Holy poo poo. I was completely floored by what happened in the Coming to America segment after what we saw in the YouTube clip.

Casting PewDiePie as techno god would have been some sweet meta poo poo.

Didn't PewDiePie get in trouble for sponsoring racially insensitive stunts recently, and it led to his YouTube show being cancelled? I wonder how much of the adaptations to Tech Boy were inspired by that

Is it just me, or was the decapitation horribly directed? Bad editing, camera work, nonexistent special effects

I'd like to think they were related. The mom was played by the same actress as Old Essie, which suggested some sort of lineage of similar looking women.

Also I'd like to point out that the music selection was amazing this episode.

Alternate take: in reality Essie actually looks nothing like Laura, but is played by Emily Browning because Laura reminds Sweeney of Essie, and maybe these scenes are from his point of view and his memories.

Cousin Jack is either the faeries name or type in the book, I'm not that up on cornish mythology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knocker_(folklore)

quote:

In the 1820s, immigrant Welsh miners brought tales of the knockers and their theft of unwatched items and warning knocks to western Pennsylvania, when they gravitated there to work in the mines. Cornish miners, much sought after in the years following the gold and silver rushes, brought them to California and Nevada.[1] When asked if they had relatives who would come to work the mines, the Cornish miners always said something along the lines of "Well, me cousin Jack over in Cornwall wouldst come, could ye pay �is boat ride", and so came to be called Cousin Jacks.[2] The Cousin Jacks, as notorious for losing tools as they were for diving out of shafts just before they collapsed, attributed this to their diminutive friends and refused to enter new mines until assured by the management that the knockers were already on duty. Even non-Cornish miners, who worked deep in the earth where the noisy support timbers creaked and groaned, came to believe in the Tommyknockers.[3] The American interpretation of knockers seemed to be more ghostly than elvish

This is cool stuff.

I could be wrong but it looks like there's another White Jesus, and he wears polos and khakis

every one of those guys was Jesus

yes but I was under the assumption that there would only be one Jesus per race because of the casting that we found out a couple weeks ago, and now it looks like maybe we're getting two white Jesuses

That was kind of an underwhelming episode. The story tried to juggle too many balls and didn't quite keep it together, the CG was noticeably inferior compared to the other episodes, Judy Garland was not fun at all. Meh.

Edit: I should walk that back a little. The Bilquis stuff was well done, it was just at the House on the Rock that the CG started to look bad and the storytelling got clumsy
