It's funny how for a long time now, shows and movies aren't allowed to have passive or overly emotional mob wives. It's always, "the twist is the wife is actually the smart/savvy/ruthless one!" So much so that it's actually become cliche.
It was pretty funny that Gaitok and Mook were all smiles and positive vibes hours after five people left their hotel in a bodybag.
This show has never really been about the mystery or whodunit. So I can't say I'm all that disappointed. Maybe a little. I didn't mind the darker, moodier tone. I may be a victim of recency bias but the cast as a whole seemed like the strongest. Jennifer Coolidge was addition by subtraction. Carrie Coon's monologue might have been the best scene in the series.
I'm happy for Mike White and impressed he's been able to crank out three solid seasons. Been a fan of his since I saw Chuck and Buck at The Angelika in downtown Houston. This show kinda came out of nowhere and it's kind of amazing that it's become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon.
My thai food prediction was correct btw. I went to get our pickup order and was elbow to elbow with delivery drivers crammed into the front of the place. Order was 30min late. At one point this poor server had like 25 tickets spread across the hostess stand. Reminded me of that scene from The Bear.
Akiva Schaffer of Lonely Island (SNL shorts,Hot Rod, Popstar) directing makes me hopeful it will be solid. Been a fan of their comedic stylings for a long ass time now.
When Gerry said "I spy a pg" or whatever, I wondered if that player was literally on campus at the time.
(Moviefone voice) "why don't you just TELL me the name of the pg you spied!"
Beard has proven over and over again throughout his career that he's not really loyal to anyone except Chris Beard. He'll fake it when convienent. But If he truly gave a fuck about Texas, he'd still be here.
Dunno why anyone would confidently believe he'd never go to aggy.
This tweet has now ascended to something even beyond the freezing cold take hall of fame. It should be on a plaque. Right next to the '39 champs hardware.
I think the entire episode was a legit "oner." Variety article
Funny that the Netflix show Adolescence just did the very same thing. Changing locations, following characters in a car, etc. Also not sure if they did it legit or used tricks.
