Freaks and Geeks
I Found This Funny: The Comedy World of Judd Apatow
July 10 - 14, 2015
Free marathon!
Though it was canceled by NBC in 2000 before the completion of its lone season, frequent Apatow collaborator Paul Feig’s series—executive-produced by Apatow and featuring many of the actors who would go on to comprise his stock company—has become one of the key texts of recent pop culture. The Film Society is pleased to present every episode of Freak and Geeks in our Amphitheater.
Free marathon!
Though it was canceled by NBC in 2000 before the completion of its lone season, frequent Apatow collaborator Paul Feig’s series—executive-produced by Apatow and featuring many of the performers (Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, Martin Starr) who would go on to comprise his stock company—has become one of the key texts of recent pop culture. The show’s rabid following has only increased in the years since its cancellation, and it now ranks among the most beloved television series of all time. Simply put, few works of art have captured the uncertainty, frustration, and absurdity of the American high-school experience with so much sophistication, honesty, and sweetness, wondrously embodied by its sibling protagonists, Lindsay (Linda Cardellini) and Sam Weir (John Francis Daley). The Film Society is pleased to present every episode of Freak and Geeks in our Amphitheater.
Admission to the marathon will be on a space available basis.
Schedule:
Saturday, July 11 starting at 3:00pm: Episodes 1 – 9
Sunday, July 12 starting at 3:00pm: Episodes 10 – 18
