\n\tMarc Maron<\/a> reflects on his career as a stand-up comic and podcast pioneer, while confronting the tensions between grief and comedy, in the new trailer<\/a> for the upcoming documentary, Are We Good?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clip, premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone, offers the first wide look at the highly anticipated film, which premiered earlier this year at South by Southwest. Directed by Steven Feinartz, the film is as much a deep dive into Maron\u2019s unique career as it is a chronicle of one of the most challenging moments of his life after the death of his partner, filmmaker Lynn Shelton<\/a>, in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing a great opening sequence in which Maron scolds his cats, the first half of the trailer focuses on the comedian\u2019s career as he talks frankly about how hitting his stand-up ceiling led him to start his popular interview podcast, WTF. \u201cI couldn\u2019t draw [crowds] no matter how many Conans I did,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd that was part of the beginning of the podcast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHighlighting just how profound a change this turned out to be, John Mulaney shows up to say, \u201cThere\u2019s that Lou Reed line, \u2018I accept the new found man.\u2019 And that is what Marc became.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBut things get a bit heavier in the second half of the clip as Maron confronts his disillusionment, both on a political<\/a> and personal level. Referring to Shelton\u2019s death at the beginning of the pandemic, he says, \u201cI don\u2019t know how to talk about some of the stuff that I went through. I don\u2019t even know if it\u2019s appropriate to do it. You know, when do I write a joke? When does the funny happen? I\u2019m clearly dealing with grief and sadness by overcompensating with anger and funny.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Mulaney, Are We Good? will feature interviews with Maron\u2019s fellow comics like David Cross and Nate Bargatze. It\u2019ll also include footage from several of Maron\u2019s biggest WTF interviews, such as with Barack Obama<\/a>, Andrew Garfield, and Patton Oswalt.<\/p>\n

\n\tAre We Good? will open in theaters Oct. 3, with tickets on sale<\/a> now. The film\u2019s arrival coincides with the end of WTF, which is set to air its final episode<\/a> after 16 years this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marc Maron reflects on his career as a stand-up comic and podcast pioneer, while confronting the tensions between…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,2982,409,111,139,69,2983],"class_list":["post-1935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-marc-maron","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-trailer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
