The Joanne Holiday Show

Michael Cavadias plays Dennis, a man who hasn't spoken in 23 years. He goes to see a new therapist and finds that her office is a television talk show. The therapy session slash talk show interview offers a cathartic assortment of non-sequiturs, but when the absurdity stacks up a little too high, Dennis suggests they leave the studio and hit the streets.

Directed by Michael Cavadias, The Joanne Holiday Show leans on a strong ensemble — Erin Markey, Michael Cavadias, Will Janowitz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.
