you just know he’d somehow turn timothee chalomet into the purest thirteen syllables you’d ever heard

like a fucked-up sound bath that instantly heals everything that’s wrong with you

@beep The closing track in One Battle After Another hit so perfectly it killed me in the best way possible

@cory Ach I haven’t seen it yet! Need to fix that, maybe this weekend

@beep It absolutely deserves all the praise it's been getting

@lloydi @cory IAN I KNOW

@beep @lloydi This is the part where I get in trouble for not knowing who Matt Berry is
Show threadSara Joy 
@cory @beep @lloydi my brain is telling me it's the boss from IT Crowd. Is it?

He's another one of those British actors that I'm confused has crossed over into the US limelight. In that list is also Hugh Laurie and Ian McShane

@sarajw @beep @lloydi That's what Wikipedia is telling me. For as much as I use those gifs in Slack I have no excuse for not having watched it.
Show threadSara Joy Mar 13
@cory @beep @lloydi even though one of the writers is an absolute shit head and there's the odd uncomfortable joke in there - they are very good.
Show threadCory Dransfeldt Mar 13
@sarajw @beep @lloydi The last British comedy I watched was Father Ted (which likely hasn't aged well), so I’m probably due for another. I've heard plenty of good things about What We Do in the Shadows too.
Show threadlloydiMar 13
@beep @cory @sarajw Yes! And it’s all true. Also the original movie that came before the TV show. Soooooo good
Show threadCory Dransfeldt Mar 13
@lloydi @beep @sarajw I'll have to queue them both up after I finish my 90s X-Men cartoon rewatch. 🤓
Show threadSara Joy Mar 13

@cory @beep @lloydi Father Ted can get away with it - but the arsehole writer is the same one as wrote the IT Crowd! I am mad that this guy who was so funny has become so poisonous. Anyway. If you liked Father Ted you'll enjoy IT Crowd. Also Black Books probably.

Yes I heard good things about Shadows too but never watched any!

Show threadCory Dransfeldt Mar 13
@sarajw @beep @lloydi Awesome! I haven’t heard of Black Books, but I’ll take a look. My best friend in high school and I had Father Ted on quite a bit, so it’s been a good twenty plus years.
Show threadSara Joy Mar 13
@cory @beep @lloydi Black Books also features two of my favourite comedians - Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey.
Show threadKatie FennMar 13
@sarajw @cory @beep @lloydi Seconding Black Books. It’s definitely up there with Father Ted.
