“Thank God It’s Friday”

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Also of note: the only reason this wasn’t the hit is that it decided to go head to head against “Saturday Night Fever,” and John Travolta was a bigger draw than Jeff Goldblum. Insane. “Last Dance” by Donna Summer got robbed!

Filmed at Studio 54 West, with almost every cross-promotion available to Casablanca records at the time. Disco, KISS, Donna Summer… The decade of decadence. Eerily similar to “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” or “American Graffiti.” Or “Detroit Rock City, ” although I feel this is of higher quality than that record company cross-promotion film.

“Ted Lasso”

9.1

Finally caved and got on the bandwagon. Well worth the all-day binge! Jason Sudeikis kills it as Ted, but has a stellar cast surrounding him that fire on all cylinders every episode. The quality of product here is other-worldly. Another home run for Apple TV+. A work of comedic art, blending wit with just the right amount of edginess and attitude. And inspiration… you’ll be ready to run through walls for coach when it’s all said and done. Whether you enjoy futbol/football/soccer or not, you’ll likely love this lovable lad Lasso. Bravo!

Razor sharp writing. Pushes the envelope in all the right ways. Wit for days. Canada kicking ass in the comedy department.

So many catchphrases… and Bonnie McMurray. *Fans Self*

Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er. Can’t wait for next season!

“Idiocracy”

Uh… this one hit a little too close to home. I laughed my ass off, but there was a strong sense of “yikes, this is a documentary.” Pure Mike Judge. Pure genius.

“Jared Freid: Socially Distanced… Of Course”

By Brett_G on March 6, 2021

8.9

He may be known as the charcuterie “board lord” by most. Still, he’s also pretty damn good at picking up on everything we as a society have been trying to process and work through for the past year and present it perfectly to help us laugh at the absurdity of the things we sometimes take too seriously, and find some common ground with each other as an audience. Socially distanced, of course! Great timing, great material, a fantastic half-hour of laughing your ass off.

🚨Definitely Not For Children🚨

Also, kind of cool the link is the full show. Not just a teaser… Enjoy!
