The Bitter Buddha

I became a Pepitone fan through his amazing segments on WTF with Marc Maron, so I really enjoyed this film. As someone who dreams of pursuing standup comedy, any inside look in the field is interesting, but it's especially true in Pepitone's case. This is a man who has been on the periphery of stardom for so long. Any one else would have given up, but his drive for comedy is neverending. Throw in the little details - like that he feeds squirrels in the park - and you've got a great subject.

Highly recommended for any fan of stand up comedy. Pepitone is hilarious but real, a quality that makes him deserving of a feature length documentary.
