Party Monster: Scratching the Surface

This episode is presented as a documentary that focuses on what happened with DJ Slizzard, whom we know as Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, the man who kept Kimmy and the Mole Girls kept in an underground bunker. Granted, it feels bad to have an episode without Kimmy, Titus, and the gang but the episode does expand and adds more depth to the events of previous seasons while also setting up new events that will later be explained. But overall, it's still fun, if you give it a chance, and the show runners present it as an actual documentary, adding a unique style. John Hamm was once again fantastic as The Reverend, adding a more realistic touch to his performance.

This is a hilarious spoof that adds so much to what's going on in the primary KIMMY SCHMIDT story... especially the use of actual archival footage of Jon Hamm on a 1996 dating show!!!

If you like those crime documentaries like Making a Murder and the podcast Serial, this episode will be so much better for you (and it's already a strong episode to begin with). It's plays on all the characteristics of that genre, and you also get so fun moments like archival footage of Hamm himself! It's an abnormally formatted episode, but I think it works really well!

I had no expectations for this episode, but it ended up being the funniest one they ever did. It seems to have hurt a few feelings, though. Lots of monocles popped and neckbeards rustled.

I thought it was a nice episode to switch up the usual vibe of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitd. I found it very entertaining because I think they did a great job making it feel like an actual documentary, or, a parody of one. The calls in the middle of the night, the looking at the cameramen, the narration. I wish they experimented a bit more with the episodes.
