Only Murders in the Building: Hello, Darkness (2022)
This whole episode needed to be rewritten.
I don't know how this made it on the screen, it is by far the worst written show of the franchise. I would say it was campy, but it takes itself too seriously for that. So it was just full of so many holes and events that were so unpolished it was laughable, it's degraded every episode this season. Martin Short is still the saving grace of a very poorly developed series of scripts.
Watch It (1993)
This movie defined my twenties
One of the greatest relationship/player films that no one has ever seen! A college friend of mine turned me on to this unknown gem about 25 years ago, and it became the instant cult hit with my friendship group. I have probably seen this movie about 25 times (every new friend had to watch it, and then QUOTE Rick Miller's Theory of Women, before being fully accepted into the group). I have this film memorized now, but to find it anywhere (besides VHS) is a futile quest.
While living in Nashville, I met a woman who actually worked on the set! She said that much of the film was written hours before filming, and it has that sense of loose improv but still some of the best comic writing in a long time. The chemistry between characters is impeccable, and the conversational style matched my friendship base perfectly, so we were all hooked. We even started doing Watch It practical jokes as a group.
If you are a fan of movies like Swingers or Skin Deep, this is perfect to add to the lexicon. And like Vince Vaughn, it probably was a boost from a casting perspective for Sizemore, Gallagher, and Mcginley.
