Diner Lobster and the most recent episode of Documentary Now, "Co-op".

I need to nip this in the bud. This dual-article narrative Mr. Perkins is trying to start about Bodega Bathroom potentially being better than Diner Lobster cannot gain any traction. While this sketch is great in comparison to any ol’ SNL sketch, it absolutely doesn’t hold a (Virgin Mary) candle to the original. Bodega…

He’s done a few fun things with the Screen Junkies/Honest Trailers people, too.

Yes! It is! Watch for Brie Larson’s cameo.

My recommended anniversary celebration would be to watch This Film is Not Yet Rated dir. by Kirby Dick. It is a very entertainingly constructed doc; and, y’know, infuriating.

Agreed. Hey, if we both change our names, we could become the Broccoli Brothers; then take our act to the Kitchen Kabaret.

Seeing some other posted work made me connect dots. I’m just now realizing Breyfogle drew (and apparently loved) the Anarky issues of Detective Comics. #608 may have been the first issue of Batman I ever “owned” (I was 3 and a half). I get some serious tactile memory from that thing and his artwork can send me back in…

The first episode is already leaked (or released, idk) and this show is still going strong. What they do with the Dennis issue is a genius commentary on their own worries and the internet’s inevitable criticisms (and also results in non-stop hilarious sight gags.) I love this show so so much.

This show, these reviews, and these comments have all made me very happy for every one of these ten episodes.

Also, the few seconds between him dumping the oil on himself and lightning the fire felt like a horrifying eternity. Crozier’s screams to stop him give me literal chills. Then it got even more distressing.

So many other shows would have cut in some kind of flashback imagery during their exchange. I kept thinking, “Surely it will cut now...now...?” By the end of it, I said “Holy shit,” aloud. This show has got an impressively steady hand.

Just want to express my appreciation for the thoughtful recommendations. It’s been a very positive thread and reminds me of the AVCLUB ol’ days.

You are selling me on this show perfectly. Even getting past my nautical art issues, I would have been skeptical of Black Sails. I felt burned by Hell on Wheels, so I was double-hesitant.

I’ve owned it for such a long time. I worked in a movie theater when it came out. I have many friends who highly recommend it. It’s been one of my longest running “I know this is to be appreciated, but I also know I won’t right now” pieces of art. I’m very excited to finally feel like I want to watch it. Probably…

“... historically accurate depictionss of piracy...”

I hope I make it to that level of genre enjoyment. Sadly (for totally unfair reasons), Patrick O’ Brian books are a part of my rejection of nautical tales. My very first “real” job, at 14, was at a library. I was already turned off by the genre, and then I had to constantly re-shelve O’ Brian books. The heft, the…

I was wondering if anyone would mention this. Love Aardman, so I checked it out eventually (even though it seemed to tick a few boxes I didn’t like). I recall it being delightfully off-beat.

While having seen the case for this a million times, I never knew what it was. I will be watching this immediately, however I sincerely hope your reply was sarcasm; ‘cause when I looked it up....whaaaat?!

I have never been interested in period nautical films. For what reason, I do not know. I think it has something to do with exposure as a little kid (I once felt the same way about war films and westerns).

This theory seemed a bit shoehorned, but now I’m Scholl’d. Mystery is afoot!
