Ian and Sujewa welcome writer/director Tim Lightell to discuss his outrageous indie film, Manbaby!

Sal (Asa Fager) is a stand-up comedian whose stage gimmick is dressing like an overgrown baby. His wife, Dana (Sidney Jayne Hunt), is a research scientist who specializes in hormones. The two can't agree on whether or not to have kids--so Sal hatches a plot to bring out Deanna's maternal instincts by making her believe he's regressed to infancy. From here, Manbaby gets weird...

In today's episode, Tim talks about the surprising origins of the "Manbaby" character; his decade-long journey to complete the film; and the upcoming 4/20 screening at Brooklyn's Film Noir Cinema.

Plus: Sujewa talks about Cosmic Disco Detective Rene's newfound success on YouTube, and Ian (reluctantly) shares his thoughts on Manbaby!
