And now the thrilling conclusion of improv4humans LIVE from the Del Close Marathon! More improvisers (like Mike Delaney from The Stepfathers and The Swarm), more stories, more scenes, more laughs! How can you go wrong?

True Fact: We all love Tig! Spend some time with Tig as she shares stories with us about her gratitude and support from good friends and how her peers are reaching out. Today’s episode also has a B-side as we check in with the professor to have a chat about Autism with our guest Steven Yates. Steven chats with Tig, Kyle, and David about raising a child with autism, self-awareness, and perseverance.

If you've ever wanted to watch crappy movies with the industry's best comedians, you are in luck! Paul Scheer has vowed to watch the worst garbage Hollywood can produce and report back to us with the results. June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas will join him to watch the first selection: Burlesque! Come back next week to hear everyone has to say about it.

Two first time guests join us on this episode of Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast. The co-host is none other than Mr. Show alumni Brian Posehn. The other, noted food critic Merrill Shindler, sits down to talk about some of his favorite places to eat around Los Angeles. Both of these guys are such long-time friends of Scott's that they are actually able to go back in time to one of the darker days of Scott's life.

Summer is winding down and you have time for one last big-budget action thriller! Sorry, we can't help you with that. Instead we have a meager-budget alien movie without a compelling story, relatable characters, or cool looking aliens. The Brothers Strause have done it again! Skyline is the movie and our guest is Jordan Morris from Jordan, Jesse Go! and All About Steve. The plot is unbelievable, the dialogue is atrocious, Jason is angry, Paul is confused, what more could you want? Jordan talking about his experience on All About Steve? Well you got it!

Whether or not you believe in God, you'd better believe that we have a brand new Professor Blastoff for you! And even if you don't think Jesus was the son of God, you can know for sure that Marty Yu is our guest this week! Learn the difference between agnosticism and atheism, why critical thinking matters, and how morality impacts our society regardless of your own theological state.

Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast FINALLY gets the guest you have all been waiting for: Rocky Aukerman! Scott's adorable Boston Terrier will keep you company through this week's episode. He's there while Jason Mantzoukas tells us about his role on this season of The League. He hangs around silently while Bill Carter of Trainer for the Stars, Seeking Stars.org tells us about training his celebrity clientele (spoiler: It's all about getting your heart rate up!), using black magic, and what it was like for him growing up without cell phones and Tivo. It isn't hard to imagine Rocky curling up in your lap to hear the traditional Irish storytelling of Patrick McMahon, and then getting up and leaving when Patrick starts composing his own impromptu limericks. If you listen closely, you can very faintly hear Rocky telling you all to check out the Earwolf store for awesome podcast merchandise.

I know, I know, you guys are tired of these drop-in's from Scott's ex-step-father, but for whatever reason Bob Ducca won't stay away. But please don't ignore the episode just because of that! Jason Mantzoukas talks about working with Scott on the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and Natasha Leggero gives her opinion about how women can get what they want. Plus, there's jizz talk!

Blow your nose and tune into the best podcast in the universe!

They say all musicians secretly want to be comedians, but today's guests do not seem to keep any secret of their comedic leanings. Aimee Mann, Ted Leo, and Jon Wurster all have serious comedy cred, between touring with Paul F. Tompkins, making music videos with Paul F. Tompkins, and performing on radio shows with Paul F. Tompkins. Speaking of Paul F. Tompkins, artist Mr. Brainwash makes his first appearance to discuss making art (and science) for the people. Listen to musicians doing what they do best (critiquing music), and what they do worst (short-form improv), and french artists doing what they do best (pronouncing the word 'mustard') and what they do worst (pronouncing the word 'mustard').

Slight-of-hand, illusions, the occult, what does it all mean? It's magic, and our guest this week is a master of it. Derek Hughes joins us on Professor Blastoff to share SOME of the secrets of the trade (no, he won't explain his tricks) from apprenticeships to dealing with skeptics. Perhaps he'll make a believer out of you!

This week's How Did This Get Made? is the first of its kind. Our guests are Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone and Patton Oswalt, one of the movie's most vocal supporters. Together with Paul and June (unfortunately Jason had to miss this one) they honestly explain how this movie got made: From the very first pitch meetings to the week after it was released. Hear how unfortunate timing, poor marketing, and mixed expectations affected the success of one of the coolest, craziest, most fun comic book adaptations of the decade (at least).
