Truly a great episode. Dennis going down the line with his "time's up" speeches had me loling.

OldSenileGuy posted:Was this the first time they dropped an F bomb on the show, not counting the Christmas episode that was direct-to-DVD? I didn't even notice. I don't think they would have bleeped it on FXX. Several cable networks (FXX, AMC, USA, Comedy Central, etc) have been really loosening up what they'll allow as far as content goes (language and violence). The first time I noticed shows openly dropping f bomb's on cable television shows were probably Atlanta (FXX) and Mr. Robot (USA). Other shows have followed suit.

Got around to watching the episode. DID NOT SEE ANY OF THAT COMING. Not many (if any?) episodes have a somber tone like that. Only a few jokes sprinkled in. And the ending was something else. I liked it. I'm glad they didn't cheapen it with a joke at the very end. My guess is that Frank is going to try to relate more to Mac by incorrectly talking to him about "gay" stuff.

Brawnfire posted:I'm rewatching AD at the moment and am on season 2... I can't remember where to stop. I saw the first Netflix season where they filmed them all separately or whatever, and that wasn't great but it was Arrested Developmenty enough I guess. Where should I call it quits if I don't want to get into deep suckage? I guess I'm in the minority then. I thought season 4 was mostly bad (in terms of AD). Compared to most sitcoms, it was fine. I thought season 5 was a huge step up in quality, and very much recommend it.

ChesterJT posted:Rob also talked about Hulu removing episodes and the first ep of season 15 on another podcast: One one hand....it sucks that production is just starting. On the other hand....if flexibility on production is what it takes to keep the show going....then I'm all for it. Just like with Curb. Put it season orders and production deadlines....and those two shows would probably cease to exist altogether.

I'm liking this development with Dee getting an acting gig. Was wondering why they were going to Ireland. But it seems like a really good setup for upcoming episodes.

oh jay posted:The roller rink episode was okay, but we've all heard half the jokes hundreds of times already. "There's no way *now ubiquetous technology* will ever take off". I mean....it wasn't a masterpiece by any means....but I thought it was amusing enough. Mac and Charlie both made me laugh. And....I did not know that Glenn Howerton was in 'That 80's Show'. Wow. I did not watch that show once.

Barry Foster posted:All their characters are very much exaggerated versions of themselves, it's why it works so well, I think. Like, the gang are pretty cartoonish (they discuss that too in the podcast) but the roots are clearly there. Glenn's fastidious and can be prickly, Charlie's excitable, Rob's clearly the least secure of the three of them, etc. I think this is correct. And I listened to the first episode of the podcast today.....Rob seemed worried that Charlie didn't eat anything until lunch. I almost thought he was playing Mac for a second or two.

God drat is 'The Always Sunny Podcast' good. When I originally saw it....I thought....well how interesting could an episode by episode recap be? Glad I gave it a shot....but it's not really a recap in a general sense. It's great. And I'm surprised at how funny those guys are off script. Charlie Day especially. Just hilarious all around. Decided to start a rewatch from episode 1 as well because it's been a long time since I've seen a number of these episodes and I figured that I could enjoy the podcast even more if I could follow exactly what the guys were talking about. I got up to the invincible episode of the podcast before starting the rewatch....and I've been noticing quite a few things. What's mostly been standing out to me is the little sound effects that they add in. I don't think I really noticed them much originally. But now that I know that the guys added some of those sounds in post....makes the show even funnier. But....brilliant show right off the bat. Even the first season where they are still getting their footing and are without Devito puts most sitcoms to shame. Forget how many laugh out loud moments there are.

The Always Sunny Podcast is a podcast that I did not know I needed until I started listening to it. Just great. Way better than I had imagined when I first heard about it a few months back. Just got through watching 'The Nightman Cometh' on a current rewatch. Am I the only one who finds this episode to be terribly overrated?

ShoogaSlim posted:what dont you like about it? it might not be my favorite overall, but it works well in highlighting each gang members quirks and nuances in how much they each want to be the star of the play and gently caress with charlie's vision while he's plotting this whole thing to hide an elaborate new way of trying to achieve his ultimate goal of getting with the waitress. blablabla you get the idea but bc everyone gets a chance to shine and bc it deviates, successfully, from the gang's usual activities/setting, it's def a standout for most people. I didn't say that I dislike the episode....persay. I just don't get why it's as highly regarded as it is. Basically....child molestation is every other joke. A little too 'blue' for my tastes.

ShoogaSlim posted:what does this mean? Basically to be "off-color". Overtly vulgar or dirty. There are some bits in the episode that work for me. Mac getting laughed at throughout the show as he acts like a ninja cat....even though he was going for "gasps" specifically. But the running joke throughout the episode is that the entire play is an innuendo on child molestation. I just didn't find it to be all that good of a bit. Nothing really clever about it.

CJacobs posted:Yeah when it comes to the ads themselves, not to re-litigate that Agreed. Don't think I've skipped past an ad in this particular podcast. The better podcasters can do these spots and keep them interesting enough that they don't even feel like an advertisement. Back in the day when 'Hollywood Handbook' had an ads-free version for 'Stitcher Premium' subscribers, people would seek out the ads version to hear the ad-scenes they'd do.

