Harmontown

“Community” creator and showrunner Dan Harmon could have done any number of things after he was unceremoniously dumped from his own NBC TV show in 2012. Instead, Harmon set off on a cross-country tour in support of “Harmontown,” the comedy podcast he co-hosts with Jeff B. Davis. They brought along filmmaker Neil Berkeley to capture it all for a new documentary. This funny and brutally honest film provides a revealing look at the complicated character behind TV’s “Community” and “Rick and Morty.” While the comedian admits there were dark times following his dismissal from the beloved sitcom — which helped launch the careers of such stars as Donald Glover and Gillian Jacobs, and which led to a public spat between Harmon and cast member Chevy Chase — the 41-year-old Harmon says he didn’t have any reservations about letting the cameras in on his rebound attempt. Each new tour stop uncovers more Harmon (literally!) and provides intimate insights into his public persona and personal relationships.
