Read: Marc Maron and Michael Ian Black blast each other on Twitter
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good old-fashioned comedian Twitter spar— although I feel this one between Marc Maron and Michael Ian Black has far less goodwill than Maron’s back-and-forth with Patton Oswalt last June. If you follow Maron even a little or have heard Maron’s interview with Black on WTF, you know the two have a somewhat sort-of-like/hate relationship— and that came through painfully clear in this interaction. It looks as though Maron and Black have cooled down for now. So, for your enjoyment and convenience, here’s the complete Maron/Black chit-chat.

Record a rant and win comedian Eddie Pepitone’s documentary The Bitter Buddha! (Contest)

Attention, Laughspinners who love free, quality comedy stuff! We’re giving away a download of the brilliant documentary The Bitter Buddha about comedian Eddie Pepitone. Featuring the likes of Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron, Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis and many more of your favorite comics, the film (by Steven Feinartz) explores the hyper-active and tortured mind of the veteran comic. You’ll follow him at home, onstage and everywhere in between.

So, how do you win? Well, we announced the contest at the start of the latest episode of The Laughspin Podcast – which you can hear on iTunes, Stitcher or SoundCloud – but we’ll lay it down for you here as well.

You’ll have to record yourself ranting for up to one minute (no longer!) about the thing in the world of comedy your most excited about this week—and email it to dylan@laughspin.com. Get passionate, creative, stupid—whatever. Maybe you’re excited to see a comedy flick (or already saw a great movie) or you’re stoked NBC renewed Community, or you just saw an amazing live stand-up show or you’re a comic and you wrote the best joke ever. It could be anything related to comedy— anything at all.

We’ll play our favorite rants on the next Laughspin Podcast and declare our favorite the winner. We’ll then coordinate with said winner to make sure he or she gets their prize. You could check out the trailer of The Bitter Buddha at the film’s official site and follow Eddie on Twitter at @EddiePepitone.

Laughspin.com editor Dylan Gadino sits down with South African comedian Trevor Noah, who’s bringing his live show ‘Born A Crime’ to New York City through June 8, 2013. The wide-ranging chat spans everything from Trevor being born to a black mother and white father during Apartheid (his mother was fined and jailed constantly) to American culture’s influence on the world, to his months-long tour with comedian Gabriel Igeslias and much more!
