Great season, definitely got better as it went along. Also I had a different favorite character like every two episodes, they put together a great cast.

They're both in this show, Richard and Erlich. The guy who plays Richard also shows up in The Wolf of Wall Street and Jonah Hill eats his goldfish in the office.

It killed me too. You figure it's just going to be a little tangent before they continue discussing real stuff, but they just keep going deeper and deeper.

The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

So sad this show is done for a year =(

Seriously, I think the only shows I liked better this year were True Detective and Fargo. Pretty good company for a 30min comedy show.

The point is not that one of them was on The League.

It's that they both were. Together. In the same cult.

I saw a thing where he was complaining that even though he was a legitimate actor people still know him as Doobs.

We didn't even laugh at it that much. We just sat there, in silent admiration. I'm not the one to throw around the term "art" likely, but one does not need a Potter Stewart here to make the call.

As someone who's been listening to Doug Loves Movies for years, I know that TJ Miller has always been fantastic. He was also great in his one scene in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. I love that he's getting some sense of actual recognition now, small though it may be.

Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh) is also fantastic, and I hope he gets more to do as the show goes on.

I didn't realize it was him doing Gorburger until I started listening to Cashing In. He breaks out the voice every once in a while and it's awesome to hear.

Didn't know about Kumail actually doing the X-Files thing. I thought it was just a joke.

I'm really happy about the actor they picked for Gilfoyle. He was my favorite from Party Down and his character on Silicon Valley is pretty similar.

Not really. He's arguably the "coolest/hippest" character on Silicon Valley.

I don't know what your definition of "hip" is, but - he's a satanist. He has an inverted cross tattoo.
Usually, Ehrlich is the least overtly abnormal. And Bighead is just a quiet, tiny dude.

He's the character trying to be the "coolest/hippest".

I dunno. He was able to convince Dinesh (and Erlich) - that his girlfriend wanted to sleep with him. I'm not saying he's "cool", but if we're going to compare him to Richard, Dinesh and Jared....

I'm pretty sure Big Head's nickname comes from his last name (Bigueddi, or something like that) not from the fact that his head is any particular size. It's just a nickname that comes from his last name.
