This is the accordionist speaking. Thanks for the nice review ;) It’s not ‘Master of Puppets’, it’s ‘Crazy Train’ by Ozzy. I actually also played snippets from ‘Last Resort’, ‘The Trooper’ and ‘Enter The Sandman’ but those didn’t make the cut. The background music at the end of the episode is all improvised (as is the…

It’s definitely gotten weirder and more esoteric as opposed to “funny ha ha,” but I still really love it in part because you can feel the palpable enthusiasm and love from all involved making it. I think if it were still Fred Armisen and Bill Hader forcing themselves to make fun of documentaries people had heard of,…

Yeah, 2 & 3 are the best, but I keep finding myself dwelling on seasons 5 & 6 during my annual rewatches. Those are weird and hiding something special.

Ending is definitely up to interpretation, though I wouldn’t have been mad had the final scene been the 4 of them driving off into the sunset eating Popeye’s. But my take on it was Darius was in the real world. The episode actually gives you a lot of backstory about Darius that we haven’t gotten before. The girl…

Golf Story is one of my favorite Switch games. Unless it’s definitely not your type of game style, you’ll love it. Good to play it now, because I imagine going from Sports Story to Golf Story would lead to disappointment in the original.

Golf Story is now on sale on the Nintendo eShop! Stoked to finally try it before Sports Story comes out. Really, really excited about Inscryption too, and actually kinda stoked for A Little to the Left of all games? WrestleQuest looks fun, Storyteller, Botany Manor too.

Eh, she’s an officer in the Empire. I don’t think they ever set her up as someone to root for unless you forgot who she was working for lol.

Al Yankovic is the one person I believe represents all that is good in humanity. If I found out he was a racist or some kind of sex criminal, I honestly don't know if I could recover. 

Walk Hard is so good it basically killed musical biopics. I was stunned the Queen movie actually had the balls to do all the clichés post Walk Hard.

Saying that Walk Hard should’ve been funnier is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

It’s probably more accurate to describe it as:
“Not an elaborate toy commercial.”

Merchandisable iconography free of any likeness rights owed to recognizable actors.  And they couldn’t even put a piece of actual Star Wars music over it.  Just awful.

His eye and ear for how privileged folks move through the world continue to be unmatched

I’m going to try that for next week, it definitely over-shadowed things a bit this time. I do at least two full watches of an episode for review anyway (initial impressions and then a second sweep for great lines or details I missed) so doing a watch before and after watching the doc will probably be helpful.

Actually...it can be done comedically.

Blanchette came to them specifically with this idea. So it’s definitely more obscure but I think they welcomed the opportunity to get her back. 

Surprised you didn’t mention the roller skating girl attacked the postman and as a result had to assist him for community service.

You’re wrong and it was hilarious and Grizzly Man should be parodied. 

That shit would never go away. Some asshats are still coming after Salman Rushdie, how many decades later?

Smart call for Nathan Fielder, but also if he accepted knowing the risks it could have been one of the crowning achievements for both of them. You know, if it didn’t get Nathan killed or a fatwa issued for either/both of them.
