Top commenter describes it as "like a show put together by patients in a mental hospital"! Unwind with the sweeties is a 90s public access show about an odd dead eyed couple in colorful ski-mask looking puppetheads surrounded by an assortment of odd knick knacks. They refer to eachother and the audience as sweeties, chat, play with objects, make faces and sing songs to eachother π¬
Nothing particularly horrible ever happens aside from some slight bleeding, screaming and weird dialogue but it undulates perfectly in the territory of absurd, sweet, relaxing and unnerving. It was ahead of its time and would 100% be a cult hit show on Adult Swim if it was made today.

hear me out, y'all. this has been my comfort show for like a hundred years. it never gets old. the epitome of #wholesome.
do you love:
-tiny coastal towns
-bumbling nephews
-old people having crushes on each other
-grumpy small-town doctors
-cops being shown up by an old lady
-that same old lady confronting murderers and saying things to them like, "now stop this fiddle faddle!"
if you answered "yes" to any of the above, this show is for you!
maybe it's just because i spent most of my childhood around no-nonsense, bookish, old people in new england, but this show is A VIBE so stop sleeping on it.

And pink and red striped marimekko slippers.
Because I'm having tea on the balcony watching the rain and because this dress is a big A-line sack made from a cotton bedspread its literally the most comfortable moo moo in the world that doesn't look like a moo moo.

Is my favourite documentary in the world. Stylishly directed in black and white by Bennett Miller (best known for Capote and Moneyball), it circles around the magnificently exuberant existence of the playwright turned apple city tour guide Timothy "Speed" Levitch as he muses on the city of NY on and off his double decker bus.
I have a tendency to let my frustrations of the world to clench my muscles up and this is the film equivalent of a lump of mdma to melt my heart back open again with every rewatch. A poet can have an intense love affair with a bridge and a great poet can word it in a way that convinces you that they're not mad; or that even if they are, they are mad in the exact way life is supposed to be experienced in the first place.
A must-see for anyone who holds a warm spot in their heart for the insomniac city, or at least what it once could be through the eyes of an intensely intuned romantic eccentric.
