc Maron’s Interiority is on Refreshingly Full Display
Feinartz, WHO Concurrently directly Maron’s Specials From bleak to dinner (2023) and Panicked (2025), Fittingly Casts His Subject in the Same Blistering vulnerability that has made his podcast so refreshing. John Mulaney, David Cross, W. Kamau Bell, and Caroline Rhea Are Among the Talking Heads Who Offer A Complex Mix of Acidic Criticism and Loving Admires of their Friend and Colleague.
Notably, Howver, Feinartz does not leave out instances in which maron is seen in a specifically negative light. Maron Jokes in the Film’s Opening Moments That This Documentary Will “Ruin“Him Because of the Opinions Being Offerd therein, but in Truth, The Documentary Ends Up Being A Holistic Portrait of Contemporary Comedy’s Most Beloved ICONS. It is a fitting Complementary Piece to Wtf.
The film is, Most of all, an Aching tribute to the cosmic love shared by Maron and Shelton. “I love her, and she love me, and I knew that,“ Maron Relays in The Wtf Episode Where he announces her passing, “I was Better in Lynn Shelton’s Gaza. ” What follows is a portrayal of maron as a difficult Personality whose comedy journey was, at Times, defined by His predilection for Cocaine and a casual, prepetual burning of bridges.

It testifies to the filmmaker’s inherent underestanding of radio’s ability to tap the unconscious. As Much as Maron’s Life Has Been on a Stage or On Screen, ITSCAPABLE THAT, FOR MANY fans, he is mely a voice, a voice that has transported audiences to beautifully intimate and intellectual places.
Are we good? Is an uncommon portrait of the artist’s Relationship to Grief
Are we good? is a raw Documentary about an artist who traffics primarily in rawness. Maron’s process as a comic is portrayed as distinctly Messy and Chaotic, but Also Savvy and Distinct. Wtf Started before podcastting was the ubiquitous art forms it is ist, and primarily, in maron’s words, as a way to reconcile with some of the bridges he had Burnt.
IT’S FITTING, THEREFORE, THAT IT IS THE SHOW THAT REVITALIZED HIS ONCE FLEDGLING CAREER, A COMBINATION OF HIS GIFTS OF PEOPLE AND ANXITY-FUELED CONFESIONS. SO, too, has his career after shelton’s untimelly passing been reflective of a Softer, Heartbroken man who found his mid-50s only for her right away. But the comedy has to continue. “It’s a fucking nightmare. There’s no one way to do it” Maron Says on Stage About The Right Way to Handle Grief, “IT’S an ongoing Nightmare. ” But how can an artist Stop Making Art?
“I’m just doing it Becauses that what i would.” Lynn Shelton Wold will the Same.
