I feel confident in saying that Steve Sutton knows jack shit about making sweet iced tea.

Look, I know I've had a drink, but Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep almost made me cry.

considering Sarah's main personality quirk I feel like recent events absolutely have to factor into season 3

in that recent "showrunners write a corona episode" piece in vulture there was a joe pera piece

Mordy, Monday, 6 April 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link

JOE and SARAH sit on their respective cots in Sarah’s fortified basement, each reading big books. Joe looks up, asks …

JOE: “Sarah, do you think they’re still gonna do Movie Night at the library next week?”

SARAH: “What?”

Joe removes from his mouth the cinnamon stick he’s been chewing on.

JOE: “Do you think that there’ll be Movie Night at the library next week?”

Sarah opens her mouth to respond but pauses. Of course, it’ll be canceled, but she knows how much Joe looks forward to the event each month and doesn’t want to give him the disappointing news.

Unfortunately, the pause lingers long enough for Joe to figure it out and he nods and returns to reading, disheartened.

Sarah sees the sad look on his face and begins to hum the tune of “Good Time Girl,” used in the opening credits of The New Pope, a television show that they have been watching this week — one episode each night before bed.

Joe doesn’t look up from his book but begins to move his shoulders up and down to the beat. Though he will never be able to dance like the attractive nuns at the beginning of each episode, Sarah and Joe imagine him doing so and smile.

They go back to their books. —Joe Pera

Naturally, I bought Ladies of the Lights, by Patricia Majher. And, naturally, I can only hear Joe Pera's voice as I read it.

I am growing mange tout peas up the side of a gazebo, which is the closest I can get to a bean arch this year.

We finally watched the first day of school episode, and with everything that's going on at the moment, it straight up made me cry.

the Joe Pera short is good; also the John Hodgman & David Rees Dicktown shorts are good.

Great season @BuffaloBills, good game @Chiefs. Hope you beat Brady and that the @Patriots don’t make the playoffs again for 100 years

REVERIES + REVERIES GOING DEEPER
Q&A W/ FILMMAKERS MODERATED BY JOE PERA
January 27th 8pm
https://stream.spectacletheater.com/

Reveries, and it’s follow-up Reveries: Going Deeper, are comedy tone poems/visual albums revolving around two mysterious drifters who never speak, but whose inner monologues carry us across a landscape of absurdist one-liners, surreal stories, and stream-of-consciousness musings. Backed by a dreamy original score and hallucinogenic montages created from camcorder footage shot over the course of years all around the world, Reveries is a singular, unclassifiable experience at the intersection of alt comedy, internet video art, and underground weirdo cinema.

Reveries tracks the drifters as they travel across the American landscape in what reveals itself as a journey into their own unravelling minds and psyches. The more narrative-driven, Reveries: Going Deeper, takes place in a dystopian future where the drifters broadcast their “reveries” from an underground, pirate radio station, attempting to save the world by diving deeper into their own minds than they’ve ever been before.

Stick around after the screening for a Q&A with Director Director Graham Mason & Writer/Stars Anthony Oberbeck & Matt Barats moderated by Joe Pera of Joe Pera Talks With You"

after watching the full series of The Sopranos, the new episode was much needed balm. Bart is a worthwhile addition to the Pera universe. I teared up a bit near the end.

I had totally missed the pandemic special (and it really was just so goddamn special) until last week. I really could've used that in the doldrums of 2020. It's my Bo Burham: Inside.

the humor on this is so clean cut that a line like "Mr. Pera Balls" nearly made me fall off the couch

it has been a great season.

"Joe Pera Discusses School-Appropriate Entertainment With You" was particularly great. The conversation with the young puppeteer, the libertarian magician, "Why would that be the first line of anything?"
