Monty Franklin on making a movie with John Cleese and Jim Jefferies

Stand up comedian Monty Franklin tries to make the content audiences need- instead of what they think they want.

Whether that’s explaining Aussie culture and slang to American audiences- or working on a film about the Great Emu War of 1932 with John Cleese, Jim Jefferies and Rob Schneider.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Monty talks about why the best comedy is authentic- and why he’s not worried his friendship with controversial podcaster Joe Rogan could lose him fans.
