About In a World of...Improvised Movie Homages

The funny podcast that uses short form improv comedy games to tell long form improvised stories in the style of famous movies. Do you love movies? Are you a fan of short form improv comedy like Whose Line is it Anyway? Are you intrigued by the idea of long form improv comedy storytelling? Are you interested in storytelling and the creative process? Do you enjoy funny movie podcasts? Then this is the show for you! Join Avish Parashar (improv comedy performer and teacher and professional speaker) and Mike Worth (improv comedian and music composer of film, tv shows, and video games) build a "movie" on the spot, right before your very eyes - err - I mean "ears." Here's how our "improv comedy podcast" works: We start with a base genre and a couple of example movies, shows, or stories. Then the show is broken into segments: First, we brainstorm the tropes and standard elements of that style of show Second, we create a high level outline for this week's show. Third, we pick the improv games we will play to create this story Finally, we perform the show! All this is done in real time so you can observe the creative process and also enjoy the finish product.

   Bugged by Crime (In the Style of an 80’s “Sentient Car” TV Show Like “Knight Rider”)

   In a World of…criminals who operate above the law, one man, Simon, along with his sentient Volkswagen Minibus, is a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the Department of Unending Charity, Humanity, and Excellence. Stumbling on a plot where a small community is about to be devastated by an evil man who seeks to further his own ends, Simon must get involved and protect the innocent, the helpless and the powerless. This episode features the improv games Best of Times, Worst of Times, Last Letter, First Letter, 2-Word Typewriter, Pardon, and Cutting Room. About This Episode In this episode, we pay homage to Knight Rider (and other “vehicle based TV shows from the 80s…”). In the 80s, there was a string of TV shows featuring a man with a very cool vehicle, and each week he would arrive in a small town and stumble upon a criminal enterprise, usually where a rich powerful man was taking advantage of a good-hearted, community minded, small business owner. There was a LOT of shows like this, but only one with a sentient, talking car, so that’s the way we went!
