“Another issue is that I’m not sold on Trevor’s reasoning that Shawn isn’t just outing Michael to the Judge because messing with his friends is “more fun.””

I’ve noticed they often assume that stupid people have fake wood paneling in their houses.

Goldfinger. He’s the man, the man with the Popeye’s touch.

It’s good, but it’s not DiBiase good.

Fox News must be salivating at this story.

Agreed. He’s only four years older than I am (I spent many a night in middle school watching him and the rest of the cast of All That), but god damn has he marked out some serious, well-earned success for himself.

Here’s hoping that continues.

Yeah, there’s a joke in there somewhere but it’s less clunky than the one we got.

They all tried. They all failed. They all slipped back to their old habits. Because they were trying to do it alone. Michael was right - it only works when they are all together. Still, I wonder where Jason got the money for flight to Australia?

Yes, definitely. About fifteen minutes into the first episode I mentioned to my gf how much the world reminded me of Brazil. The ambiguously futuristic setting juxtaposed with some very outdated technology... it’s hard not to notice if you’re a Gilliam fan.

“Brazil” came to mind almost immediately where there’s a technological futurism set in the past (?) that doesn’t really work very well. Once that clerk received a tube with the calendar in it, I thought it was an intentional shout-out to Gilliam. It just needs some Michael Palin. 

It reminds me of some show from Adult Swim with Uncle Rico

Agreed! Even more so with the second episode. 

Thank you, Mercurywaxing, I may actually have to watch the damn thing now.

That tension between the happy-go-lucky adventurer and the unimaginably vast alien intellect lurking beneath is a tricky one for any actor but you can tell Whittaker is nailing it. YEAHHHHHH

Whither Tahani?

I like Hot Fuss, but I swear it’s the most poorly sequenced modern classic.

That’s his wife Liza in this clip. He met her shooting this bit. She worked for the marketing agency. I remember watching this live.

This was my favorite clip ever back when I’d stay up late to watch Conan in high school, and it still kills me:

Joe Pera Talks With You deserves an Emmy

Loving this series so far. LOVING IT.
