National Lampoon's story is even wilder than you think
'Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead' takes us into the raunchy, horny and brilliant madhouse that changed the face of comedy.
How would you summarize the legacy of National Lampoon magazine in four words? For Doug Tirola, they'd be Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead.
The filmmaker joins guest host Gill Deacon to discuss his new documentary about the raunchy, comedic madhouse. Lampoon alumna and documentary subject Janis Hirsch also weighs in with anecdotes about "Chubby Chase", casual arson, and little surprises sent in by readers.
"The things that used to come to the mail in the Lampoon," she recalls. "Feces and worse!"
