Welcome back to yet another episode of Dumping Them Out.
This episode is brought to you by by the Zionist Christian Church of Africa.
Are there people who find that to be a controversial group of people?
How do they compare to Zionists in Israel?
I have no idea.
I did one Google search on what they stand for and didn’t get a clear answer.
But I saw their shoes and said “these guys rock”.
Look at those bad boys.
Just guys being dudes, worshipping Christ in their big shoes.
I wonder if there’s internal competition over who has the biggest shoes.
If the bigger the shoes, the closer to god.
The person in charge does seem to have the biggest ones.
Or if there are more expensive brands of big shoe, or certain types of more expensive material.
What is it about the shoes that brings them closer to god?
Are they for sale somewhere or do I have to make my own?
I’m very interested in specifically the shoes aspect of their religion.
Love the show Severance.
But Apple TV does themselves a massive disservice by releasing the new episodes on Friday.
It’s one of my all-time favorite series.
Tons of people online talk about it.
But they schedule their episodes to drop Friday at 3am EST.
Then sometimes they’ll randomly drop an episode on Thursday night.
Drop them Sunday at 9pm and people would watch it together like they do Game of Thrones.
The way it is now, you get people watching it late on Thursday.
Then they’ll tweet about it, so on Friday you gotta avoid spoilers.
Which people get mad about.
If you have plans on Friday night, then you gotta wait until Saturday.
Makes no sense to me.
Apple TV just does an awful job marketing their shows overall.
But that’s objectively stupid.
Spending 5 months on a 2:20 second scene that is barely even pertinent to the plot.
They could have gotten the point of that scene across in 5 hours.
No robots were required for that.
Hollywood is so dumb sometimes.
But it’s still stupid to brag about that.
It’s just praising inefficiency.
The Blair Witch Project had a budget of $60k.
But that’s so much more impressive than Severance’s stupid 5 month intro.
I saw the musical Hadestown on Friday night.
Beats out Moulin Rouge for best musical I’ve seen.
Some of them definitely suck.
I saw one called Six, which is about the 6 ex-wives of King Henry VIII.
That one stunk out loud.
There was virtually zero acting.
King Henry VIII wasn’t even a character in the show.
With Hadestown I learned some stuff about Greek mythology.
It’s extremely impressive what production is able to do with so little space on stage.
I can see how people wouldn’t like some musicals.
But I see people just dismiss the entire genre, and that’s ridiculous.
People who are staunchly anti-musical are missing out on some legitimately great entertainment.
