Mildly intrigued, but much more interested in any further news of the Bass Reeves project.  Announced the same time as this show, but still crickets since.

Mispeltings are an initiation right.

Quentin directly discussing his infatuation with a Wyoming cowboy, if it indeed is Greg, and leaving the picture on the bureau in Tanya’s bedroom mitigates against any tightly constructed plot to swindle Tanya, particularly one coordinated through Greg, unless the messiness and carelessness was part of the thrill of

Los Espookys was the most reliable source of utterly random hilarity. It wasn’t so much the story that kept me watching as it was the non sequiturs.

I saw a promotional video on this on youtube and my takeaway was that it was a well constructed extra episode of Documentary Now!

Line of the episode - ‘four for dinner’

It was offensive, in the right way. The line ‘when it’s black it’s a gang, and when it’s italians, it’s the mob, and when it’s jews, it’s a coincidence’ is brilliant in it’s structure. That’s not saying you have to agree OR be offended. But he couches it in counterexamples that puts the critic in the position of

It’s excellent nuanced writing that allows for multiple perspectives to be simultaneously feasible. My take on Harper’s conundrum in this episode is that her history of curated cynicism and skepticism is derailing her effort to be free and fun.  She gives a definite air of judgment in every glance and offhand remark

You wuh in Poy-gah-tory, my friend!!

It’s a tin-eared iteration of a nearly ubiquitous bit. As has been pointed out below, Chris Rock used it to bemoan the death of a lot of legendary rappers, while Vanilla Ice lives. It’s a writing room bit to establish as misanthropic archetype who is both in pain over the loss of heroes and resentful of nice people

It took me forever to figure if, then where, I’d seen Los Espooky’s particular style of humor. Where it’s silly and fluffy, but still guffaw inducing, and almost impossible to explain to someone who doesn’t watch for themselves [guess you had to be there, humor]. And during the finale, it finally struck me like a

Maybe if Shaq knew about Paperboi’s love for Pretzelmakers, he wouldn’t have had to sell Auntie Anne’s.

Yeah, guess no one really did watch Mr. Mercedes

Her physical attractiveness is the smallest portion of her attractiveness, she’s so relatable. I don’t know if it’s a conscious act, but if so she’s good at it. Seems more like a sister or cousin who happens to be hot and famous than someone who has been hot and famous most of her life.
