LifeMinute.tv

Beloved comedian and ground-breaking podcast host Marc Maron reluctantly pulls back the curtain on his everyday life in Steven Feinartz's Are We Good? Here, we see Maron laid bare as the COVID-19 pandemic halts his thriving standup career, yanking him into an unwelcome, caged existence that is shortly followed by the devastating and unimaginable sudden loss of his partner and brilliant filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Bringing Feinartz along as he grapples with this new reality, we take a trip through the ups and downs of his career. We spoke to Maron and Feinartz ahead of the documentary's Tribeca Festival premiere at the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC in New York City Saturday.
