Just realized this year marks a decade since Dan Kois and I put out the Black Film Canon, an entry point to filmmaking history, and three years since we updated it. Love to see it's still be used as a reference point for movie enthusiasts!

I interviewed Matt and Jay
“Just for Laughs Gags doesn't get enough credit. We’ve never gone as far as they did in humiliating people, but there's a safety net in Canada — in Quebec clown culture — where you can do pranks without real reprisal.”
