You know how sometimes life just ... breaks? Nick Kroll has penned a new comedy about just that.

In his subtle new film, Adult Beginners, Kroll plays a grown man with almost no self awareness — an entrepreneur forced to depend on his older sister after his tech business tanks. 

Kroll joins Shad to reflect on the constant state of starting over, his attraction to clueless characters and why sometimes, just sometimes, it's better to be kind of dumb. 

WEB EXTRA | For three years,  Kroll took sketch comedy to weird and wonderful places on the Comedy Central program The Kroll Show. As mentioned on air, here's the viral, Degrassi-inspired sketch, Wheels Ontario.
