Tim argues that podcasting killed late-night TV but comedians still haven't figured out how to make a great outrageous R-rated comedy movie, and predicts whoever does will be a game-changer, name-checking Bill Burr.
- A comedian from the current scene who figures out how to fund and make a movie will be a game changer.
- Modern comedies aren't funny anymore; the next ones need to be genuinely funny and edgy, with nudity and explicit content.
- Breasts and trans nudity should make a comeback in comedy films, citing Porky's and Kentucky Fried Movie as reference points.
- The next impactful movies will be outrageous and politically incorrect, depicting real-life depravity.
- Comedians have essentially replaced late-night TV with podcasts; late night no longer matters.
- Movies require significant funding and involve complex logistics, which is where comedians have struggled.
- Someone building a film from the ground up and selling it independently will change the game.
- Tim says it won't be him who makes that breakthrough independent comedy film.
