Yeah I watched for the first time recently and I assumed he'd just be a one-note country bumpkin in the big city. But damn he delivers some of the best lines and his physical comedy is phenomenal (donkey spells!).

Is Norvell going to get fired before Napier? That's a huge upset in itself.

I watched it when I first moved to Texas and didn't really vibe with it until the final 1/3 of the movie when the movie goes off the rails with the family.

I mean I just didn't expect such a biting (pun intended?) critique of the American nuclear family!

So funny! So, so despairing! It really does meet the moment.

Yes I am evangelical about telling people that I bought a Blu-Ray player and rent tons of things I want to watch through the public library system!

Especially for anything before like 2010. Like I just checked and not a single one of Robert Redford's classics are on the major streaming services.

Yeah good point. Bluesky never beating the can't understand a joke allegations.

Is this really not satire? Please tell me they're making a joke.

He’s also quite anti-union too, which I think supports what you’re saying.

For confused people in the comments, this clip is from the greatest video @clickhole.bsky.social ever produced. I learned so much from it.

Did you ever see the clip of Agassi and Sampras sniping at each other at a charity match? Nadal and Federer just standing there looking like they want to disappear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QSK...

I think they'd have a better chance running against the "we're all going to die" senator instead of an open seat?
