Shlesinger Confidential.
6 Episodes. Starring: Iliza Shlesinger. Creator: Iliza Shlesinger.
Sink showing 'Boogie Nights' and 'The Departed' star Mark Wahlberg whose boss against a bathroom mirror he later on fists like a bar fight, Iliza Shlesinger takes a role that would otherwise be cloaked in crude and crass clichés (like the one I just made about fisting...my bad) and has so much fun with it. In 'Spenser Confidential', the fifth film between 'Lone Survivor', 'Deepwater Horizon' and 'Patriots Day' big-three, acting and directing dynamic duo, double team, Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg, following 'Mile-22' she steals the show from the perfect partnership, Winston Duke (the man that did the same from Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan and the warrior women three of Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright in Marvel's 'Black Panther') and good ole, 'Argo' "f### yourself", Al Arkin. The moment she rescued him from his hostages and asked if they made him "engage in any a## play", just finished me off. That's when I knew like John Mulaney or Melissa Mccarthy, Ali Wong or Sebastian Maniscalo that right behind the likes of Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld (we need her 'Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee') she's one of the funniest people alive, watching this Netflix movie. Turns out she owns the whole streaming service that that swipe left scroll of finding the perfect partner when you're Netflix and chilling on your own during this corona locked down quarantine right now.
Claw away at a 'Tiger King' all you like, like everyone else right now before 'Tigertail' shows you what has the real Netflix stripes this weekend tomorrow, but we all know Netflix is a joke. And an inspired Iliza is having the last laugh. You can stand-up with everyone from the 'Tambourine' of Chris Rock to 'Our Man In Chicago', 'Curb Your Enthusiasm's' very own Jeff Garlin. But it seems like Shlesinger and the star of the show, her puppy Blanche (now how's that for an animal?) and the iconic head-to-head I.D. shot have more Netflix specials than Marvel have cancelled 'Defender' series. Or Kevin Hart. It's OK, 'Daredevil' can't read this. It all hash-tag began like ordering "Flah Bread" because you're entitled with the hot as hell/cold as ice debut special 'Freezing Hot', before 'Confirmed Kills' really finished everyone off. Than this 'Elder Millennial' dropped the mic on a military boat for love and country, before finally becoming 'Unveiled' last year following her wedding as Blanche dog walked the stage aisle in a veil. And now just weeks after going 'Spenser Confidential' with Wahlberg, Berg and company, this classic comedian like going 'Inside Amy Schumer' (you wish) holds her own stage with 'The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show'. Six sweet bits of comedy in this half a dozen series that reminds us of the Aziz Ansari and his dudes beginnings of 'Human Giant' ("LET'S GO!") I used to have video playing on my iPod Classic (remember that?) as she pushes the envelope like 'Chappelle Show' or the Comedy Central satirical social commentary of the faux news politics as unusual of 'The Daily Show'...with some correspondents here too for the record.
Stop press! This show like Shlesinger is funny as f###. We just wish we had more helpings of this bakers dozen like 'The Chef Show' aid of 'Chef' and 'Iron Man' star and director Jon Favreau. But how's this for a portion? So much so we don't want to hear the last 'Play Pretend' theme by the MGMT and Empire Of The Sun like Smallpools theme like those who don't want to hear this earworm ever again. All to set off an animated title sequence for a show that selects its sketches like you were scrolling through a streaming service like Netflix. Well give your fingers a rest like finding a real someone to love outside of Tinder, because you don't have to swipe left only to spend your whole night not finding anything until its all too late to find something and you find yourself down the YouTube rabbit hole once again. How about a female version of 'Jackass'? Don't try this, but do watch this at home as Iliza Shlesinger welcomed us to a Jackass that makes its presenters post selfies with no filter and prank knock on their exes door and run. A brave and bold master move in taking shots at not just men (like the alcoholic anonymous underground meeting of women who admit they actually aren't ashamed of themselves, presided over by the mansplainers of toxicity, straight outta System of the Down like the "rolling suicide" of this Chop Suey), but the way some women treat each other and the sickening standards they have to keep just to be treated with some R.E.S.P.E.C...T to be Franklin. Other skits take on shows like The View to hilarious "me, me, me" effect too, once they even get down to talking following their opening introductions pointing at the crowd and soaking it all in like they were ball players or Martha Stewart rock stars. And there's the stuff we just can't spoil like lesbian chefs called Dylan and topknots...which ruin everything. From a game night more hilarious than Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, to a meta jab at the season by seasons that pass in this 'Winter Is Coming' age before a T.V. show gets good...or not if you look at certain series' final season after all that binging. And just wait until you meet Nicole Kidman's stunt double bench pressing everything like the ripped fat dudes that are protein powder somewhere on the scale of "Matt Damon between movies and Russell Crowe at his peak". Or find out the mystery to why a couple went on a boat trip together like Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway's 'Serenity'...and both came back?! I'm sorry...what?! Check the 'Mom Alerts' and take the advice for this new series stream audition. 'A Star Is Born' like her pup and the crufts dog show from this dog mom here like Lady Bow Wow and Bradley Roofer. Tie a home show, bespoke bow around and "look at that". Joining her 'Forever 31' and 'Truth and Iliza' shows this smart satire is a funny take of scathing of feminism that takes on anyone who doesn't take this subject matter itself seriously. All especially if this real, "woke" life comes across as parody like down the street from a SNL Levis commercial. Comic relief and this stand up talent is a sweet escape like Gwen Stefani, no doubt. Something that we COVID scared need right now in a world of weary worry. This show came at exactly the right time when the couch is our best friend like potato chips and whatever on the tube is our solitude. And company doesn't get much better than this comedy. Dear Iliza is taking us out a hole. The 'Last Comic Standing'. Hash-tag, 'The G.O.A.T.' BAAAA! TIM DAVID HARVEY.
Further Filming: 'Inside Amy Schumer', 'Chappelle Show', 'Human Giant'.
