Friendship

2024

★★★★★ Liked Watched

Friendship won’t shift the needle for anyone on Tim Robinson, but it’s descent into a blend of cringe humor, true horror at the sight of the heart of toxic masculinity, and despair thinking about the male loneliness epidemic, made for a watch that affected me in a multitude of ways. There a number of gags that feel familiar to “I Think You Should Leave”, but reach such extremes of uncomfortability that I couldn’t help but wince or shy my eyes from…

Great reminder that solely voting and relying on legislation accomplishes nothing, sometimes you need a group of assassins to do your bidding for you.

The second segment in…

Growing up, I never felt like I was a boy. I felt for a long part of my life I was chasing something else, and at one point I assumed that meant being a man. And then I ed the first dream where I was a woman and I woke up with my pillow wet covered in tears. But that also never felt right and it would be a long time until I understood my gender and it was through…
