What A Cartoon! - Disenchantment "The Princess of Darkness"
Added 2018-08-20 05:00:01 +0000 UTCIn one of our freshest podcasts ever, Bob and Henry dig into the third episode of Matt Groening's brand new Netflix series, Disenchantment! We go in-depth into the show's third episode, seeing how Lucy will save Bean, how Elfo properly makes daisy chains, how good Bean is at drunk driving, and we explore all three of the sciences, even smoke! Listen along and learn about how the series came to be and how much we're enjoying this new series from many of the folks who worked on Futurama and The Simpsons!
Comments
It was mentioned that Nat Faxon (voice of Elfo) is mostly a writer, but one place you might recognize him from as an actor is in the movie BEERFEST, he is one of the opposing Germans namely the other less muscular one that isn’t Will Forte. He’s also been in the other two non Supertroopers Broken Lizard movies (Club Dread, and The Slammin’ Salmon)

2018-08-29 22:25:01 +0000 UTCI binged through this whole show right when it was available, but decided to take 10 days to digest my opinions before I'd regurgitate them on to the internet. It's garbage. The joke with Bean in every episode is that she's constantly drunk, but they oscillate between "she's just a 19 year old who likes to party" and "she's an addict who needs some help". If it's the first one, cool, we all got to get our wild years out, but if it's the second, then it's just mean spirited. As Mitch Hedberg said, alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for having. The worst is the episode where she cleans up and takes her duties seriously only to have her drink spiked by Luci. She then ruins everything and is yelled at for the rest of the episode and the first part is treated as comedy and the second part is treated as drama. She was drugged against her will and without her knowledge! That's not funny! You're not allowed to hate on somebody who has that done to them. I would be a lot happier if the punchline of so many jokes wasn't drunk lady gets drunk. Finally, Elfo sucks and looks too much like Bart Simpson and his nice guy gets the reluctant girl storyline made my skin crawl. This show just sucks.
