A place to talk about movies, TV and videos on Farcaster.

The best work of metamodern tv to date is probably Kevin Can F**k Himself starring Annie Murphy (Alexis from Schitt’s Creek). But I couldn’t watch past the first season. This suggests to me that it’s a fundamentally limited artistic movement. The problem is that metaness even at its best is fundamentally at odds with ludicrous immersion.
 
Nathan Fielder, EEAAO,  Taika Waititi etc are all overrated self-indulgence as a service imo. Rick and Morty almost hit the right balance between meta and ludicrous before overreaching.

The Deadpool movies are borderline.

Curious if you gave Our Flag Means Death a try? Something reigned Taiki’s worst impulses in and the zany mostly worked I thought
