Without spoiling the plot, he ingeniously repeats the same idea in various exasperated ways. Tautology is my favorite comedic device, and Brooks is the best at it.

Particularly for you Americans out there. As with all the best comedy, I hear a line from this show in my head almost everyday as things happen around me. ‘This is the one thing we didn’t want to happen’ etc. The video FX and editing are genius and have not been beaten imo.

a perfect satire, i think about this all the time. takes all of the cliches of the “dudes talking” podcasts out there and doubles down on all of them. between this and on cinema, tim heidecker knows the media landscape better than anyone else

Started this research project after reading about Georgina Weldon. She’s notorious for having a litigation addiction but I’m obsessed with the time Gounod asked for his sheet music back after their divorce and she sent it with her name written across every page. When he attempted to have her committed, she escaped and tried to press charges against him, even though married women couldn't initiate civil suits. When that failed, she shared her story with the papers to get him to sue her for libel. After the Married Woman's Property Act passed, she was simultaneously involved in seventeen legal cases. Highly recommend researching Kiki De Montparnasse, Dora Maar, Jeanne Duval, Camille Claudel, Aicha Goblet and Lizzie Siddal.

I watched this for the first time at the most perfect age to absorb it forever. One of the most formative experiences of my life. There’s no pretense - never is with Mitski - but here her spirit is on full display. The most compelling performance is Class of 2013, wherein she screams into her guitar during the third verse, “Mom will you wash my back this once, and then we can forget.” I’ve replayed that part probably 30 times.

I forget how exhilarating it feels when a new release instantly becomes an all-time favorite. It's something I secretly hope for with every first listen. This album hits like a hot bath and captures the essence of a throbbing bodiless anatomical heart with wings.
