    Turns out this is where Oz P really shines instead of Serious Elevated Horror About Trauma. Just wall to wall nasty gags! Gets a little stymied when it has to actually be a movie and move plot forward but the Theo Jameses are UNBELIEVABLE. People compare too much stuff to I Think You Should Leave but there’s this one gag about a group of teen girl bullies that really was. Also the one guy in this looks exactly like Duane from Home Movies

    Albert Brooks's pleading "come on!" deserves to be in the…
