In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I speak with writer and executive producer David Mandel, known for his work on iconic comedies like Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Veep. The conversation explores Mandel's early influences, his transition from television to film, the differences in production between the two mediums, and the importance of ensemble casts in comedy. We also delve into the themes of absurdist humor and the creative process behind writing for television and film. Mandel discusses the balance between humor and storytelling in his work, the significance of age in experiencing Star Wars, and the thrill of the hunt in collecting. All my linksThanks to both David Mandel and Jim Maxwell for being great!This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.
