Dawg, you gotta stay with me. I’m moving very fast today, come ON. I do not have time to play Inspector Gadget with your emotions, but I will say I’m sah-wry for posting this
Eastbound and Down Chapter 15 recap mere hours before the airing of “next week’s” episode. I made a
promise last week to be more prompt with my recaps, but apparently, my fuckery knows no bounds. Without divulging too much, I’ll just say the excuse for my post’s tardiness is that this last week, I decided to be a big baby about some personal things. Stupid fuckin’ baby. But oh well, let’s get past this! Spring is on the horizon, and I’ve got a very important
Who’s Fucking In, Who’s Fucking Out count to tally!
So, Chapter 15 was really weird, right? This episode really skirted the line…as to who this show is really for. Is it rednecks or smart people? Or, is the show trying to play smashy smashy to both crowds? Whatever the writers were smoking, I’d say it didn’t pan out as well as they’d hoped. The episode started strong for the first half, and then right after Kenny walked into Ashley Shaeffer’s Kia dealership, the show turned into a Will Farrell movie. And not one of those funny ha-ha Farrell movies like Roxbury, Elf, and select parts of Drowning Mona, Old School and Zoolander, but rather one of those god-awful self-aggrandizing productions like Talladega, Stepbrothers, Semi-Pro, and select parts of Anchorman. Like many other good drug appreciators, I know that sometimes it’s best to appreciate drugs from afar. Sure, it’s fun as hell to get wasted with buddies and film one of them dressed up as an Asian concubine, but your trip passes the point of no return when the loudest friend in the room decides to air the footage.
Relax. The episode wasn’t depraved or so downright imbecilic to the point of it not being watchable. I still had a lot of fun with it, and that’s an uplifting realization when I consider that this show has raised the bar so high on entertainment in general, that even its shittiest episode is well done. Alright, now without further ado…
