  Here is a link to my presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/188g6eyTER9xvbGFDfBbgKowVvHxEhahmx4ZLvNAUaSA/edit?usp=sharing The pieces of media I referenced in my presentation were: Three Busy Debras - If you only watch one of the things I've recommended here, it should be Three Busy Debras. Really amazing surrealist, feminist sketch comedy which follows the lives of three women named Debra as they navigate their fanciful lives in the town of Lemoncurd. Available on HBO Max.  Sorry to Bother You  - This film embodies a lot of the key aspects of both surreal comedy as well as horror, from a Marxist perspective. The film follows a telemarketer named Cassius as he begins to climb the ranks of corporate America, against a backdrop of an alternative version of Oakland, California. Available a couple places online. I Think You Should Leave - Another sketch comedy show - this one definitely veers a bit more into the wacky side, but in the context of examining ...

Presentation  

Listen to the full soundtrack of Book of Mormon (in order):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmp-xmguqh4&list=PLdUWNyk3iEfpRBJ9h13xP-FqcMxzXhNsU Watch:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m-gO0HSCYk And:  "Nate - A One-Man Show" - on Netflix  Prepare a 1-minute spiel in nose, using found text from the flag-at-graduation thread.   

 Besides your 5 MINUTE PRESENTATION:  Watch Plan B by Maria Bamford  and  Richard Pryor Live in Concert (1979).  Both are on the hard drive in the library, but the Pryor one is also on Netflix if you have access to that.  Like I said, there will be some stuff you find offensive in the Pryor piece, but you have to watch it.  Also,  reminder that the presentation must be between 4:40 and 5:00 (not including setup). No shorter, no longer. This is practice for fitting things into time constraints.  If you need a powerpoint presentation but don't have a computer that connects to the HMDI, you can email it to me and I can open it on mine. See you then!
