Thanks for this. Woke up early and was reading the news while listening to dissonant art music (because Birdsongs of the Mesozoic is perfect background music for reading about COVID) and didn't realize how much I needed a laugh until I read this.
I don't know why you Catholics think you have the edge on the guilt franchise. I'd say the good old Presbyterian total evil and Hell Bound guilt is in all ways more .............. except now I feel guilty that I'm claiming my guilt is more than your's.
It's an amazing show. I watched the first two seasons last year & now I'll catch up with the rest. I love that Nick's house is haunting by the ghost of Duke Ellington: "I slept with white women when really meant something!"
It's a glorious show -- autoeroticism is a funhouse mirror in a ritual space, a Night at Bald Mountain of weird delights & unspeakable needs
Once again I’m decades behind pop TV culture. You’re watching Big Mouth, I’m on Hulu streaming Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Killer, two more shows I missed during my “I’ve got better things to do than watch TV” period. Shows where teen hormones are symbolized by crime and monsters to be defeated.
The stars being attractive 20-somethings playing teenagers has nothing to do with it.
Hamlet, yes. Country matters often come up and there's a fair amount of adolescence in the wit and drama there, and Romeo & Juliet. I am confident Shakespeare could've proved most awkwardly and, had he been put on, showed us our own adolescent angst royally.
Vomiting feathers? Laughed till I cried. Back in the day going through this we were listening to a BBC production of the Odyssey. The phrase "rosy fingered dawn" still makes me queasy.
The hormone monster... yes, mine was something else. Now I not only have to find time to watch Citizen Kane but this show as well. You're like an art teacher giving assignments now! LOL

“has the feeling of authentic adolescent anxiety”
....um....
PASS

If liking a show with a talking vagina is wrong I don't wanna be right.

Big Mouth, of which I was sort of aware, seems too deep and profound for me. I get my classy filth via Letterkenny. Witty and profane: Best combo.
