      It is strange if the point she wanted to make was wanting to be young & wanted why not just use a hot college guy for that scene? Like he could come over thinking she wanted it & then self sabotage by pushing the doll on him. I haven't seen the show so I don't know exactly the point being made, but I think that was the gist.

      Her BF looks to be at least 20ish years older than her and thats being generous..so maybe her subconcious is wanting to reverse that and be in a "relationship" where the power dynamic favors her as the older one? Idk its wierd either way but it could have been a form of projection since there is a rather large age gap in her relationship.

    Let's summarize the issues I had in episode 9. The doll was supposed to be a part of Cody. The doll then wanted to have s** with a 14 year old and described his genitals in great detail as he was getting out of the pool in slow motion. So that means Cody basically wanted to have s** with a child subconsciously. She then attempts to get the child to have s** with the doll but fails and he RUNS away. Then Cody basically calls the child a liar, once confronted and plays the victim. That's all you hear about that and the show moves on like it never happened. I'm so disturbed by how they felt like it was okay to put that scene into the show.

      @jacquelinecallejas1390 Před 3 lety +81

      This isn't due to feminism. It is due to hold over patriarchal thinking. The idea that a boy can't really be raped or sexually exploited by a woman predates feminism by hundreds if not thousands of years. The idea,and believe me I do NOT agree with it, is that a guy ALWAYS wants sex and since only straight people matter, a guy will ALWAYS want sex with a woman. So if a woman initiates sex, even sex with a minor, he is supposed to be happy about it and other guys are supposed to congratulate him on "getting some." Most of the people who have made movies/tv that show that POV have been men since men have traditionally made most movies and tv and still make a disproportionately high percent of it. I remember an episode of Glee where one of the male leads says he was sexually abused when he was a pre-teen and at first everybody is empathic but then he reveals it was by his female baby sitter and all the boys went "then what's the problem?" and "lucky dog" etc. The girls didn't make fun but weren't really supportive. The people behind the scenes of that show were predominantly male. They didn't even have any female writers at all for most of the show.

      What's sad is that's actually how movies are pitched to the studios. You don't describe the plot on it's own merits but instead say it's like movie x meets movie y. Ben Garant and Tom Lennon wrote a book about writing films and the pitch meeting is described like this. It's what the studios expect so it's what people do, it's no surprise it starts to affect the actual film.

Like, he's clearly way older than her, and drastic age gaps tend to be unhealthy given the difference in maturity. People are usually still figuring out who they are well into their 20s and that is sometimes taken advantage of.

    Amanda asking Anna to hang out over their shared shelf of legos is my aesthetic

    Anna Kendrick truly is Magic, and it seems like this program validates the truism that one can make art out of anything if it is approached with enough craft and enough dedication. On a technical note, how did you get the screen grabs of parts of scenes? Did quibi relax its formatting? Did you aim a camera at a screen and hope for the best?

    I have to say, the idea is not what I was expecting. I figured it was like "Mannequin" or about a ventriloquist dummy or something.

    This show makes so much more sense now that I know it's about Cody Heller and Dan Harmon

    This show reminds me of a show called Wilfred.

    It would have been a lot better as a full on animated show on adult swim or something

    I'm glad I finally found somebody talking about this show. I get advertisements for it pretty often and I was surprised how little I've seen people mention it online.

    At first, I thought why is this show super weird and then I learned it’s made by someone who knows Dan Harmon and now I’m like “yeah, that actually makes perfect sense now…”

    How did Adult Swim not pick this up? Do they not exist anymore? They used to have the 10ish minute blocks with Metalocalypse.

      Where do you think they're airing Rick and Morty?

      @@ajoajoajoaj Hmm, true. You'd think a show like this would be something they'd be all over though, given the premise.

    Amanda, you’re really saving us here by watching all of these...questionable movies/shows.

    Imagine being able to afford Lego in current year (but money can’t stop me from getting at least 2 501st battle packs)

    No guy in the freaking world would ever have a sexdoll if they had Anna Kendrick as a girlfriend.

    Tbh I’ve had doubts about this show from the first couple seconds of the trailer who sees a piece of glitter and immediately jumps too “are you cheating one me”

    Thank GOD you’re covering this show!! From the moment I saw ads for this show, I knew it needed to be talked about!
