Previous Next October 26, 2023 WRITTEN BY: QUENTIN It’s October, which means that almost everything out there is focused on Halloween. Scary this, spooky that. For example, there are at least nine new horror movies dropping this month (10, if you count Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ), not to mention several new horror series releasing across multiple streaming platforms. We aren’t immune either, having already dropped one horror-themed Bitesize Top Five (with another on the way), daily horror recommendations on Twitter (HERE ), and having a few horror-driven articles coming soon. However, a lot of the content out there gets a little repetitive. I mean, how many articles can I read about slasher franchises of the 80s, the brilliance of Get Out , or “Scariest Movies on Netflix?” With that in mind, I wanted to go in a bit of a different direction. But first, let me ask you a question... How many times have you been scrolling through a VOD library…or for my fellow old people, rummaging through a DVD bargain bin at Blockbuster…only to come across some cheap, schlocky-looking horror flick that makes you think, “haha, what the hell is this?!” I’m talking about the Sharknado -tier of movies that have titles made up of two random words drawn from a hat. Or movies with a premise so ridiculous, it’s as if a group of stoned writers won the lottery and decided to make one of their wild edible-driven movie ideas a reality for shits and giggs. These are the movies that we always hear about in meme form, but rarely ever from a person who has actually seen them. This is where I come in. I’ve taken the time to watch seven such movies, doing the legwork to check out what’s actually behind the most ridiculous loglines, pun-tastic titles, and grindhouse artwork I could find. Are they good? Bad? So bad they’re good? For better or worse, you're gonna learn today… FRANKENHOOKER (1990) Synopsis : A medical student sets out to recreate his fiancée, who was tragically decapitated in a lawnmower accident, by building her a new body made of Manhattan prostitutes. With Frankenhooker being the oldest movie on this list, it’s hard to tell if its cheesiness stems from an effort to be cheesy or just because it’s over 30 years old. To be fair, it’s probably a little column A, a little column B; either way, it has the same dated cheesiness as 80s classics (I’m using the term loosely) Once Bitten and Re-Animator . For me, I loved those movies growing up, so the mere fact that Frankenhooker stirred up feelings of nostalgia even though I had never seen it gives it a leg up. On top of that, it has some great 80s nonsense: a buff, mustachioed pimp named Zorro (Joseph Gonzalez) wearing a Mr. T starter kit of gold chains? Check. Absurd practical effects? Double check. More T&A than you can shake a stick at, including 1988’s Penthouse Pet of the Year as the titular character? 36Triple-D check. All of this is to say that 13-year-old Q would have loved this ridiculous take on Weird Science and Frankenstein , which means that 42-year-old Q has a bit of a soft spot for it too. RUBBER (2010) Synopsis : A homicidal car tire, discovering it has destructive psionic power, sets its sights on a desert town once a mysterious woman becomes its obsession. On one hand, I respect writer-director Quentin Dupieux for coming up with an original (if silly) idea and just going for it. On the other hand, this surprisingly meta movie is a total bore. There is little to no actual storyline, and the basic message seems to be that movie fans are wasting their time by watching movies that have “no reason.” Granted, that’s not exactly inaccurate, but relaying that message through a dumb movie seems a little hypocritical. Why are you biting the hand that feeds you, Dupieux? That aside, it plays like a darkly malicious Wall-E , with almost no dialogue outside of the random meta asides. I dunno…. I just think that a movie about a killer tire should have a little fun with the premise, and this movie, seemingly by design, is self-deprecating from the get-go. If the filmmakers don’t think I should watch their movie, then what are we even doing here? ZOMBEAVERS (2014) Synopsis: A fun weekend turns into madness and horror for a bunch of college kids looking for fun in a beaver infested swamp. Two things caught me by surprise when starting this movie: 1… I didn’t realize it was a Universal Studios joint. I thought it was a low-budget indie, so seeing a major studio logo threw me for a minute. And 2… the opening scene features Bill Burr and John Mayer (yes, that John Mayer). I thought for sure I had the wrong movie. But nope! And the surprises didn’t stop there. Zombeavers is actually a pretty solid parody of the “kids at the cabin” horror genre. Granted, it’s not near as sharp as The Cabin in the Woods , but all the familiar characters and tropes are here and adequately