Let's say — hypothetically — someone DOES NOT want to support Netflix, but DOES want to watch some of their stand-up comedy specials.

.............

Like, is there a cure for that?

I've heard about resources for lots of different kinds of streaming content. Movies, anime, TV series, whatever. It's crazy how much y'all have found out there on the webz.

Never seen ANY resource like those for stand-up comedy, though. Which is interesting.

John Mulaney: Baby J (dir. Alex Timbers).

It’s been an tumultuous few years for John Mulaney. He comically sums up his highly-publicized struggles with addiction and the unhealthy interest in his personal life or supposed “good guy” public image. Originally toured under the title “From Scratch”, the comedian’s latest stand-up comedy special tackles our obsession with celebrity culture and parasocial relationships with famous people in a blisteringly funny manner.

Adam Sandler: Love You (2024) review

Feel like I am the last person on Earth to discover that Adam Sandler can play guitar, and play it WELL!! Brother has skills!

Synopsis: Adam Sandler hits the stage for a thrillingly unpredictable comedy special featuring songs, jokes, party-crashing dogs and plenty of love.

I don’t tend to review stand-up specials/shows on here, as I prefer talking about film and on occasion TV shows. However with Adam Sandler’s new Netflix special Love You, this one happens to be an odd munchkin among the crowd. You see this special mixes in cinematic tropes and techniques to deliver a unique and different experience. Directed by Josh Safdie, who previously worked with Sandler in the stressful and frenetic Uncut Gems, and essentially that style is incorporated into this special. For the comedy club where Sandler is performing is not a real one, but in fact a built set that imitates in Safdie’s own words “the worst venue ever”.

Through the course of Sandler’s bits, Safdie would consistently utilise the set to cause various distractions and things going wrong like having a hole on stage, or a random dog crash the set, and then having Sandler react to it all with his regular improv sarcastic way. Of course this being Safdie he also films the whole thing super claustrophobic and up-close, creating that sense of unease, which I found to be a wonderful experimental way of delivering this special. Because when a comic is on stage, everything is under his/her control. That is the unwritten rule. Everything has to work perfectly to ensure that the jokes play out exactly as they intended them to. So Safdie/Sandler essentially are breaking all the rules here, taking that control aspect away from the comic. It’s an interesting experiment, and one that I found vigorously entertaining.

As for the stand-up show itself, it’s really funny. What I like about Adam Sandler’s comedic style on stage is that he is a storyteller. He isn’t simply building up to a single punch line. The entire bit is a punchline that consistently keeps on giving. Even the more vulgar stuff (Sandler seems to really like discussing penises and whacking off) didn’t seem like cheap low brow humour, but instead felt earned, as the way he told the story, the whole thing came together really well. I particularly enjoyed the gags about the balloon, genie and word spellings, but in all honestly 90% of the jokes hit the mark. This all is also accompanied by Sandler playing various guitars in different styles and singing silly songs, and look, your entertainment value of this thing is based sorely on how much you find the Sandman funny. Of course Safdie’s filmmaking tricks are a nice addition, but this is Sandler’s show through and through and the fella owns it.

Evidently you can tell Adam Sandler is getting more sentimental with age, as his special ends with him playing a song showcasing his respect for other comedians in history who share in his craft, with a montage in the background playing clips of the famous comics, which was a true love letter to the art of comedy, that is sure to put a smile on your face. Was it a bit on the nose and out of place? Maybe. Was the part where Rob Schneider popped up as Elvis for absolutely no reason necessary and the worst part of the special? Quite likely. But Adam Sandler you love us, and we love you. Keep being a funny guy!

Overall score: 8/10

Hit Man (2024) | Adria Arjona as Madison Figueroa Masters and Glen Powell as Gary Johnson 

[learningfromlosing]

Erin is such a good example of why kids will end up doing some stuff that isn't good for them bc they feel lost and alone. She's such a perfect character to dissect that in. She started out as a straight A student with a conforming kind of sweetness to her and her look. Then when she's moved from all her friends, her mom goes to prison, and her dad is constantly being pulled away by his very important job, she starts spiraling into this confusion based fall. It shows that even if her parents try they can still be neglectful and not notice that their kid needs more help. That this former straight A student is spiking people's smoothes because she can't understand her feelings. How this good kid starts trying to smoke and is falling into the arms of men who are taking advantage of her bc they're giving her some attention. I feel you Erin. The 18 year old inside me feels you Erin. Hang in there kid.

Hey Tumblr, there's a new historical/period comedy series on Netflix which you will love! It's called 1670! It's about Polish nobility and their peasant-thralls. However, Netflix is not promoting it to international audiences, bc it's Polish, even though there are subtitles available in so many languages!

It has:

Great Humour

Amazing Polish Folk Music

Historical Costumes that are not Western!

CANON LESBIANS

One of the said lesbians is a repressed lesbian w religious trauma & the subplot lasts longer than one episode

Priest Jakub

A really good combination of making historical and ahistorical jokes

And much more!

Seriously, give it a watch bc I'd hate to see only my Polish mutuals watch it, it's new, it's fresh, it's witty, not another remake, and it shows another culture & history! (aren't you tired of watching yet another show on the English monarchy, then 1670 is there for ya)
