Tim and Eric is massively hit or miss and it is mostly miss, minus Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule which is absolutely loving hilarious

Tom Goes to the Mayor is just brutally unfunny to the point where I'm amazed they got a career out of it (unless they did something else too??)

watched "the matrix revolutions" and ended up liking it more than i remembered. needed waaaaay more fights tho. there's 1 shootout and 1 kinda lame punch fight, and a dozen war/chase scenes. they really needed to stick to their roots and show more martial arts with wire work and poo poo. also lmao that the movies just progressively become more star wars

in less nerdbaity posting i just got back from the aretha franklin biopic respect and actually liked it quite a bit the usual biopic tropes are all there but it deals a lot more with the actual music than the petty personal drama

theres some major dark irony in how after domineering father and domineering husband franklin herself becomes the domineer and its interesting how the first two come off more as gently caress ups who are products of their backgrounds so when franklin does the same thing they become more sympathetic despite still being assholes

i also liked how the movie very subtly depicted racism as real despite not actually having any racist white characters because all the white characters still acknowledge it but the black characters are still very preemptively defensive about being stereotyped because white supremacy really fucks with their sense of self even if its not physically in the room with them

in summary i thought this late exchange was funny as hell

ok you can make a gospel album but i want to send a documentary crew because people all over the world are curious about your background and will want to know why youre making a gospel album

what people you mean WHITE PEOPLE

...yes...

thats actually a really good idea sure lets do it

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





Tim and Eric are loving visionaries, sometimes I revisit Awesome Show or TGTTM and get impressed all over again, also them stopping their movie to deadpan explain the concept of comic relief is still one of my favorite comedic beats in any media current or historic

Mystery Men has such a ridiculous cast.

like even ignoring the main capes, you've got Wes Studi, Tom Waits, Artie Lange, Pras...

also it's extremely funny

A Flaming Carrot spin off requires nothing less than the most inspired casting.

Don't forget the Michael Bay cameo as gang leader of the Fratboys!

yeah pretty much. that said the ~2003 - 2009-ish period was golden age of AS. just a ton of weird experiment (often stoner but not always) shows that was great to put on after some intoxication late at night when the only other options are diabetes/mesothilienoma commercials, and a bunch of poo poo.. sealab, moral orel, 12 oz mouse, squid, athf, metapoc, frisky dingo, space ghost, harvey, early robo chicken, venture bros, etc

by 2011 it was pretty much a wasteland of it's former self having killed off their experimental side and mostly just running re-runs and syndicated programming. ime the more Tim & Eric

now a days you can put on whenever you want at whenever you want and easier than ever to curate own tv-like channels

edit: I guess they still have Eric Andre, Rick & Morty going on, and Primal was v good. though i imagine most people pirate it these days but maybe im wrong there

squidbillies is good

i think Smiling Friends is the only AS thing I've given a poo poo about in the last decade and who knows, it might suck and the first episode was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle pilots that should have stayed a one off

I remember them saying they'd continue Squidbillies without Hinson which is like why bother

I went to one of his concerts like 10 years ago and he's one of the best guitarists I've ever seen live. He tours in a tricked out 1960s hearse