skewered. The local mountain hunter, the jock, the dude who is always in a knit cap, the girl who just wanted to be with her girlfriends after a breakup, the horny slut (I’m not shaming!), beer, drugs, sex, and so on. Plus, as the name would suggest, the movie is completely self-aware, making beaver jokes aplenty and using certain camera angles to accentuate the pun (there are even funny outtakes during the credits). Add in the fact that it goes much further with the simple premise than I expected, Zombeavers is easily the best movie on this list. THE VELOCIPASTOR (2017) Synopsis : After losing his parents, a priest (Greg Cohan) travels to China, where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. At first horrified by this new power, a hooker convinces him to use it to fight crime. And ninjas. I’ve been seeing this movie on my various feeds for a while now, so I finally pulled the trigger for this article, for you. Unfortunately, and perhaps expectedly, I was right to keep dodging this drivel. Even at only 68 minutes, it overstays its welcome quickly . For a movie about a guy who turns into a dinosaur like The Incredible Hulk, there is a surprising lack of dinosaur action. And you might be thinking it’s because they couldn’t afford the CGI, which would be fair. However, there is no CGI. It’s a dude in a ridiculous-looking, Party City-level dinosaur costume. I can’t deny I laughed when it first showed up on screen, but that was more disbelief than anything else (I also laughed at cocaine-peddling Christian ninjas). Otherwise, between the unsurprisingly terrible acting, out-of-place punk music needle drops, and taking-themselves-too-seriously-at- not -taking-themselves-too-seriously vibe, it doesn’t hit the self-aware B-movie schlock that it’s going for. SLAXX (2020) Synopsis : When a possessed pair of jeans begins to kill the staff of a trendy clothing store, it is up to Libby (Romane Denis), an idealistic young salesclerk, to stop its bloody rampage. Slaxx is tough to review because it’s certainly not good. However, it is kind of awesome. I mean, it’s about a murderous pair of pants. Going in, like with most of the movies on this list, you’re hoping for, at worst, a so-bad-it’s-good masterpiece. And while masterpiece might be a step too far, I can’t deny that Slaxx is gloriously bad in all the best ways. We’re talking cheesy, over-the-top acting. We’re talking absolutely bonkers death scenes. We’re talking about a cast and crew that are 100% in on the joke. Plus, at only 77 minutes, it’s a fairly breezy watch. It has “future cult classic” written all over it, especially given the timely satire and relatively sharp commentary on corporate responsibility. AFRICAN KUNG-FU NAZIS (2021) Synopsis : A kung fu disciple seeks bloody revenge against Adolf Hitler and his army of goons in Ghana. IMDB lied to me. It identified African Kung-Fu Nazis as a horror action-comedy, but there is no horror here. There are lots of hilariously cartoony blood and gore, but nothing attempting to elicit actual scares. If you were to put Bloodsport , Iron Sky , and the extremely amateur YouTube videos of people doing martial arts in their backyard in a blender, this would be the resulting smoothie. And while I can’t say it’s good or even so-bad-it’s-good, if you can manage to give in to the uber-cheap campiness of it all (it cost $20,000 to make), there are moments of charm to be found. Between the surprisingly great kung-fu choreography, the cast of Africans in whiteface as Nazis, a luchador doing a Macho Man Randy Savage impression, and advertisements for Ghanaian liquor Adonko Bitters being featured prominently in the background, I can’t say I didn’t laugh a few times. But I don’t need to see it again. SLOTHERHOUSE (2023) Synopsis : Emily (Lisa Ambalavanar) wants to be elected as her sorority's president. She adopts a cute sloth, thinking it can become the new mascot and help her win, until a string of fatalities implicates the sloth as the main suspect in the murders. Look, I get that I’m old and curmudgeonly, but Slotherhouse ’s overall Gen Z-ness and CW-style sorority college drama exhausted me almost immediately. It’s a lot of constant cat fighting, mean girls, and “social media is important!” nonsense, all of which plays itself out in the first 15 minutes. Then, a sloth starts using a laptop, Instagram, and taking selfies. I was mentally done quick, fast, and in a hurry. I get that this is a tongue-in-cheek movie about a murderous sloth, but for fuck’s sake is this shit dumb. The acting is crazy bad, the “humor” does not hit at all, and it doesn’t feature any fun kills. It’s just annoying from top to bottom, including a ham-fisted message about why wild animals as pets is a bad idea. All that said, I’m fully aware that it may work better for a younger person (the soundtrack was decent too), but for an old crusty like myself? Nah, dawg.

