my dad is singularly obsessed rn with this japanese eating show named kodoku no gourmet http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kodoku_no_Gurume it's about this guy who travels and eats poo poo in japan the episodes have one format and one format only: 1. he does some desultory business poo poo for like 2 minutes 2. fucks off 3. eats food, delicious food like, actually eats it, the actor guy if it's a second take, he eats some more even see swallowing guy's a pro so my dad calls it a mukbang, which is not inaccurate, tbh also, despite it being about food in real restaurants, literally every single person, the server, the other customers, the people he does business with, is a paid-up union actor, so no stupid food show bullshit. every word of the business pablum and the server's talking is scripted. but they could cheap the gently caress out on main characters, since it's.... the one guy. it's him eating, completely alone, in peace also loving weird-rear end internal monologue also god-tier facial expressions   according to my dad, translated: "hmm, if they aired this in the US, it would be pretty popular" mom in the same chatroom: "they already have this poo poo in the us" dad: "hmm.... no they dont" "guy smokes too much for a pg rating tho" lol watching the pork foot episode and he burns the pork foot in the yakiniku style dealio much cinema verite now that I'm being forced to watch, now there's like a normal-cooking show portion which shows the degree to which normal go-travelling-around food shows suck, cuz they aren't composed of someone just... eating... alone... curufinor fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Jun 2, 2017 |

ok, "obsessed" is a little too weak a word "has apparently been watching every single night for the last... 3 years" there isn't even that many episodes of the lonely gourmet, he's just been repeating them over and over the last time dad got this bad was when he watched "as good as it gets" 200 times in a row
