But as this engagingly intimate documentary makes clear: They\u2019re still standing. And doing stand-up.<\/p>\n<p>Goldthwait and Gould prove to be engaging <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing companions offstage and amusing performers in the spotlight throughout \u201cJoy Ride,\u201d Goldthwait\u2019s amiably no-frills account of their 2020 tour of comedy clubs in Los Angeles, Georgia and North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>The venues where they perform are a few steps short of world-renowned showcases, something Goldthwait indirectly acknowledges during a bit in which he dismisses \u201cfans\u201d who unfollowed him on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> after learning of his left-leaning political stance: \u201cI used to play in arenas! Millions of people have unfollowed me!\u201d On the other hand, the places aren\u2019t ignominious dives, either. And besides, the clubs in Georgia and North Carolina evidently are close enough for the two comics to travel from one to another by car. This means they have lots of time to converse about highlights from their lives and relationships \u2014 including an initial animosity that evolved into bro-ship \u2014 all of which, not surprisingly, are fodder for their stand-up.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it <em>is<\/em> occasionally distracting to see them driving through so much snow and ice after learning early on about the accident that left Goldthwait with temporary memory loss and Gould with slow-healing broken ribs, but never mind: The accident and the inclement weather also are joke material, wherever they are.<\/p>\n<p>During their gigs, they appear together on stage at separate microphones \u2014 socially distanced \u2014 sometimes conversing, sometimes flying solo, all the while taking an approach best described as self-deprecating gallows humor. Gould talks about his childhood in a dysfunctional Irish-American family with an emotionally distant father and a deeply religious mother devoted to Oral Roberts. (While a youngster, he claims, his mom would encourage him to shoplift \u2014 and then send the money they would save on groceries to Roberts.) Stressed for success throughout much of his early career, he eventually suffered a nervous breakdown before seeking something like reconciliation with his dad. And, yes, he jokes about that, too.<\/p>\n<p>Goldthwait recalls his heyday during the \u201980s and \u201990s when, despite his profile-elevating appearances in the \u201cPolice Academy\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, he felt driven to more or less sabotage his career with wild-man stunts (including smashing furniture, setting chairs ablaze and chasing hosts while discharging a fire extinguisher) while appearing with talk-show hosts as diverse as Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno and \u201cRegis and Kathy Lee.\u201d It\u2019s not surprising when he acknowledges another envelope-pusher, the late Andy Kaufman, as an early influence, and even less of shock when he describes his friendship with the late Robin Williams, who starred in \u201cWorld\u2019s Greatest Dad\u201d (2009), one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly well-received dark comedies helmed by Goldthwait since his transition to directing TV and movie projects.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few archival clips scattered throughout the documentary, including outtakes from a TV commercial featuring a very young Gould and a barely sentient Bob Hope, and a snippet of Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s harsh criticism of Goldthwait\u2019s comic style. (Seinfeld, it should be noted, comes across as a bit of an ass.)<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, though, \u201cJoy Ride\u201d \u2014 which clocks in at a satisfyingly compact 70 minutes \u2014 focuses on the here and now, with Gould riffing on everything from the sartorial style of the Ku Klux Klan to conspiracy-minded gun-hoarders, Goldthwait offering a surprisingly upbeat and inspirational payoff to a shaggy-dog story involving Special Olympics athletes, and both guys clearly enjoying themselves and each other\u2019s company on the road and in the spotlight. Their delight is highly contagious.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