, these four are really funny together and I don't care if they yuk it up about some high end socks I'm not gonna buy as long as they did do their research like they said they would, which now it seems they do I hope. They've just got a chance there for new improv is all, even though I know the company has demands when it comes to that stuff.

Phenotype posted:Just finished a rewatch of The Mick and I am heartbroken all over again that it didn't get another season. This was the best drat new comedy of the last decade, and was absolutely firing on all cylinders by the end of season 2. Just absolutely maddening that it got canceled when they're willing to make 4 seasons of AP Bio and Mystic Quest, which don't have a fraction of the energy and direction. Finished the final episode and I keep thinking "there's gotta be more, right? how would they not make more after that season?" Don't drag 'Mythic Quest' into the rant. That show is really good. But I agree with the A.P. Bio thing. The Mick runs circles around that show. The unfortunate truth is that FOX has a long history of canceling high quality shows

When I started rewatching from the first episode a couple months back....I realize I had forgotten how flippant they were with weapons in the early seasons. I mean.....I knew they were with Frank commonly carrying them around and shooting them off.....as well as the 'Gun Fever' episodes. But I guess I never was paying close enough attention (or just forgot) at how casually they would just point loaded weapons around the room....and at each other. Or even toss loaded weapons to one another....with nobody ever flinching or feeling threatened.

Collapsing Farts posted:Well, you guys have bad opinions and should feel extreme shame. The podcasts where they just talk about random stuff are and always have been the best ones. I wouldn't give a poo poo if they never spoke about episodes again because it's always just them going "hah, yes, that was funny, I remember that" which is boring. Their tangents and bullshit IS the podcast I agree with this.

The cold open to the first episode (The Gang Inflates) of the season.....is brilliant. Very happy that Sunny is back. My god.....the reveal that Charlie's apartment has a bathroom and a separate bedroom is incredible. Could make for a really good season long story arc. Or they might blow it up by the end of the first episode. Also.....I can't remember ever wondering what that door was. I can't believe that it's just never been addressed. Really shows how many different avenues this show could go down. lol.....Mac's face. RestingB1tchFace fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jun 10, 2023 |

emanresu tnuocca posted:fyi you can also find the blackberry movie in all sorta places, Glenn is really terrific in it, like everyone already said he was. it's a well made movie. Super good. Glenn Howerton was great. Both his performance and the movie in general are getting critical acclaim. On the other side of the tracks.....Charlie Day's movie 'Fools Paradise' is getting absolutely ripped. Have to say.....the trailer didn't make it look that great....but Charlie is such a talented comedic actor/writer that I still had high hopes. Who knows.....RTs fresh/rotten meter isn't always right. But 16% fresh on 38 reviews....some of which are super critical....doesn't bode well. One reviewer mentioned that part of what makes Charlie Day funny is his voice and the way he talks. So he made himself a mute character?

Yahoo looked like they spent a lot of time trying to make the lighting and the shadows look as realistic as possible. lol.

Just saw Fool's Paradise.....and while it wasn't terrible.....it certainly wasn't good. Let's start with the fact that nobody is asking for a Chaplin type, slapstick comedy in 2023. Just an odd choice. An equally problematic issue is that the movie cruises through scenes and plot points so quickly.....that it's hard to make sense of any of it unless the point is that it's not supposed to make sense. Anywho.....I didn't hate it. I was in the mood for a lighthearted movie and this certainly qualifies. I just cannot imagine that this is how Charlie Day expected this to turn out when he started. Because this was a mess.

Jason Sudekis and Adrien Brody especially. And holy poo poo every time they said Latte Pronto I was reminded of how stupid it was. Blackberry on the other hand was pretty good and Howerton was amazing. There's a reason why Fool's Paradise was shelved years ago. Now we know why.

Even rich people get bad work done. Sometimes it's not even necessarily "bad".....but jarring because of the difference.....which can also qualify as bad.

moot the hopple posted:Glenn was pretty good in BlackBerry. The kind of character he played was definitely already in his wheelhouse, but hopefully it leads to other good roles for him because he's a solid actor. Blackberry was great. Fools Paradise was terrible. Not only was it mostly unfunny.....but it was so disjointed that I have trouble understanding how it got released like that.

CPColin posted:I think it was released like that because the studio was tired of waiting and decided it wasn't going to get any better. I wonder what the movie was like before the reshoots. Maybe it was more coherent but said even less? Possible that it was doomed from the moment it had been written.

dorium posted:It's worst problem honestly was him just hiring his buddies for every part in the movie and they're all phoning it in. Charlie is fully committed to the bit, but everyone else is at a 25% energy level and I dont think really had any idea why they were there. Glenn and Ken Jeong were the only guys who seemed like they got what the movie was going for and did something, but it never fully gels into something coherent. It's a shame too because Charlie is striving for a very broad and funny idea and it shines through when its just him on the screen or with people who get it, but otherwise really flat and rough. I hope he doesnt quit trying to direct, but I think he needs a better team around him to support it much more clearly and playing to his strengths. If he wants to continue to direct, he will. I don't think Fools Paradise reflects too much on his ability. It was just a weird route to go right from beginning. I mean.....there's a reason why these types of comedies aren't made anymore.
