Jason Woliner Movies
The most cinematically oriented of the contributors to MTV's sketch series Human Giant (2007), filmmaker Jason Woliner took his first Hollywood bow at age seven when tapped by executive producer Robert Klane to play "the screaming kid" in the goofball farce Weekend at Bernie's (1989). In his late teens and early twenties, Woliner began writing and helming a series of comic shorts on both videotape and film, including "Partisan Jab," a compendium of satirical political sketches run as a standing installation at the Museum of the Moving Image. Woliner also contributed occasional sketches to the VH1 network's Best Week Ever. As one of the foremost creators of Giant (alongside Rob Huebel, Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, and others), Woliner directed program sketches but never appeared in them. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

In this Comedy Central special, the cheerfully sarcastic comedian comments on politics ("Obama... And Time Travel... And Coolness... And the Last Racist"), technology ("Grocery Robots), exercise ("Treadmill"), mind-altering substances ("Whiskey and Weed and L.S.D."), and a variety of subjects in between. ~ Kimber Myers, All Movie Guide
