Rosebud Baker's Movie and Ben's Directorial Debut
from Private Prison Penthouse | The Tim Dillon Show #312 · #312

Tim jokes about Stranger Things kids aging into divorce, then riffs on comedian Rosebud Baker's new horror-comedy film "Hell of a Summer," before pivoting to mock-praising Ben for directing the Netflix special and his family's proud social media tags, plus confusion over Tim's agent getting a "special thanks" credit.
- Rosebud Baker just directed a movie, and Tim wonders why he wasn't cast in it.
- The film is called Hell of a Summer, a horror comedy with plot details kept secret.
- Tim's take: horror comedies are almost always bad, though a few like Shaun of the Dead work.
- Ben directed Tim's Netflix special, which Tim describes as standing a camera at a stage—one of the hardest things ever done.
- The cinematographers had only shot eight specials total for Joe Rogan and Louis C.K., so Ben's main job was making sure they pointed cameras at the stage.
- Tim's family is extremely proud of Ben's directing credit, though Tim questions whether they realize any of them could have done it too.
- Tim's agent listed himself in special thanks on the Netflix credits despite not being involved in directing, which Tim finds absurd.
- Tim acknowledges directing a comedy special—pointing cameras at a stage for an hour—is genuinely difficult and he's grateful Ben did it well.
