YES, it’s the whole damn show.
If you don’t know how awesome this is, I can not help you. I’m bummed that you had such bad homeschooling.
Just go relax and let the David Lynch wash over you.
There is not much more that needs to be said about this franchise unless you live outside the USA and/or live under a rock.
I really enjoyed this one. Dont really remember how different it is to the other two stories, but for some reason I just dug it.
holdmelike asked: THANK YOU!!! THIS BLOG IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Very nice of you to say! I just started a new gig, but now that I’m settled, the posts will come back with more regularity. (I’d just queue them, but the Tumblrs have a sucky queueing system.)
Just found this from my friend Lily. Great collection of recommendations!
All four seasons are streamable!
For those who don’t know: In real life, Garry Shandling was on the shortlist to get Jonny Carson’s seat on the Tonight Show. Once Leno got it, Garry started this series about making a late night talk show.
Very meta, very funny. With lots of great hairstyles and clothes from the early 1990s! Also a great cast that includes Jeffrey Tambor (who plays his sidekick and also starred in Arrested Development) and Janeane Garofalo.
Here’s the blurb from Netflix:
This award-winning comedy show ran from 1992 to 1998 and relentlessly skewers the talk show industry with wit, ingenuity and biting humor. Featuring Garry Shandling as the sheltered host, Jeffrey Tambor as his insecure sidekick, Rip Torn as Larry’s gruff producer, and a slew of celebrity guests, the talk show that airs is the least of the fun. The real laughs are in the crew’s interactions while the camera’s not rolling.

All four seasons of Kids In The Hall is on the stream!
Do I really have to explain the show? Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, just go. Now.
Here’s the blurb on Netflix:
Sketch comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall — Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson — turn the mundane into the surreal with their zany characters and stories in this Emmy-nominated series. Highlights from Season 1 include discussions about menstruation, the story of the big crouton, the wisdom of the 30 Helens, and the exploits of Cabbage Head, Head Crusher and Buddy Cole.
This movie opened up my eyes on what an entertaining concert film can be when you actually BELIEVE in the music. In this case: Tom Waits.
Part concert, part theater, part over-the-top glitz. Tom Waits at the top of his game as composer, actor, personality.
Pure brilliance.
Here’s the blurb on Netflix:
In this bizarre and captivating performance, singer-songwriter and actor Tom Waits weaves together concert footage with a variety of inventive scenarios in which he assumes quirky personalities, including a ticket seller and a comedian. A highly original creation full of surprises, this intriguing showcase features music from the Waits albums “Frank’s Wild Years,” “Rain Dogs” and “Swordfishtrombones.”
On a rainy winter night, how can you say No to a fake documentary about Joaquin Phoenix quitting the acting biz and becoming a rapper?
Seriously.
Not the best film, but a great piece of profanity and drugs!
Here’s the blurb on Netflix:
In 2008, Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix walked away from acting to pursue a rap career, an inexplicably bizarre detour captured in stunning detail in this documentary directed by Phoenix’s brother-in-law, Casey Affleck. Some speculated Phoenix’s behavior was part of a well-orchestrated hoax — or, even worse, a mental breakdown. But some of the film’s graphic footage suggests it could have been a little of both.
