Just finished the new Dave Chappelle Netflix special. Super funny and the last 25-30 minutes or so are especially great. The secret epilogue afterwards was a nice surprise too. Basically 20 minutes of Q+A from his Broadway shows. Is this the same special where he defends Micheal Jackson and Louis C.K. ?

You guys are being ridiculous. Any words you could say are passable as long as you clarify you aren’t doing a social commentary and add an air-horn effect after

It was a funny bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I honestly think it's profoundly weird for someone's takeaway of a comedy special they clearly haven't watched to be "Dave Chappelle advocates for child abuse"

"I'm going to say something I'm not allowed to say, but I gotta be real; I don't believe the motherfuckers. I don't believe it. I am what's known on the streets as a victim blamer. You know what I mean? If someone came up to me like, 'Dave, Dave, Chris Brown just beat up Rihanna'. I'd be like 'Well, what did she do?' 'Dave, Michael Jackson is molesting children!''Well, what were those kids wearing at the time?' I don't think he did it"
Fucking hilarious stuff dude

Not sure how anyone could find that funny, but you do you.

I was curious about this as well so I put on the special to see if this was the case and as it turns out, nope! He does this after a segment where he tells the audience that “cancel culture” has gone too far and that even if what you did was a long time ago people are going to try to get you. After the quoted segment he claims that being raped as a child is cool if it’s done by a celebrity because “everyone else gets awkward thanksgivings and at least they got to say they sucked Michael Jackson’s dick”. It is genuinely reprehensible.

We are in vigorous agreement that the only valid takeaway from the Chappelle special is "different people find different things funny"

Finished Mindhunter this past weekend. Overall very well done, although I had some minor issues. Mainly they clearly had no plan to use Holden's panic attacks as a major story arc with how quickly the buried it, but it wasted an episode. Also they used Manson just so they would have an excuse to use Manson, I guess. Berkowitz appearing at least served a purpose. I wasn't familiar with the Atlanta Child Murders before this show aired, but I've been reading pretty extensively about the similarities between the show and the actual cases this week. Just insane that a huge case like that faded into the background so quickly with no actual convictions for the murders outside of two adult victims. I guess next season will be all BTK? Otherwise maybe they'll just continue teasing that out because they've got two seasons of that now.

I'm glad they shed some light on the Atlanta Child Murders, I'd never heard of them either before this season. Dunno if word got around that they were focusing on it this season or not, but the city of Atlanta re-opened the case this year.
I could see them stretching the BTK thing out for another season, depending on the time frame it takes place. This season ends in 1981, and BTK's next murder doesn't happen till 1985. Fincher said he wants to do 5 seasons total so they could in theory have BTK be the focus on Season 5 since they didn't catch him till 2005.

i also finished Mindhunter over the weekend. i thought it was pretty good. my weird complaint is that background music in some scenes was way too loud. that scene in e1 or e2 when holden and carr go to the bar was nearly incomprehensible to me. Mainly they clearly had no plan to use Holden's panic attacks as a major story arc with how quickly the buried it, but it wasted an episode. Also they used Manson just so they would have an excuse to use Manson, I guess. Berkowitz appearing at least served a purpose. i thought the manson interview was worthwhile in a) how good their makeup/hair people are; b) getting under bill's skin cause of the parallels manson drew to his son.

Finished Mindhunter last night. Thought it was kinda overhyped overall but the last few episodes were definitely amazing.
I think putting it up there with S1 of True Detective, like I've seen a lot of people doing, is a bit much.

After the quoted segment he claims that being raped as a child is cool if it’s done by a celebrity because “everyone else gets awkward thanksgivings and at least they got to say they sucked Michael Jackson’s dick”. It is genuinely reprehensible. Um, I'm pretty sure his point with that is that celebrity worship is ridiculous.

How would that be the takeaway from a rant where he was yelling that he didn’t think Michael Jackson raped a child? Christ, if the “r u libz triggered yet?” Crowd is fawning over a comedy special which, fun fact, they are, then he is at absolute best incapable of presenting any nuance in his comedy that he’s supposedly trying to express. Why is everyone making excuses for a transphobic asshole?

How would that be the takeaway from a rant where he was yelling that he didn’t think Michael Jackson raped a child? As part of the segment, he says he doesn't believe it based on the weak defense presented by Macaulay Culkin, even though there's a ton of evidence. That, plus the adulation people have for celebrity, makes it hard for adult men to be believed about sexual abuse. And to prove his point about celebrity adulation, he jokes about going and molesting Macaulay Culkin himself. And what does the audience do? They fulfill his claim by laughing. There's your nuance. You have to look beyond the surface of what he's saying. If you watched the entire special and you come away thinking that he was serious about those kids being lucky that Michael Jackson sucked their dicks and that he would have gladly shown Michael Jackson his anus so that he wouldn't be poor, well...stay outraged. I think there are far better things to be pissed off about.

Righteous Gemstones is pretty enjoyable through 3 episodes. Same. But I'm a huge John Goodman fan and generally into whatever Danny McBride does, so I don't know if there was any other way this could go.
