Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 11: “You’re The Worst” Season Two Finale

April 20, 2016 /

 

Bryan and Taylor are back! And this week, they discuss the surprisingly hopeful ending of “You’re The Worst” Season Two and some of the beautiful bits of writing therein. [SPOILERS AHEAD, SO BEWARE!] First, they discuss the finale and break down how the B, C and D storylines played out and whether they were successful. Are some of the supporting characters too abrasive? Or too dumb? (0:45-12:55) More importantly, did the show stick the landing with the payoff to Gretchen and Jimmy’s season-long difficulties? (13:30-18:00) Then, they discuss what is next for “You’re The Worst” Season Three. Where will the show go from here? (18:00-20:15) Finally, Bryan and Taylor tease what’s left this year for the Fauxworthy Podcast (20:15-22:27). Only three episodes left, so stay tuned!

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 9: Is “You’re The Worst” Done Being a Comedy? Was “Project Greenlight” A Success?

April 18, 2016 /

 

Bryan and Taylor discuss “You’re The Worst” and its shift from comedy (1:10-10:15), Aziz Ansari’s “Master of None” and its distinct take on the world (10:15-16:50) as well as HBO’s “Project Greenlight” and the ensuing “The Leisure Class” (16:50-21:55). Then, Taylor pimps his new column (http://gainesvillescene.com/2015/11/17/hidden-in-plain-view-unreal-2/) and they tease next week’s discussion over TV fake-outs.

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 3: The Honesty of Modern TV Comedy

April 16, 2016 /

 

Bryan Faux and Taylor Gaines are back again. This week, they discuss some of their favorite comedies on television, including Comedy Central’s “Review,” FXX’s “You’re the Worst” and HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”

(The episode number that Bryan says at the beginning will slightly differ for the first seven or so episodes because Bryan initially had more of a general media podcast. As far as the Fauxworthy TV Podcast goes, this is number three.)

Original Recording Date: Sep. 15, 2015

Here’s the timeline for what went down this week:

“Review”/Appreciating Emotional Comedy 00:30-17:00

Appreciating Emotional Comedy/”You’re The Worst”/Horrible People 17:00-29:35

“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” 29:35-49:52