Previous Next July 12, 2025 After over a decade without a proper film headlining the character and a complete misfire in attempting to launch a cinematic universe, DC Studios, under the new stewardship of James Gunn, is bringing us back to earth with Superman . The first film of the new DCU after the universe launched with Creature Commandos in late 2024. Gunn kicks off with the newest version of the Man of Steel with a stellar cast featuring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, and Skyler Gisondo. The Bigger Bite Crew is joined by Blerds N The Hood host Winston A. Marshall and frequent collaborator Shak Lambert to discuss whether or not they think it’s a worthwhile start for DC Studios' cinematic era of Gods & Monsters.

REACHER: SEASON TWO Starring: Alan Ritchson, Maria Sten, Serinda Swan, Shaun Sipos, Ferdinand Kingsley, Robert Patrick, and Domenick Lombardozzi Creator: Nick Santora QUENTIN You may recall that I named Reacher one of 2022’s best new series (refresh your memory HERE ). After nearly two years, it’s back…and it’s fine, I suppose. It has the same mix of violence and dry humor, but gone is Alan Ritchson’s charisma and the cast chemistry that made Season One such a delight. Ritchson simply plays the role too…stoically? brooding?...this time around, and it really sucks the air out of the balloon. Plus, the central investigation isn’t as interesting, and while the flashbacks may help with character development, they hurt narrative momentum. It’s still enjoyable, in a beach-read kinda way, but it’s a step backwards.

THE BOYS: SEASON FOUR Starring: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Jessie T. Usher, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukahara, Chace Crawford, Claudia Doumit, Nathan Mitchell, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, Colby Minifie, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan Creator: Eric Kripke AMARÚ The first few episodes of The Boys : Season Four lulls you into a sense of normalcy. The episodes move forward with new characters and continuing storylines, but nothing really feels astounding. However, just like the outstandingly nuanced and calculated Sister Sage, played by new series powerhouse Susan Heyward, they are slowly setting pieces on the table to knock you on your ass. Navigating full political commentary without sacrificing any bit of intelligent storytelling, Season Four is the best acted of the series, and it sets up a doozy of a fifth and final season for this modern TV masterpiece. NICK Season Four of The Boys feels like the calm before the storm that will be the final season. That's not to say it's boring, but it's a lot of setup only to scramble everything together in the finale. There are clear highlights (A-Train's (Jessie T. Usher) and Butcher’s (Karl Urban) storylines), but there are other parts that don't quite hit (I struggled to care about Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Annie (Erin Moriarty), and the Gen V connection happens too late). I think creator Eric Kripke is ending things at the right time because I'm starting to see a world where things run out of steam. QUENTIN I think it’s a blessing that The Boys will end with next season. It’s not that Season Four is bad at all; in fact, it’s quite good. It boasts the same violent carnage, dark humor, gory subversiveness, and worthwhile character development that has successfully driven this show to this point. That said, the political satire is getting to be a little too on the nose, and there is some subtle wheel-spinning that feels like light filler at times. All in all, though? Those are minor complaints, and I’m amped for an explosive final go-round that (hopefully) sees the show go out on top. PAIGE For me, The Boys : Season Four is full of highs and lows. On one hand, it lacks story advancement due to unnecessary subplots, which makes the pacing feel a bit off. On the other hand, the superhero series' trademark bloody violence and diabolical what-the-fuck moments are still prominent throughout, keeping it an entertaining watch. However, what really sticks out this season is the commentary on today’s politics and real-world events that ring true in our society. Overall, this season just seemed to be a slow build-up to the insane mayhem that will ensue in the show's final season. ADRIANO The Boys : Season Four is a step down from the beasts of the previous seasons, but it's still an invigorating television season, nonetheless. While some of its shock moments sometimes felt purposeless this time around, and there was maybe too much going on, the show's insanity mixed with its grounded character work and commentary on the current political state is still in full force. The cast is still excellent (Antony Starr is MVP again, but shoutout to Jessie T. Usher), and there were moments when I was genuinely scared, especially with the bleak ending, getting me shaken for what's to come. SHADAN This season of The Boys is the weakest of the four because it’s overstuffed and meandering. I found myself less invested in what is clearly a transitional season before the finale. Still, I had a blast with the shock and awe of it all. The signature style, violence, and gore are plentiful as always, and it kept me engaged enough to anticipate the next surprise. Karl Urban and Antony Starr remain the MVPs of one of the strongest and most underappreciated ensembles on TV, and even when not in top form, you could do much worse than spending time with The Boys. KATIE Although this season of The Boys lacks the momentum and meticulous storytelling of previous seasons, it still manages to showcase bloody, shocking, morbidly funny, carnage-fueled entertainment. Despite its flaws, this season is the tensest yet, with moments that had me fearing for my favourite characters and terrified for what would happen next, which is only exacerbated by the timely political commentary. Plus, the entire cast is incredible, in particular Antony Starr’s phenomenally unnerving performance as Homelander. With this solid setup, I’m looking forward to all this character development and attention to subplots paying off next season.

