the show about the show

Caveh Zahedi's web-only (unless you were watching Brooklyn public access 8 years ago) Show About the Show is chaotic perfection (and a direct influence on the Black Mirror season 6 episode 'Joan Is Awful' if you saw that). I'll just let Joe Swanberg describe it: "Using a combination of direct address to the camera, staged recreations, documentary footage and interviews to tell the tale of each [previous] episode being made, Zahedi puts together a show that feels in control of its tone, yet out of control of the implications of its own existence." P.S. at some point Caveh starts getting sued by his wife about the show so the remaining episodes are only available on his website

JOE PERA TALKS TO YOU

For some reason I can't stop watching this quaint, gentle, contemplative, and cerebral TV show. I rarely watch TV--especially these days. But for some reason I just find the relaxing tone and EXTREMELY subtle humor of Joe Pera's show here to be something really special. It's about the closest a "comedy" show can come to creating the sensation of ambient music. I just like to put this on and vibe.

the Chris Gethard Show

Hugely creative comedy talk show that aired on public access in New York. You might know Gethard from the Beautiful/Anonymous podcast these days or his HBO special, but back then he was an improviser who had improvisers doing bits on a late night talk show. I linked to a good starter episode - you'll know within 5 minutes if it's for you.
Featuring: a live band, live call-ins, random people added to the cast, a different musical guest every show, a human fish, a studio audience of superfans, a variety of topics like Loser is the New Nerd, How do Girls Work, The Genuine Sadness Episode, Turtle Birthday and many more.
It was my PI back when it aired every Wednesday.

not telling people stuff

they do not need to know. they don't need to know. they really shouldn't know. just keep your head down and your mouth shut and keep it pushing.

This Light - Google Drive

the best and easiest to access archive of free movies I've seen on the internet. this google drive folder has thousands of films and basically covers the entire history of tasteful, cool, and/or groundbreaking cinema. there are deep cuts like Abel Ferrara's debut feature - 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy (a porno from 1970) - and classics like Barry Lyndon. There's hundreds of random DVD extras, a bunch of licensed stock footage, curated collections in folders like "Male Manipulators" and definitely a lot of stuff I haven't figured out yet. It's kind of an unorganized shit show in there but you gotta dig through dirt to find gold, so just shut up and grab ur shovel. I wish I found this when I was a teenager because it would have changed my life.
