We Like Art is A Comedy show about Art.Comedians Tommy Mavra and Manny Muskets take a hilarious, not-so-serious look at history’s greatest artists and their work. Every week they dive blindly into a slide deck curated by their resident art historian (and fellow comedian) Seth Ruddick. With zero background information, Tommy, Manny, and, sometimes, a guest comedian must dissect the artwork, guess the context, and hilariously try to figure out what on earth is going on. As the slides progress, real factual information is slowly revealed—but don&#39;t expect a dry lecture. On this show, historical facts, made-up backstories, bizarre non sequiturs, and pure absurdity are all treated with the exact same level of reverence. Whether you are an art lover or someone who can&#39;t tell a Warhol from a can of soup, or a Leonardo from a ninja turtle, or a Van Gogh from a van... that goes, pull up a chair. We might not know art, but we definitely like it. New episodes every Tuesday. Subscribe now and never look at art the same way again.

Donatello, Renaissance sculpture, Judith, Holofernes, David, Goliath, the Medici, and a whole lot of terrible art history guesses. This week on We Like Art, Tommy Mavra and Manny dive into the world of Donatello — one of the major artists of the Italian Renaissance — with comedian Greg Williams Jr. joining the chaos. What starts as a serious attempt to learn about Renaissance art quickly turns into a comedy breakdown of Donatello&#39;s sculptures, biblical stories, Renaissance nudity, bronze statues, David and Goliath, Judith and Holofernes, the Medici family, Michelangelo, and the eternal question: why did Renaissance artists keep making so many naked dudes? And Who was the Kanye West of the Renaissance? We look at Donatello&#39;s artwork and try to figure out what we&#39;re actually looking at before the history lesson catches up with us. Along the way, we compare Donatello&#39;s David to Michelangelo&#39;s famous David, talk about the first freestanding nude statue produced since antiquity, and discover just how much chaos can be found in Renaissance art history. If you like art history, Renaissance art, funny podcasts, stand-up comedy, weird historical facts, museum conversations, or watching comedians attempt to understand famous works of art, you&#39;re in the right place. This is We Like Art — the comedy podcast about art history where we look at famous artwork, ask dumb questions, learn something occasionally, and try very hard to like art. Subscribe to We Like Art for more comedy, art history, artists, paintings, sculptures, and completely questionable interpretations. Timestamps: 0:00 — Donatello or Donato?

Michelangelo is one of the most famous artists in history — but what happens when you put his greatest works in front of three comedians who know just enough about art to be dangerous? In this episode of **We Like Art**, Tommy, Manny, and special guest **Tony from Hack the Movies** take a completely unqualified journey through the life and work of **Michelangelo**, one of the defining artists of the Italian Renaissance. We talk about Michelangelo&#39;s early life, his connection to marble, his rivalry with Raphael, and some of his most famous masterpieces, including **Madonna of the Stairs, the Pietà, David, the Sistine Chapel, and The Last Judgment**. Along the way, we attempt to understand Renaissance art, Biblical imagery, artistic anatomy, and why Michelangelo apparently couldn&#39;t stop putting extremely muscular people everywhere. Naturally, things get increasingly ridiculous. If you love **art history, Renaissance art, Michelangelo, famous paintings and sculptures, comedy podcasts, movie discussions, or watching people confidently get things wrong**, this one&#39;s for you. 🎨 **Featuring:** Tony from Hack the Movies🎬 **We Like Art** — where we look at great art, ask tough questions, and learn... occasionally. ### CHAPTERS 00:00 — Michelangelo&#39;s Extremely Long Name01:32 — Welcome to We Like Art03:21 — Meet Tony from Hack the Movies06:54 — Fan Art, Shaq &amp; Captain America 10:53 — A Portrait of Michelangelo13:36 — Tony Tries to Figure Out Our Art Process14:05 — Madonna of the Stairs16:01 — Biblical Foreshadowing &amp; the &#34;Judean Stoop&#34;19:17 — Michelangelo&#39;s First Sculpture20:49 — Michelangelo&#39;s Early Life &amp; Family25:10 — The Pietà29:21 — The Pietà: Marble, Detail &amp; Michelangelo&#39;s Signature32:08 — Michelangelo vs. Raphael35:23 — Art Podcast Production Problems39:40 — David42:00 — David, Goliath &amp; Renaissance Anatomy43:21 — Why Michelangelo&#39;s David Is So Famous49:55 — Michelangelo&#39;s Poetry51:51 — Commercial Break &amp; More Art53:25 — The Sistine Chapel59:30 — The Last Judgment01:04:17 — Michelangelo&#39;s Massive Final Judgment01:11:19 — Christian Movies, Horror &amp; The Prophecy01:14:09 — Tony Talks Hack the Movies01:16:50 — Where to Find Tony &amp; Manny01:19:28 — That&#39;s a Wrap 👍 **LIKE** the video if you enjoyed the art, the history, or the complete lack of qualifications. 💬 **COMMENT:** What&#39;s your favorite Michelangelo artwork — **David, the Pietà, the Sistine Chapel, or something else?** 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE** to We Like Art for more art history, famous artists, masterpieces, bad guesses, and questionable cultural analysis. 🎬 **Check out Tony and Hack the Movies** for more movie reviews and movie discussions.

This Week Tommy Mavra and Manny Muskets take a look at legendary American artist Grant Wood with guest Charlie Gibson.

American Gothic or German Kids Music. Grant Wood with Charlie Gibson We Like Art ep 12

We Like Art is A Comedy show about Art.

Comedians Tommy Mavra and Manny Muskets take a hilarious, not-so-serious look at history’s greatest artists and their work. Every week they dive blindly into a slide deck curated by their resident art historian (and fellow comedian) Seth Ruddick. With zero background information, Tommy, Manny, and, sometimes, a guest comedian must dissect the artwork, guess the context, and hilariously try to figure out what on earth is going on. As the slides progress, real factual information is slowly revealed—but don't expect a dry lecture. On this show, historical facts, made-up backstories, bizarre non sequiturs, and pure absurdity are all treated with the exact same level of reverence.

Whether you are an art lover or someone who can't tell a Warhol from a can of soup, or a Leonardo from a ninja turtle, or a Van Gogh from a van... that goes, pull up a chair.

We might not know art, but we definitely like it. New episodes every Tuesday. Subscribe now and never look at art the same way again.
