    Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go

    Nearly finished with season one of Hacks so of course I’m obsessed with Hannah Einbinder. 
    Her first stand-up special is a well written, one woman performance piece.

    ★★½

    “Stop being melodramatic”

    Were audiences vibing with Griffs (Cornel Wilde) behavior in 1949 because it doesn’t take long for one to realize that he is one sinister son of a bitch. 
    I kept wondering what Hitchcock would do with this creepy, life ruining mofo whose obsession with Jenny (Knight) drives him from promising civil servant to stealing sandwiches and looking for day labor under the name Buddy Smith. 

    I mean, c’mon!
