Toast of Tinseltown (TV Series) LA Story (2022) User Reviews

If this episode were a slice of toast, it would be topped with marshmallows and steak, bonkers.

Now a member of The Tinseltown club, Toast is up for a part in a Star Wars movie, a surprise A Lister waits in the wings.

This was surreal, very funny, seriously zany, I love how stereotypical The Americans were here, they were all loud, vacuous, and of course gun loving. Naturally they all love Berry's accent.

Daniel Day Lewis, say what, that was definitely unexpected. However it was Freddie Fox that had me bowled over, playing his dad, that was so.

It perhaps wasn't as funny as the opener, but still very funny. I loved the Bowie storyline.

Funny, 8/10.

Toast arrives in Tinseltown. No one believes that he has a part in Star Wars.

Toast also thinks he might have a part in a rom com. He just needs approval from the A list British star.

Toast is surprised to learn that he is in effect taking part in some sort of knobbly knees competition.

Another surreal take with a David Bowie motif in this episode. Many of the Americans Toast meets are flaky with outlandish names. Especially his weird landlord.

Paul Rudd phones his performance in. Homer Simpson is also drawn into this.

There was a lot to like about this episode, but there was also a lot that did not work. The new agent character is simply not working. I know what they're going for, the crusty old agent who manipulates younger people, but it simply is not my cup of tea.

I think they're going way overboard on celebrities. Bill Hader seems like a natural fit for the show, but the Paul Rudd thing felt over board.

Some of the storylines and scenes are quite bizarre though. Absurdity has always been a part of Matt Berry's comedy style and in particular Toast of London, but it shouldn't be at the expense of good storytelling, like it is starting to feel like here.