SAUSAGE PARTY: FOODTOPIA: SEASON TWO Starring: Seth Rogen, Will Forte, Edward Norton, Michael Cera, Jillian Bell, Andre Braugher, Marion Cotillard, Patti Harrison, Ruth Negga, Sam Richardson, Martin Starr, and David Krumholtz Creators: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter, and Ariel Shaffir QUENTIN In its second season, Foodtopia interestingly (thankfully?) dials back the over-the-top raunch and leans into the food puns. It also shifts from the hyper-focused satire on religion and politics to deliver a broader message about morality and co-existence, all while effectively expanding the dystopian food-driven world, character development, and serialized storytelling. Admittedly, not all the jokes land (a Will Smith-slap joke in 2025?), but the sheer volume of clever one-liners and deep movie references scattered throughout the eight breezy episodes make the duds forgivable. Foodtopia has become more than just a diversion, and if it keeps featuring puns like Francis Ford Capicola, I’ll keep coming back. Check out our reviews for Season One HERE .

DARK SIDE OF THE RING: SEASON SIX Starring: Chris Jericho Creators: Evan Husney and Jason Eisener NICK After last season of Dark Side of the Ring took a bit of a dip, this one comes back with a vengeance. From watching the effects the infamous Hell in a Cell match had on Mick Foley and his family to the heartbreaking life story of Daffney, from the utter insanity of Billy Jack Haynes to the despicable tale of Ludwig Borga…this season covers all sides of darkness. As per usual, the interview subjects are terrific and the research is incredibly detailed. It seems last season was an outlier because there are clearly more stories to tell, so let’s bring on another round. Check out our reviews for Season Five HERE .

THE WALKING DEAD: DARYL DIXON: SEASON TWO Starring: Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, Romain Levi, Clémence Poésy, Eriq Ebouaney, Joel de la Fuente, Laïka Blanc-Francard, Anne Charrier, and Manish Dayal Creator: David Zabel NICK After a surprising premiere season, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon takes a step back with Season Two, The Book of Carol . Although the reunion of Daryl and Carol (Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, respectively) is a welcome one, the story to get to that point (and beyond) is Fear the Walking Dead levels of ridiculous. Instead of integrating Carol into the existing story, much of what made Season One work so well is abandoned to create a watered down version of The Walking Dead - exactly what I was worried these spin-offs could become. Let’s hope this was a sophomore slump and Season Three can rise from the dead.

