Media Art: Broad City

In our final week together in Media Art we are going to take a look at Smithtown alumni Ilana Glazer and her new show on Comedy Central that premieres tomorrow titled Broad City which with executive producer Amy Poehler.  Here's a short interview with Ilana and her partner Abbi Jacobson about how the show developed from a web series and what it's all about.  From the previews I've seen this is not the kind of show that would be appropriate to show in class but we are very proud of Ilana and her amazing success and it seems like an awesome show!
