12.10.23 | anyone seen it? |
ArsMoriendi
12.10.23 | A few episodes, it's fun
Not sure why I haven't checked more.
Nathan Fielder vibes, but subtler |
Ryus
12.10.23 | its fun but also introspective and truly moving at times. def more affecting to me than "nathan for you" which is still quite enjoyable but in a different sort of way |
Trebor.
12.10.23 | Best show ever probably |
Ryus
12.10.23 | ill say its a little bit repetitive at times and its pretty obvious how john gets a lot of his material sometimes once he's gone to like his 5th weirdo conference so it loses a bit of its magic at that point. still, the writing and narratives they create are amazing |

12.10.23 | not clicking on that |
Butkuiss
12.10.23 | Show makes me irrationally uncomfortable, and not in a fun way like Fielder |
Ryus
12.10.23 | thats interesting, nathan for you makes me way more uncomfortable. john is more of an passive observer instead of an active instigator of chaos and mayhem |
Drifter
12.11.23 | been getting into 7 recently. great great album |

12.11.23 | Weird coincidence, just went to a live screening/q&a for a few episodes the other night. Watched a bunch of it during lockdown, it’s good stuff |

12.11.23 | big fan of the show. concur that the manufactured nature of the plot flow / inevitable set piece climaxes lessen the magic a little. That said John’s sympathy for his subjects helps humanize them and is the reason his work is more than just voyeurism masked as a silly story |
GreyShadow
12.11.23 | can't believe it's over. such an out there show (as everything nathan fielder is) but it's legitimately brilliant. i think about that avatar convention all the time |
Ryus
12.11.23 | im sad its over but im glad it ended when it did on his own terms |
botb
12.11.23 | Amazing show, the how to enjoy wine episode is the goat |
Azazzel
12.11.23 | is season 2 worth it? who knew you could make scaffolding so compelling and that circumcision dude is unforgettable holy moly |
Ryus
12.11.23 | very much so, all seasons are great |
DocSportello
12.11.23 | first episode where he's moored at mtv spring break is a classic |
Ryus
12.11.23 | haha yeah the moment when he comes upon the hordes of people at the resort is when i really started getting into it |
DocSportello
12.11.23 | and then he chats real life shit with bro on the beach ugh yeah, shit sat with me more powerfully than most films |
denboy
12.11.23 | Literally watched the first season 10 times |
denboy
12.11.23 | I've introduced it to friends by putting on How to Put Up Scaffolding, and inevitably they'll want to watch the entire season
|
Ryus
12.11.23 | haha hell yeah. glad to see there are so many fans here |