Previous Next With this month boasting Dune: Part Two, which is one of the biggest sci-fi films in some time, we figured what better time to go over some of our other sci-fi favourites? So, the Bitesize crew has once again put their brains together to compile Bitesize Breakdown's consensus Top Five Sci-Fi Adaptations. For this list, we are only focusing on films or series adapted from novels, comics, video games, etc. Not remakes from earlier versions of the film. Each writer ranks his or her top 15 releases in the category. Those lists are then weighted on a reverse point system. After all the points are tallied up, the entries with the most total points make up the Bitesize Top Five. 5. THE THING (1982) The Thing (1982) isn’t just an amazing sci-fi adaptation, it’s one of the greatest films ever made. Director John Carpenter has had plenty of hits, but his take on John W. Campbell Jr.’s (pen name Don A. Stuart) novella “Who Goes There?” is my personal favourite. This chilling cosmic horror is a masterclass in suspense, blending a meticulously paced narrative with some of the most impressive practical effects of all time. As an incomprehensible amalgamation of human bodies, raw flesh, and otherworldly tendrils, the titular “Thing” possibly is the most horrific alien ever put to screen. Its iconic ability to mimic human beings results in a nail-biter of a film where you can never be too sure of who to trust. With an amazing script, jaw-dropping visuals, and an awesome performance from Kurt Russell, The Thing certainly deserves its spot on our list. - Caleb 4. CHILDREN OF MEN Children of Men is the kind of sci-fi thriller that one yearns for. Before he was ever an Oscar winner, director Alfonso Cuarón crafted this film with such an incredible nuance that it seeps into every frame of this, at times, painful-to-watch dystopian flick. Its action is quite incredible, thankfully, but where Children of Men shines is in its admittedly dense but truly breathtaking storytelling, whose grim nature makes way for something poignant. The final 30 or so minutes of this film are more than enough to earn a slot on this list, but the entire film is a remarkable accomplishment in its own right. - Adriano 3. 2001: A SPACE ODDESSY This list wouldn’t be complete without Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey . Adapted from the 1948 short story "The Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clark, this 1968 film and its corresponding novel counterpart were written concurrently. The film’s astonishing screenplay, written by Kubrick and Clark, and its breathtaking visuals make this epic truly one of a kind and, honestly, probably the greatest sci-fi film to ever grace the silver screen, especially considering it continues to influence countless sci-fi stories to this day. The fact that this masterpiece manages to address several extremely thought-provoking subjects, including existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence (I'm talking about you, HAL), and the potential for extraterrestrial life, is truly mind blowing. - Paige 2. ARRIVAL Based on Ted Chiang's novella “Story of Your Life,” Denis Villeneuve's Academy Award-winning sci-fi drama Arrival is both my favourite film of his and one of my top sci-fi films of all time. It's thoughtful and restrained, with a poetic narrative and an emotional, character-driven story. Although it has plenty of spaceships, aliens, and angry American soldiers, it uses these elements to explore powerful themes of grief, memory, and language, as well as examining the enduring nature of love and human bonds. It also doesn’t over- or under-emphasise its complicated linguistic concepts, keeping them accessible and making them genuinely interesting, which could only be achieved with Amy Adams’ incredible and deeply affecting performance. Plus, with exceptional visuals and a stunning score, Arrival has it all. - Katie 1. JURASSIC PARK Whether you consider it sci-fi, horror, thriller, or action-adventure, Jurassic Park remains one of the greatest movies of all time, full stop. In becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time upon release, as well as its universal acclaim, its blockbuster bonafides are beyond reproach. However, it’s the groundbreaking special effects that still hold up today that, in 2005, led Film Review magazine to name it one of the five most important movies since 1950. With a tremendous ensemble cast, a terrific story, pulse-pounding thrills, and iconic imagery galore, Jurassic Park , adapted from Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name, remains the pinnacle for all adaptations, sci-fi or otherwise. Its legacy has endured for more than 30 years despite five (and counting) mostly-not-great-but-often-terrible sequels. - Quentin HONORABLE MENTIONS THE MARTIAN DUNE (2021) DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES TOTAL RECALL (1990) MINORITY REPORT Photo Credits: Photo 1, 2, 5 - Universal Pictures; Photo 3 - MGM Studios; Photo 4 - Paramount Pictures

