Call Me Lucky is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Bobcat Goldthwait[1] about the life of satirist, author, and performer Barry Crimmins.
Call Me Lucky details the life of stand-up comedian and activist Barry Crimmins, from his roots in upstate New York to his work as a political satirist and advocate.
Crimmins is portrayed as an influential figure in the Boston stand-up comedy scene, known for his profane and angry rants, primarily targeting the U.S. government and the Catholic Church.
A significant moment in the film is Crimmins' testimony at a 1995 congressional hearing, where he confronts an AOL executive about the company's failure to regulate pedophile activity in its chat rooms.
[2] AV Club critic Mike D'Angelo wrote "If it accomplishes nothing else, the new documentary Call Me Lucky should bring some welcome attention to a man who's been under the radar for the past few decades, mostly by his own design.
