Holy shit, I never made the connection (as someone who downloaded, er, “unofficial” copies of Look Around You a dozen years ago and tried to push them on friends) that this was him.

simply the greatest comedy show of all time.

“where it seems like everyone who’s anyone has been invited to have a role in this film.”

The Gothic Castle?

“New York Lonely Boy” was the best song of 2021.

I think that after Better Call Saul, this is the new season I’m most psyched for. The first was fuckin’ hysterical.

based on their reactions, not winning is the same as failing. When they say the same stuff you just rattled off, it’s not with the same gusto that you or I might say it, because they have such absurdly high expectations, even a single failure is not an option.  Put differently, think how well t***p has handled his…

I’d rather a dozen shows about how our elites aren’t all that smart, all that good nor all that worthy of the wealth they wield b/c a lot of people need to learn that lesson.

“I love how their bodies are flat, and then there’s a tube!”

Watching this show gave me the same sense of malaise that I got watching ‘Dopesick’, the series about the Sacklers. Both of the shows, in my opinion, did an adequate job of portraying their antagonists as the true sociopath pieces of human shit they are, as well as showing the sometimes heroic efforts of those around…

I have the EXACT feeling. For all the shit that’s going on in the world right now, why would I want to spend my free time learning about how awful tech bros are when I already know they are terrible.  I need escapism not reenactments of the terrible state of reality.  Keep that shit in the genres of podcasts that I…

Instead of a host, what if each year, the ceremony has a new, high profile director overseeing it all? That excites me more, the idea that each new ceremony could/will have an entirely different flavor, based upon the stewardship of that particular person. The Academy Awards, produced by...Greta Gerwig, Phoebe…

I noticed the credits for Tragedy of Macbeth included an editor named Richard Jaynes or similar (whatever it was, it wasn’t Roderick) which I thought was a hilarious little detail that of course a Coen brother would think of.

They should just go ahead and make Nosferathree already.

I think my favourite fact about her is that she chose “Grimes” because it was a word that stuck in her head when she was setting up her MySpace page and scrolling through the genres of music and “grime” just stuck in her head.

carles hosts a show on SiriusXMU now which i’m pretty sure he would have made fun of in 2009. RIP hipster runoff

This Country is hands down one of my favorite comedies of the last decade, but I have little faith that its style will translate well to an American audience. If they maintain the style of the original, they’re asking a network tv audience to sit down for 22 minutes and watch very little plot happen. Personally, I…

That’s right. This Country is such a personal project, can’t imagine how anyone would successfully translate it to another setting like this. See also, People Just Do Nothing. Welcome To Flatch (terrible title!) is a deeply unconvincing imposter.

The reason This Country worked so well is because Daisy May Cooper and her brother Charlie truly lived the life they depicted. They had very few credits between them, and wrote a sitcom about the area they grew up in. It feels very lived in and avoids many of the usual pitfalls of the mockumentary (mostly by casting…
