How Maria Bamford Became Every Comedian’s Favorite Comedian | Obsessed: The Podcast

January 29
38 mins

Episode Description

This episode of Obsessed heads to Sundance for a deep dive into the festival’s final year in Park City—breaking down the buzziest films, the glamour-versus-grind reality of the fest, and what Sundance still means for indie cinema as it prepares to move on. Then, comedian and actress Maria Bamford joins the show to talk about premiering her deeply personal documentary Paralyzed by Hope at Sundance, reflecting on vulnerability, career highs and lows, and the moments she wishes audiences had missed. From Oscar chatter to emotional honesty, it’s a Sundance episode that’s both inside baseball and disarmingly human.
