 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnJh4o8iwx0 The Rehearsal is a new show from Nathan Fielder of Nathan for You fame. Fielder is also the producer of the absolutely excellent HBO show How To With John Wilson quote:Nathan Fielder (Nathan For You, HBO’s How To with John Wilson) returns to television for a new series that explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance? Just days away from air date and we finally have a real trailer. It looks like fans of NFY will likely not be disappointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fjPFt8cpic For anyone not familiar with his other work get on it. It's some of the funniest media ever produced by a human https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7BlydBMAVU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vbCKava_JE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCNsx_NyNOU

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Yeah, I always wondered even with Nathan For You how much behind-the-scenes sleight of hand was going on in terms of letting people know what they've actually gotten themselves into / how they come across in the larger context of the show. Because if they don't find out until it actually airs then woof some of these folks are probably gonna have some awkward situations to untangle. Afaik they never let anyone in on the joke with NFY. A few people featured on it did Reddit AMAs and I think for the most part people just go along with it because they want to be on TV or don't want to be rude etc. They seemed to mostly just think it was fun that they got on TV regardless of how they were portrayed. Nathan for You was actually really close to the concept for the Rehearsal in how it was made. The episodes were basically scripted as much as possible around predicting how regular people would react to the situations he put them in. And although I've never seen Nathan comment on it, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say they use editing heavily to get the narrative/comedy they are looking for even if it means misrepresenting exactly how things went down. There were always a lot of what I'm pretty sure are real moments on the show though. And with the rehearsal am 100% convinced that the dude lying about his degree actually was a really big deal to him, and that he was alarmingly serious about bar trivia

One thing that surprised me about the Rehearsal so far was that the actors he hired are actually good. Was 100% expecting "the first actor that responded to my craigslist ad" being a huge part of the butt of the joke. But honestly the two main actors in this episode knocked it out of the park and it actually added more nuance to the whole thing instead of it feeling like a straight up gag. Like, I felt like I could sense that the woman who played the friend found the real woman super annoying and channeled it into her performance in a way that actually really reminded me of their birding encounter. And the dude who played Cal(?) really sold his disgust with nathans trivia fixing. I won't spoil it but the NPR played a pretty wild clip with one of the actors and I have no idea what is real or fake anymore. I can't wait to see the context when the episode airs.

Argue posted:Got a link at least? I listened on old timey radio but I'm sure they uploaded it to the site. It was a clip of one of the actresses (furious) saying something along the lines of "So am I the joke? When this airs is that the comedy just making me look stupid?" Nathan: "No it's the situation that's silly. That's not what I'm trying to do" "I watched your show I don't believe you" or something really close to that. And they didn't give context so tbh I have no idea if it's something that's part of the bit or someone calling him out hard or whatever.

Yeah they do say he asks her to do it as a potential outcome. I meant that the sell was good enough that I really couldn't tell if there was some sincerity behind it, and I'm not sure what the context was in regard to the theme of the episode.

Yeah moment to moment its not as laugh out loud hilarious as NFY but I think it’s just as good. The tone is just different and feels more surreal. There was still rarely more than a couple of minutes going by where I wasn’t cracking up though. Even though John Wilson isn’t Nathan’s show I’d say the rehearsal is tonally closer to that than it is to NFY.

I used to have a regular team gig with a group that contained a literal rocket scientist and we usually made money. Yeah.

Both Rehearsal and NFY are comedy shows first and foremost. They both use real, unscripted people but ultimately they are there for laughs, to make the story more entertaining, and make the premise work. It's a lot closer to something like...Check it out With Steve Brule than it is to a documentary. If honestly depicting reality is that much of a concern for you it's probably not for you, but I think you are watching it with the wrong mindset.

TychoCelchuuu posted:It's not a "feature" that if you think about it really hard and pay close attention then you realize that it's likely that Fielder's conversation with Kor's actor took place after, rather than before, Fielder's failure to admit to Kor that Fielder fed Kor the answers. The TV show is not trying to make you realize this. No. His whole shtick is a joke that is flying a mile over your head. It's not a reality show. It's absurd surrealist comedy. What you are looking for out of it is not what it is at all, hence why I think you should probably just find another show to watch. E: I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm just saying that this show, or anything else he has done is not going to please you if you are looking for honesty from it. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Jul 19, 2022 |

Khanstant posted:No way of even knowing if it's a real Nathan or a Nathan impersonator. A lot of Nathanheads have speculated ever since one of the private detective NFY episodes that Nathan actually switch lives with one of the decoys. If you pay attention you can tell episodes they shot before and after that one because "Nathan" has a slightly different accent and microexpressions. Rumor has it that this is now the real Nathan

Nothing about the logistics of faking moving the set makes sense. If that were the case the show flew the girl from episode 2 to new york just to pretend they moved it, while her being there didn’t really add anything to the episode. Or they lied about it being in NY in the first place and flew the entire cast of episode 1 to Oregon any time the fake alligator was on screen lol. And it’s obviously in a different warehouse now than the one it was in in the first episode. I think a lot more sensible answer is that they built the set with the intent to move it so it could eventually fit into whatever Rube Goldberg machine this show is currently setting up.

It’s amazing a woman who is probably well into her 30s told him that under no circumstances would she have sex before marriage, and his thought process was “but…I’m good looking? I’m still gonna have sex with her, tonight”

That entire interview is gold. The full Scion TC story lol. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Also, I love how nothing is ever his fault, but his explanation for why never makes any sense. quote:Probably the funniest thing Stone did on the show was leave in the middle of the night, claiming he needed a good rest, on his first night as Angela’s simulated co-parent. Stone said that the crew of The Rehearsal gave him the impression that the robotic baby’s cries wouldn’t be as loud or as frequent as they ended up being in the show. This too lol quote:All in all, Stone is frustrated that The Rehearsal cut his appearance down to only the “douchey” things he said and did. But he isn’t sure that he would have done or said anything differently. Even his comment to Fielderabout wanting to sleep with Angela even though she is celibate, which he acknowledged came across as crass, was something he could justify. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Jul 26, 2022 |
