short-lived animated show about a group of friends learning life in ny. the whole series is on youtube. no one i know irl has seen this, i wish more people knew about it.
of all the tiny majestic shows i’ve come across, this one spoke most deeply to my inner grungy skateboarding man. the show is constantly in conversation with itself, not to mention its trippy as hell. i can never bring myself to binge shows, but this one ascends my predetermined notions of myself, i can finish this series in one sitting. if i were to recommend only one show, it would be this.
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.
took a spontaneous trip to see the new alien movie today ive never been to see a horror movie alone at the cinema before so it felt all the more immersive for me, would recommend going to get scared alone even if you’re a scaredy-cat like me :)
