Nothing wildly experimental here, but the pleasant tradition of reworking dialogs and editing of past reels, with a post MTV freedom. From "What's up tiger lily" to "Dead men don't wear plaids", or the brilliant offering from France "la classe américaine", the genre has been well trodden.
But the choices made here make these episodes a worthwhile addition, it is not overtly parodic or satirical, it does not fish for laughs, but rather offers an offbeat game of hide and seek for the cinephiles, or just for the late night insomniac maniacal TV viewer like me, across familiar images, weirdly unfamiliar messages.
The closest offering one could parallel it to is the wonderful "documentary now".
To make it sweeter, there's a who's'who voice over cast, Armisen, Offerman, Stolz, Aubrey Plaza, Matthew Gray Gubler, colmann domingo, fineman, melons, and more.
It's a wonderful world meets news from the world, from suddenly i ripped off last summer to ed wood's Karens and night of the living Karls, from inspired by true events to decided by false possibilities and yes, Cars finally meet Herbie.
Bus as is said in episode 9, "i don't want to insert myself in their narrative."
If you like movies, you'll love this. If you're the occasional cinema goer, with no movies older than this this millenium under your belt, you might get bored. Your choice, ladies and gentlemen, and if you don't know who's Herbie, then "frankly, i don't give a damn, my dear".
