No Mods No Masters posted:It's pretty nice that hbo max has all the shows in the nathanverse. I'm going to check out the john wilson this week, but going back through some choice NFY eps is also tempting Joe Pera Talks With You is also a good ol' time, not so much meta or playing with perception as being gentle and good-humored, like a Sesame Street for grown-ups. I can easily imagine it being Nathan's bedtime show (in or out of character).

Lastdancer posted:this is a working simulation of a real Rehearsal discussion thread My first step was to make an error that the average poster would recognize as normal behavior. I clicked on the reply button and typed, reply is not edit. Even though the post did not contribute anything to the discussion, it granted me powerful camouflage.

Second episode made me laugh, overall liked it, but seeing that the third episode will continue this family business has me pretty skeptical Nathan will make something compelling out of it. I'm just worried he will lean on the "yearning for a family" lever too hard/often. Or maybe that's right where he wants me and my mind will be blown by the actual story! Enjoyed the first episode a lot more, though.

Okay, I bitched about the second episode, but YES OH YES this third episode brought everything I love about Fielder/this premise roaring back to life. Extremely glad he zeroed in on what I thought was one of the most poignant moments of the first episode (getting good at the rehearsal not being enough to replicate what the real encounter will feel like). The rehearsal-inception was fantastic here, as was the resolution (staring at a carnival ride with no passengers while actually being deserted). As for the Angela stuff, it feels like she is given a wide berth for her overall rehearsal and Nathan is making it work as best he can. Pulling in other scenarios and using narration to tie scenes/themes together is working brilliantly to capitalize on a central figure who does not seem to want to challenge herself or her views at all. Shamelessly letting other people set up the farm but happy to walk by in the morning and pluck whole vegetables from the ground. Plus the whole Halloween "debate" where she deny any facts that don't fit her narrative. Just Google it! But don't trust Google, they're controlled by Satan. But we should all try to be better informed... by the right sources, which are the ones that agree with her. I am okay with whatever level of artifice is sustaining this show. Magic is real!

Brightman posted:The show is either for us or our enjoyment is completely superfluous. I am hopeful that once the final episode concludes and we try to recount the show to anyone else, it will feel kind of like thinking back on Mr. Rogers and all the effort one guy put into making children feel better and more secure about themselves and the world. Or maybe Nathan just wants to go to more interesting parties and needs us all to get on his level. Space Fish fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Aug 6, 2022 |

Baron von Eevl posted:Was Angela told it was going to happen? Was it for her benefit? For ours? Despite Angela accepting it as whatever works for "the show," maybe Nathan is demonstrating a reset power for Angela to use later on. As in, all that satanic stuff that could ruin her children? Let's act them all out. Really take it seriously and rewind away each time. One live-action Chick Tract PSA after another.

Fly Ricky posted:Plex dims the screen while paused so no screen-cap, but if Angela was trying to make a pasta pentagram she should have rehearsed it. She was trying to see how easily it forms a pentagram before boiling the rest of the evil out of it (pasta is satanic, google it, unless the devil already got to those search results, but it's common knowledge anyway, open your eyes).

Open Source Idiom posted:Which Nathan are we talking about here -- Nathan Fielder, the human being running a prank show, or "Nathan", the character he's constructed through voice over and editing? Nathan is an improv guy, and like all improv guys he's chasing any set of circumstances that will allow him to both perform for others and incorporate them into the act. Everything on the show follows from this central truth.

Escobarbarian posted:Incredibly stupid article from the usually very good Sepinwall https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/rehearsal-finale-nathan-fielder-1234578043/ Went in expecting some strong obliviousness/overreaction, came back thinking this is a case of the headline writer not quite matching the body text. Sepinwall described the events, high points, and moral/narrative gray areas pretty well. That he ended up feeling more conflicted about it than some other viewers is fair enough. Season 2: The Rehearsal as practice run at life before we go to the great beyond? Angela's probably already down for that.

George H.W. oval office posted:How To With John Wilson was produced by Nathan but that's about it and is also good Do we know if Nathan helped John find subjects for the individual profiles, or did John just run into them on his own? They both seem to specialize in giving platforms to eccentric/hyper-fixated personalities...
