Everybody's Live with John Mulaney

I absolutely love the vibe of this show, and the previous 'Everybody's In L. A'. It doesn't seem like they missed a step, being off for so long while coming back with a great set of guests to speak on the subject of lending / borrowing money. Mulaney shows that he has a very quick comedic mind in the way he handles the callers to the show. I think my favorite thing about this show continues to be the chemistry between John Mulaney and Richard Kind who is absolutely hilarious on this show. I've never been able to figure out how much of his personality is real but it doesn't matter because he's so oddly charismatic.

I hope this show has many more seasons because I really can't get enough.

John knows how to make everything wonderful. And this show is no less, with Richard Kind by his side they are thriving. Great bits and heavy on the great guests! I mean he pulled out the big guns with these guests.

What I'm gonna say may sound controversial but for show that is live around the world it is a little too "American" I mean the episode about the real ID and Uber, I didn't even know what Real ID was. I'm from the middle east and some episodes were just boring for me because I'm not American.

There's nothing wrong with that just heads up if you're not American.

I recommend though it's very funny and John wears nice suits as always.

Another massive Mulaney fan here. He is a top-tier, brilliant stand-up comedian, perfectly suited for SNL-both as a writer and performer. He's also a decent voice actor and an excellent talk show guest. I have a few theories (more like psychological observations) on why he excels in these areas but struggles as a talk show host or with his own sketch comedy show. However, what matters most is his mental well-being, which I believe is closely tied to the feedback he receives. There's nothing wrong with experimenting, trying new things, and striving to be great at all of them-but I never want to see him return to his old lifestyle out of desperation or a sense of failure, especially when he's already one of the best at what he does best.

This show is truly unique. Mulaney is able to create an interpersonal dynamic with 5 people that can go any direction. It's organized chaos. The random pre-planned bits sprinkled throughout along with the prerecorded spots give the show a Monty python feel. I've also enjoyed the roster of musical guests. To match the eclectic vibe of the show, the musical acts come from different eras and genres and the performances are solid and well choreographed. Another cool element is the inclusion of callers as the show is broadcast live on Netflix. These calls are an absolute wild card, with people in various states of sobriety voicing their experiences relative to the show's subject for the episode. As a fan of exploratory musical acts like Phish, this show hits home for me.

Wild and experimental, brings me back to the early days of Ben Stiller on MTV or The Tom Green show. While it's not perfect, it's playful and experimental and walks a fine line between being stupid (Tim n Eric Anti-Humor style) and bringing seriousness.

It's a very specific type of show or vibe but I absolutely love it and it's actually relaxing to watch.

There's this Japanese show on Netflix about people visiting a tiny ramen restaurant at night, I don't recall the exact name and it's kind of vintage. But this show and John Mulaney his vibe are very similar, it's soothing, it's smart, it's dumb, it's playful, it's pretty (cinematography of the in between scenes is crazy good) and the soundtrack is just perfect.

More of this Netflix, more!
