Favorite ITYSL sketches?

What makes you think The Bear won't return to its "blue collar" roots from Season 1? I think that with the strike, money will be at the forefront of ppls minds when writing/viewing the eventual 3rd season (if it wasn't already written/being written before the strike was called).

You had a great episode about AI taking over as a result of the writers strike. Any thoughts or videos being produced about how creative jobs are being offshored? I heard Netflix is putting big money into its Korean and Japan production studios as a result of the writers strike. Seeing parallels to how manufacturing got offshored to China and Mexico after US unions in the factories got “too expensive”’for management

Have you watched I'm A Virgo made by Boots Riley? It's a short watch and it has some great stuff to say about art, propanagda, policing, and capitalism. It would be almost impossible for a show to be more direct than it is. Boots Riley also made Sorry To Bother You which was also fantastic but focuses more on labour than policing.

1. Watching season 2 of the bear got me thinking about tv/film romances. I liked Claire, but a lot of how the romance storyline between her and carmy was written was reminiscent of the traditional Hollywood "girl next door/dream girl" love story that I think gets critiqued a lot in the present and claire definitly feels a little too perfect. (I still felt for the romance subplot hook line and sinker though. The fact that they used a song from one of my all time favorite bands at the close of the episode where they kiss made it feel like the creators were specifically trying to appeal to me, and it worked) What do you think makes for a good TV romance story? Do you think writing romance on tv is hard? Why is there so much debate these days online about whether every relationship on TV or movies is either a OTP or ' completly toxic?' (Aside from the obvious fact that our cultures understanding if healthy romantic partnerships is totally fucked up and colored by misogyny. ) 2. Res Dogs is ending with season 3 this year and I was surprised to learn It was an intentional decision by the shows creators. While I'll miss the show? I respect that decision immensely and there are times I wish it was more common that people did things like that or had the luxury to make that choice. Only other recent example i can think of is hbo's watchmen. Are there any shows you wish had ended their runs earlier than they ultimately did? (Aside from some of the more obvious candidates like the office.) 3. Finally I wanted to ask if you ever watched American vandal on Netflix? Only 2 seasons but I found it to be a really clever satire of 'true crime' and how problematic it can be. Been thinking of rewatching it because while it ended years ago i have read more about cultural perceptions of crime in the US and how crime perception is affected by media and I'm curious to see how that knowledge influence my views of the show. PS. Don't know if you have seen the newest philosophy tube episode on how the police make up the law, but she discusses a book written by a British police officer and alot of the perspectives he has are identical to the ones of our old friend David Simon. No question here, just thought it was interesting. :)

I saw in your mailbag that you started watching Peaky Blinders; I remember not being able to push past the first season, as I found the directing too self-indulgent. To me it felt like we got slow-mo shots and gimmicky camera moves because the crew wanted to show off, not because it conveyed meaning within the story. Is it a vibe you're feeling too or am I delusional? What would you say is your favorite show judging by visuals alone? Of all the shows you've watched, which would you say has the worst quality of writing to quality of directing ratio? As in, a great script with bland to bad presentation? Have a nice day!

Hello, new patron here! I have really enjoyed your Copaganda series. The police are a repressive tool of the state, set in place to uphold the bourgeoisie and their capitalist system. The episode about Fentanyl was hilarious and desperately needed to combat the misinformation created (most likely by the police/DEA) to instill fear in the population. A person is less likely to narcan an individual experiencing an overdose if they believe one spec of fentanyl can kill simply by touching it 😒. I could also go on about the destructive "War on Drugs" and the racist/classist policies it produces. The drug war is a new era of Jim Crow. Anyways, nice to meet you Jackson! You are beautiful, and I look forward to viewing your next episode in the series.
