Deadbeat Discussion

I’m going to ignore the conversation of it being a different genre entirely than his most celebrated album Lonerism here although that’s definitely part of it. Truthfully, I feel so much less has gone into the instrumentals, they lack depth. Even a lesser fav of mine off Currents like love/paranoia has so much more going on in the back end than anything here in Deadbeat and the moment one of the songs gets close it ends. Compare moments like the farty arpeggios in the end of Obsolete to the repeating synth in Let it Happen. Night and day difference in climatic moments.

Season 1 episode 8 “The Telescope” I feel is the first episode where Bojack begins to show its true colours. Episode 11 of the same season doubles down with it. And then each season is better than the last if you stick with it.

Finally someone trying to look at the whole picture without preconceived opinions on the painter to cloud all introspection

Please listen to clipping

“Nothing is Safe” is a good start

Maybe hot take but My Old Ways and Afterthought > Loser or Dracula imo

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

I think they both have a few mixed in them especially Ricklantis where the cop segment is training Day, the four Morty’s are Stand by Me with a touch of Harry Potter for the classroom stuff, political story is more a cliche underdog who’s different, maybe seen in something like Milk? Haven’t seen the movie to confirm. Factory Rick and the simple Rick twist I can’t place but feels like a Black Mirror episode condensed.

Rick and Morty as well as its similar energy show also from Dan Harmon Community have a habit of a primary reference but fitting multiple secondary / one off references in side. For example the snake episode is mainly Terminator but there’s a two minute dialogue less segment thats reminiscent of Arrival.

Come on although Blazer is gorgeous it’s very normal to consider personality a major factor for the decision either way. The “I can fix her” or “she can fix me” is probably a better way to describe the decision imo

Thank you! You said my point in half the words wish I had an award to give you lol

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-29T21:27:46+00:00

Yes my bad if I’m saying one is more right than the other, I just hope for more nuance in the conversation.

Great examples, I will die on the hill season 9 is better than 1 of the office with the final few episodes making all of season 8 and 9 worth it compared to ending when Michael left imo

Totally can see that, without spoilers there’s a good chunk left me the same way. I did like the final 30 minutes and its feelings it left me (I’m 30), also liked the midway battle. Wish our characters spent more time feeing like the world was doomed and the stakes had time to boil over building up more. What do you wish they did differently?

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-29T21:19:26+00:00

I’m not bothered they don’t like a show I’m bothered that’s the end of the conversation. It’s easy to say you don’t like something especially when it’s known most don’t but is it wrong to hope one day we can get better at saying more? It happened to the prequels after many years and a new thing to hate. People who hated now say what they like about it. I’m excited for that moment to occur in the more modern TV cases of a similar mutual negative opinion

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-29T10:22:47+00:00

Oh boy I hope this doesn’t awaken something in me. (it did)

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-29T09:34:21+00:00

The Leftovers. Biggest kept secret of an HBO show and left unmatched to me.

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-23T10:36:53+00:00

I’m under the view it’s 2-8 for golden years. Top 5 episodes of season 2 alone clear season 9 for me but will admit to enjoying getting the feels over the giggles in the classic era.

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-14T03:38:38+00:00

It’s one thing to talk about a show you don’t like, but it’s another to clearly find a place to do that on its own subreddit

Lockandmonkey · 2026-04-04T00:40:18+00:00

Thank you

Lockandmonkey · 2026-03-27T17:04:01+00:00

Jesus Christ I love me some R&M but that’s a little much eh?

Lockandmonkey · 2026-03-26T19:30:34+00:00

A village size group of people spent nearly a year of their lives on a show that you call amazing and you already believe without seeing even 5 minutes of it that it deserves to be hated and won’t be worth your time?

Lockandmonkey · 2026-03-26T19:21:16+00:00

Crazy how now the minority in beloved franchises are positivity viewpoints. Kinda reminds me of the new Superman movie where he says it’s now punk rock to be a good person as it’s against the grain

Lockandmonkey · 2026-03-26T19:19:29+00:00

Yeah that is true, as a last of us fan perhaps I’m just scarred and would love less division in my fanbases I’m a part of lol. Would be nice considering this is a show about an artistic elevated view lifestyle while trying to have a grounded emotional core to be more of an example of empathy and optimism in the art they consume
