Maria Bamford Documentary. Releases October 23rd on Netflix Maria Bamford has been one of my favorite comedians for probably 20 years now. There is no one like her, and there will never be another like her. So creative and vulnerable all while being so silly and relatable. 

Judd Apatow took the time to make a documentary about her life and career, and I am so grateful that he did. It comes out October 23rd on Netflix and y’all should absolutely watch it.

And while you’re at it, go back and watch any of the many hours and half hours Maria has released over her almost 40 years performing stand up. And if you ever get the chance, go see her perform live. She is truly one of a kind.

I’m so excited for this

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
