I broadly hate praising the Disney machine, but I thought their approach with Disney+ was the right one - put disclaimers in front of potentially offensive stuff that let people know what they’re getting into.
Yeah, maybe the show would have been popular then.
Damn, it’s jaw-dropping how some of these commenters have completely forgotten the ability to quietly not care for something - to the extent that they feel like the culture is forcing them to like it. Don’t blame glowing reviews for your reduced skills in Skipping The Product.
Never underestimate the hatred of angry straight white men when it comes to being the butt of jokes/not being catered to. I remember before the Kinja super duper dumpster fire days of the Cameron Esposito column (not that long ago in the grand scheme of the site and all), and holy hell...
I’m curious how it’ll translate to the screen — I saw it during its NYC run and quite enjoyed it (oddly my favorite thing is how she managed to yet again use a lot of her art history knowledge for a framework), but I feel like the comedy that came from the visual aids won’t really work as well in this medium.
And queer women that won’t fuck men too. They surely don’t have complexes at all
No, nobody believed she was quitting. Or at least, no one thought that who also understood what Nanette was trying to do as a show. It’s pretty clear that the “quitting comedy” comments in Nanette are rhetorical devices meant to show how intractable the conflict between her life experiences and traditional modes of…
So glad to see the commentariat still hates talented women who aren’t size-0’s. Some things never change.
I love these comments, because making sad little misery sacks Big Mad is exactly what she wants, and you guys just keep pufferfishing and giving it to her.
Everything about the Kim Wexner story is solid gold. It’s making me realize how utterly tired I’ve become of the “wife” character whose entire role is to keep saying “Billy, no! You’re going to far—I don’t even recognize you any more!”
You’re not supposed to like it. Fear for her life has instead become fear for her soul.
On the surface, Nacho, man of few words, doesn’t seem like he’s on the level of the top heroes and villains in this universe, but there’s a scrappy intelligence to him that makes me glad he’s in the game. I loved the padlock trick, and the kitchen sabotage, but even before that, I got the sense he was trying to get…
Jimmy’s disbelief to Kim’s “pew-pew” in this finale mirrors perfectly with her being stunned by Jimmy’s “S’all good, man” in the season 4 finale.
I’ve given many accolades to Rhea Seehorn—the secret weapon of this show—and sang Bob Odenkirk’s praises too. He has completely put comedic actor as a secondary characteristic, as he is a complete actor now in every way. They were both wonderful again in this episode, which relied so heavily on body language, longing…
Thank you for the lovely review, Donna.
Last week I said Kim was going to try to atone for Jimmy’s sins. This week I’m saying Kim is going Gus Fring: respectable persona with dark underbelly.
I’ve watched it twice, the first time before the AV Club started going on about it. It’s just as hilarious the second time through and Gift Receipt is hilarious.
I laugh so hard I miss the start of the next sketch at least once per show.
"A.I."'s epilogue was designed as a complete thematic reversal of the opening Monolith sequence of "2001". It was to serve as a beautiful goodbye and tribute from one director to the other, and its fitting that's its as enigmatic and misunderstood as many Kubrick inventions.
