Johnny Mac covers Dane Cook posting surveillance video to identify a woman he says stole dog treats from his doorstep at 6 a.m., noting the coincidence with Cook promoting a new VOD film and discussing Cook’s comments to Deadline about a documentary framing his career like “Empire Strikes Back.” He highlights a Michael Che Netflix special trailer (Oct. 13), the Maria Bamford documentary “Paralyzed by Hope” (Oct. 23, Netflix), Chris Hardwick’s special “The Middle Ages” (Oct. 5 on 800 Pound Gorilla’s Gorilla Comedy Plus; Oct. 20 on YouTube), and Zainab Johnson’s “Toxically Optimistic” (Oct. 27, Netflix, co-produced with Higher Ground). Other items include Jason Zinoman on Sam Morril, Andrew Schulz cast in “Miami Vice ’85” (IMAX May 19, 2028), Nate Bargatze writing for Ford, late-night ratings led by “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Audible’s “The Moons of LA” (Oct. 8), and Vulture spotlighting Janet McNamara.
