Pretty much skipping over O&A and not including Ant was bullshit. The conversations Ant and Patrice had were so real and comedy gold. I feel like I got to know Patrice through O&A, I still listen to old shows. RIP Patrice.

Well said.

[@theoriginaltommysteward]

Ant is taking the right approach with his attitude towards not being in the doc but let's be real - - the real test is whether Patrice would be pissed off about it. He would be livid. Ant and Patrice were probably the best two people that ever talked on the radio. Watch the Gallagher interview if you need an introduction to their amazing chemistry.

[@michellec765]

Exactly. Patrice would be pissed Ant wasn't there to talk shit, lovingly of course.

Patrice just fucking loved being on air. every episode when they were wrapping up u could literally hear it in patrices voice and he'd literally say it. ahhh man, its over? and ant liked oateice and also felt like he was doing lab research talking to a black man and leaning about black culture knowing he won't get hurt in the process. ant seemed genuinely curious about patrice from a racists standpoint like he was happy and curious as fuck to have found a good one..

Anthony not being included in the documentary what is the first thing I thought of after watching it.

[@Toestubber]

The film smooths over Patrice's rough edges. The makers even ignored the incident where he spent weeks in jail behind a false rape allegation. (A fascinating and dramatic story, Patrice was traumatized, and recounting it on the O&A show was probably the most emotional I've heard him.) That, and leaving Cumia out of the movie, is unforgivable. Especially considering all the fluff that ended up padding the running time.

[@charlesdarwin7253]

Patrice and Bobo "Rickles" Kurlan were a top notch comedy duo, some of the biggest highlights of the O&A show were those two geniuses bouncing ideas off each other with impeccable delivery.

Yeah, because she did. The first attempt at a Patrice doc (Better Than You) was her attempt to cash in off a fresh corpse. Patrice's mom, with Bill Burr's money and support, fought to legally block her out of any future endeavors regarding Patrice.

[@Paddy.C]

She used the love Patrice's friends had for him, to get them to sit for unpaid interviews, and help raise the 100 grand she got in crowdfunding to get the thing made. Then, just as a final twist of the knife, having taken the money, and everyone's good will and free time, and done nothing with it, she palmed the interview footage off to Comedy Central, a company Patrice once referred to as "Where funny goes to die'".