SPIDER-NOIR Starring: Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Brendan Gleeson, Karen Rodriguez, Jack Huston, Abraham Popoola, Lukas Haas, Cary Christopher, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, and Michael Kostroff Creator: Oren Uziel AMARÚ Both the black and white and true color versions of Spider-Noir are absolutely gorgeous, but just like Nicolas Cage and noir, black and white just feels right. The season takes some time to set up its characters and story, but it’s worth it to get invested in the crime mystery that perfectly blends Spider-Man lore with the 1930s backdrop. There’s tons of heart, humor, and high-stakes action, all backed by a top-tier ensemble. Cage, of course, shines in the role, but every cast member matches his star-power, especially show stealer Andrew Lewis Caldwell. The Spider-Verse universe is still undefeated. QUENTIN A bold swing for superhero shows, Spider-Noir almost isn’t a superhero show at all. Sure, the main tropes are there, but they mostly take a backseat to the gorgeously shot, hardboiled detective story that conjures memories of James Cagney and Alfred Hitchcock. Nic Cage once again validates my unwavering support for his inspired acting choices by delivering a performance that is equally funny and tragic, capturing Spidey’s famously wisecracking vibe through era-appropriate colloquialisms and moments of noir-driven self-reflection. Admittedly, the story drags slightly in the middle, but you’ll be so intoxicated by the atmosphere that you’ll barely notice, especially with the superior black and white version. NICK Adapting the story of Spider-Man into a jaded private investigator from the 1930s is a "swing" I never knew I needed until Spider-Noir . It even goes so far as to offer up the choice between vibrant colour and black and white - although the story is better suited for the latter. You also have Nicolas Cage playing the aforementioned P.I., and he's tremendous. As Ben Reilly, he has the opportunity to act in his sweet spot. He's funny, sarcastic, manic, and a little weird. The series can be a touch too slow-moving (a by-product of the genre), but the cast keeps things entertaining throughout. ROBERT Spider-Man is a property that always garners interest, even when it skews bad or seems oversaturated. In 2026, our first of four adaptations is Spider-Noir , which brings Nic Cage to the small-screen for the first time. Truthfully, this is the only logical aesthetic for Cage to play in, especially as a student and lover of old films. The show itself has small stakes but big ideas, and those concepts don’t always mesh properly. Vibes are heavy for this, perpetuated by the cast and the look, not the messy, overlapping story beats. No egg creams or Nazis for Spider-Noir , but plenty of dames, drama, and distress. Want to hear even more of our thoughts? Nick and Harrison join Amarú to take A Bigger Bite out of Spider-Noir HERE .

PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF Starring: Paul Reubens Creator: Matt Wolf QUENTIN Though long-winded at nearly four hours, it’s hard to be mad at this definitive look at such an enigmatic comedy legend and his alter ego. Pee-wee as Himself explores the life and career of not only Paul Reubens, but also the 1980s cultural phenomenon that was “Pee-wee Mania.” Admittedly, I grew up watching Pee-wee Herman while knowing nothing of Reubens (except, well, you know…), so I was probably more open to what this series had to say. That said, subjects this guarded and complicated always make for an interesting focus, and the fact that this docu-series is honest, heartbreaking, and touching only adds to the nostalgia.

THE BOROUGHS: SEASON ONE Starring: Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, Carlos Miranda, Jena Malone, Jane Kaczmarek, and Bill Pullman Creators: Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews PAIGE Although The Boroughs is a well paced and engaging series that delivers strong Amblin supernatural vibes, it is quite predictable and the dialogue can feel a bit corny at times. That said, its veteran cast truly elevates the show and is the main reason to check it out. Each actor brings something refreshing to their character, which makes you care and root for them. While it definitely feels like Stranger Things with elders in a retirement community, it won't be Netflix's next phenomenon. Still, it's an easy and enjoyable watch if you're into the genre.

ADULTS: SEASON ONE Starring: Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele Creators: Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw QUENTIN It’s possible that Gen Z will really take to Adults , possibly finding it incredibly relatable. However, for this 44-year-old, it’s essentially two hours of watching annoying, almost cartoonishly diverse characters (Lucy Freyer’s Billie is the only one that presents like a real person) stumble through life in unfunny ways. Like, what is funny about twentysomethings not knowing how to call customer service (“you can do that?”) or pay a bill (“what’s a check?”)? That said, I can appreciate that Gen Z might not think jokes from my generation’s hangout shows are funny either, so to each their own. Great guest appearance from Daredevil ’s Charlie Cox, though.
