Craig Ferguson was the best, every time he called House of Lies House of Pies it killed me

 

The leftovers Season 1 > season 2

 

Desus & Mero

#1 on late night

 

Lucky Louie was a really good show.

 

Conan has always been my favorite through the years

 

Cordon is just so unsatisfying espesh when we had Ferguson before. Craig was fantastic. His serious monologues were amazing. He has such a special way of interviewing that makes all his guests come off pleasant and interesting, even if I dgaf about them before. It's like he actually listened to them speak and did his research instead of Falloning all over them. I love Graham too.

 

Ferguson’s “ripping of the cards” bit before every interview is so great. I feel like him and Graham Norton have actual conversations akin to something you might hear on a podcast, rather than these meticulously planned interviews you see on most these shows. I mean, I get it, you wanna have a plan, but I like how natural those two are.

Kimmel has been pretty underrated over the years in my opinion. This recent interview with Gosling is really good. It basically turns into Ryan interviewing Kimmel, which was a nice change of pace

 

Not defending Ridley's recent slate, but at the very least, gotta throw Black Hawk Down, The Martian and Thelma and Louise into his good movies.

 

Fallon is not very good but he's a better person than Letterman

 

Lol, I literally had zero idea that he directed Black Hawk Down, I don’t know why that’s so surprising to me. Now I want to rewatch that, it’s been over ten years since I’ve seen it for sure.

 

Black Hawk Down is like listening to the loudest part of a rock song on repeat. You need a nap when it is done.

 

tbh I never watched much Letterman but I was a lil hmmm on his shtick of inviting on female celebs and being condescending towards them. idk like granted I didn't watch his show consistently but I'd see ppl post clips once in a while and the humor was usually lollll watch him talk down to this vapid woman. Which is why I loved Craig because he really elevated all of his guests and brought out the best in them.

 

I'm sorry we gave you Corden. He was unbearable for years over here in the UK, I can only imagine how bad he is now that his already over inflated ego has been boosted by his success in the US. On the plus side at least he's not all over tv here anymore.

 

Yep.

 

I like Matchstick Men too.

 

I don’t think this is unpopular now, but why was Garden State considered great upon release? It’s not even good.

 

Just hearing the name causes bad memories. I don't think I have ever actually seen the film from start to finish, but we made a lot of mistakes in the early 2000's.

 

But why was it so acclaimed? It’s terrible haha

 

I wouldn’t call it acclaimed but my age group loved it I think because lots of people related to Zach Scrubs’ disillusionment and men fell in love with the manic pixie dream girl before it had a name. Plus the soundtrack was indie-licious.

 

A lot of people of a certain age found a lot of meaning in the movie, but when you view it as an adult, or as the same age as the actual characters are supposed to be in the film, it is embarrassing. It is also one of many films and television shows that suggests that people are overmedicated, which isn't the best message to send out to people that need their medication to function and is irresponsible.

 

I think it was the first before every movie started being Garden State, I was also 14 and loved Scrubs at the time,now I think of it as a soundtrack that they happened to write a movie around

 

Scrubs is still pretty good in its earlier seasons. Zach Braff just went too far. For all of Garden State's problems, if you have a strong willpower try to sit through his second film, Wish I Was Here.

 

I still can't believe he kickstarted a movie about how sad being a struggling actor is

 

He lets his wife work full time while he tries to find himself, and when the father can't pay for their private school he refuses to let his kids to go to public school because of the horrors (which is such a privileged position to take) and instead jeopardizes their learning by home schooling them. His character is the villain but he is treated as the protagonist.

 

I can still watch Garden State. It's like ambien on a DVD. Wish was one of the worst films I've seen
