I'm also watching Nathan For You. Season 4 cos I never watched it before.

I liked episode 1 (fake micheal richards tip in diner), the whole thing was good. Episode 2 was kinda stupid. Very tim and eric (the chili suit with the toilet humour is really close to a diarrhea suit bit they had), and didn't suit the idea I have of Nathan's style. Gonna continue on though - I've never seen Finding Frances and I only just realised it's 90 minutes so it's basically a movie, really curious about it.

I rewatched it's last night and it's still phenomenal. I'd totally forgotten there's a pretty significant "rehearsal" segment in it too.

On the one hand NYF and The Rehearsal are incredible tv.

On the other hand, Nathan antagonized a bipolar guy during a NYF scene and said guy later had a mental break, which has since led to members of my family possibly getting a restraining order against the guy for harrassment. Like I don't think his appearance on the show directly led to this, the guy was always an rear end in a top hat, but being humiliated on TV probably didn't help. It does make me watch the show a bit differently tho.

Edit: can't go into more detail sorry

Oh come on lol

Huh, that last pic with the masks makes me think this happened after the show finished filming but I guess who knows how long filming took. Episodes 1 and 2 had to have been in 2019 though

Watching the Micheal Richards Tip N4U episode again and Austin Bowers, the ghostwriter for "The Diarrhea Times" is an underrated character. I love how he repeats his article "Pokémon Sun & Moon Has Fans Starry-Eyed" for 4 issues in a row

side note: I'd love someone to write a book on religion for dummies that spells out the differences in beliefs between all the different religions and denominations and how they all evolved/branched out from each other.

It's so weird to me that Jesus was a Jew but like, Christians think Jews are all going to hell. And then there is Nathan style Jews versus the sidelock wearing Orthodox/Hasidic Jews that clearly have different beliefs.

Angela honestly breaks the schism down pretty well here. To very very much simplify it, Old Testament scripture, held in common by Christians and Jews, prophecies the coming of a savior or a messiah. Christians believe Jesus was that person, Jews don't believe it's happened yet.

In that radio interview Nathan kept talking about his favorite reality show "gay army" and other shows that inspired Love in the 3rd degree and I can't stop laughing at the trailer. The show seems to be mostly lost though, it's from 2006

I think the truth of it is a lot of people would have pulled out earlier if it wasn’t Fielder. The show is slow and doesn’t necessarily have big payoffs, but everyone is hanging on the idea that once the finale episode drops it will be quite the experience when looked at in whole.

I was thinking last week how I would feel about this show if I had no idea who Safdie or Fielder were and had zero preconceptions and honestly I have no clue lol.

It's kind of similar to Patriot though that leaned slightly further into literal funny-comedy - things get progressively worse and more tense for the protagonist in a comedically-escalating way despite never or rarely having "jokes", it's 'funny' in the sense that it keeps one-upping itself in just how atrocious it gets. Just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, they do, usually in an unexpected way.

Patriot is so loving good man. It was done very dirty by both the name (which is on the other hand a great name especially in the greek origin sense of of one's father) and being in the dregs of Amazon Prime with no marketing. Perfect show.

I'm sure most of it was just filming in a room built upside down, but there was something strangely convincing about the effect that I can't put my finger on

It honestly freaked me out a bit. Pretty creepy!

Finally getting around to watching this. Loving it so far. Comparison's to David Lynch are apt - the willingness to linger on shots, ample use of character actors (Gary Farmer!!! Barkhad!!!) is a treat. Just finishing episode 3.

It makes me sad that so many people I know who've watched this talk about it in terms of "I can only watch one episode at a time" or felt like it made them overly uncomfortable. It's not that it's not uncomfortable at times, but it's not like watching a cow birth videos.

Glad you're enjoying it, stay clear of spoilers in this thread, but get back to me in a few episodes because "like watching a cow birth video" is almost the description I never knew I needed for how queasy some parts made me lol
