The HBO series Street 5 It’s a science fiction story about a shipwrecked ship on its way to Saturn. Comedy writer Tom Gerencer marveled at the show’s witty dialogue.
“There were very funny lines Street 5 I couldn’t help laughing out loud,” says Gerenser in episode 463 The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy Podcast. “My hat’s off to the great comic minds behind the script.”
Street 5 Armando Iannucci is the creator Veep. Fantasy author Erin Lindsey had fun. Street 5The zany absurdism, but chooses the joke Veep, which works at different levels. “For me, it doesn’t matter if I like the flavor, I want more than one flavor, and I felt like the jokes almost all tasted the same,” she says.
The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy Host David Barr Kirtley agrees. Street 5 It would benefit from a different approach. “I think there’s a character that’s familiar and honest and that we can identify with,” he says. “So that there is a difference between absurdity and absurdity. I feel like everything in it is pointless—all the characters are pointless, all the scenes are pointless, and the entire deck is pointless.
But science fiction editor John Joseph Adams loves it. Street 5It’s a hilarious joke, and we can’t wait to see where the show goes from here.
“The office And Parks and Rec “They both ended up being two of my favorite comedies, but the first seasons weren’t great,” he said. “I think it’s the first season Street 5 It is better than both. So if Street 5 Any progress from season 1 to season 2 is similar to what either show did – they’re led by the same talented teams, so it’s reasonable to expect them to make improvements like this – I think it could be amazing.

Erin Lindsey on Accents:
“I have a thing for accents. I notice them a lot, I do accents, I’m just in them. One of the things that always amazes me about Hugh Laurie is that he’s in his jillion seasons, no matter what. at homeYou never asked if he was American. His American accent is amazing. And these first two episodes, you’ve got him running around playing Captain America, and my first question is, ‘Why?’ My second question is, ‘Why is this so bad? Is he out of touch?’ So he sold it completely. Britain did a great job of creating an almost-but-not-perfect American accent. And that’s actually what’s happening. my favorite. I absolutely loved that.
David Barr Kirtley on the plot:
“I feel like they should have a story in season two, and in season 1 there really isn’t one. Go and look at the episode synopses, and I’ve never seen such a short episode. Synopses.’ I feel like there’s some kind of mystery on board, which makes you wonder what’s going to happen next. The current structure really reminds me Gilligan’s IslandIn each episode there is the hope that they will return earlier than they thought, and something goes wrong, and they will be longer than they thought, and so they will return again and again. He said.
Tom Gerencer on cruise ships:
“I was playing a video game, and I loved it, and there’s this little boy next to me, and he’s wearing a video game, and these two kids are running around the playground chasing each other, and one of them hits the little boy. Elbow him in his suit, and barely touch him. … The father of the boy in the suit bent down and grabbed one of the running children and said, ‘My son is a good boy! He plays the violin in concerts all over the world, and if you hurt his arm I’ll sue your parents until there’s nothing left!’ He yelled this in the face of this 8 year old. That was an eye-opening moment for me. ‘Who am I on this boat with?’ I said.”
Tom Gerenser b Star ship Titanic Novel:
“I started Googling, and I found a copy in an obscure online bookstore that said it was by Robert Sheckley, and like an idiot I emailed the guy who owned the bookstore and said, ‘Hey, if that’s true, that’s a rare book. Can I buy it?’ He disappeared from the site that day, and the guy never returned any of my emails after that. And I was like, ‘Hey, I’ve been checking back on this,’ and he never got back to me. … It was funny to me because the Titanic It was something they said was uncool, and it sank, and then Douglas Adams made this play about it that was said to be cool—because he’s Douglas Adams—and then it disappeared, and the two books disappeared.
