Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
To paraphrase Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine: Peace sells, but who’s Brian? Even if Posehn’s name is unfamiliar, you’ll likely recognize the balding, heavyset, bespectacled comedian from Mr. Show and innumerable VH1 I Love the … specials. The pothead pop-culture pundit describes himself as a “stoned, angry-looking heavy-metal geek,” though he surprisingly has a real life. The misanthrope recently married above (read: below) his weight class, but retained his bitterness. Live In: Nerd Rage finds him riffing on domestic life, comparing the Star Wars trilogy to a sexual assault, and imagining a future where grown men fetishize Iraqi anime.
