The Midnight Gospel

Since I discovered T.M.G. and Duncan Trussel, I stumpled towards many great, interesting and awesome conversations (mostly with his Podcast - Duncan Trussel Family Hour), and discovered many great people and teachers ( just a few: Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Ram Dass, David Nichtern,...). Check out DUNCAN TRUSSEL FAMILY HOUR...can't recommend it to much! Even the commercials are hillarious!!!

I'm truly thankeful for this show! LOVE the work that Pendelton Ward did, too! Amazing Show!!!

If The Midnight Gospel was an acid trip, then Duncan Trussell and Pendleton Ward are your spirit guides. This show is about sharing the personal lessons you learn alone in the dark. Adult themes are amplified here; gore, violence, drugs, and nudity are all amped to the nth degree. Beneath the fever dream is a prayer to human connection. For The Midnight Gospel, there is no such thing as small talk. Trussell's warm ability to connect with his guests on their most personal levels disarms you. Pendleton Ward's ability to weave a universe out of what is essentially a series of podcasts is masterful. The two, in harmony, balance each other perfectly. Here, Ward and Trussell succeed so often and in so many ways it's hard to unpack everything without wanting to sit back in for a second viewing.

Was very uncomfortable in a couple of scenes even for animation (maybe that's just because I'm a wimp) sometimes it felt over the top and unnecessary but just adds to the charmingly bizarre vibe of this show. Great animation, not mind-blowing but the colors really pop. Beyond the look of the show there are deep messages told throughout conversations that are being officiated while horrific events are occurring. Overall solid watch. Not a must see but if you watch it you'll most likely enjoy yourself.

Do you enjoy podcast like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and Joe Diaz but are not able to sit through them wether due to its length and or lack of visual stimulation? Well this is an amazing middle ground. This show has some excellent conversations with very interesting people and some great animation to go along with it. The way they handle the conversations and the events happening around the characters are amusing to say the least. I highly recommend checking it out. Edit: When I made the review I just finished the fourth episode. After finishing the series I realized that this is something special and I really mean what I say. This is something that's going to stay with me for a while. The last episode had me tearing up it's absolutely incredible.

It's basically an animated podcast. There's not really any plot just some guy interviewing people about....things but the animation is not related to the thing they're talking about at all. It's certainly unique and weird and...good? I...don't know. I mean I don't hate it but I'm just simply not interested about the topics and the conversations around those topics. They talked about life and death and god and spiritual things. Some people might considered their conversations deep and profound but I really don't. Maybe because I feel like I've listened to podcasts or interviews around these topics that's pretty much the same or even better. They just don't have the means to put it in animation. You really have to watch it yourself. I don't think there's definite good or bad about it. It's a conversation, you listen to it and you think about it and that's it.
