We’ve chattered about this in passing comments in a few places, and I know some folks have been watching. I wanted to give a particular shout to an episode from a couple weeks ago, which I just saw on demand — called “Bully.” As usual, there is some very funny stand-up and some wry, off-center, also-funny stuff about his dad’s “sex talk” and about a blind date. But part way through Louis is challenged by a late-adolescent bully, and it prompts him to follow the guy home, and to confront the parents. This is pretty fucking stunning stuff: there’s a creepy and uncomfortable vibe–an anxiety as Louis follows the guy through mass transit, and the ultimate confrontation is handled with precision, a lack of big punchlines, an amazingly subtle and oblique engagement with visions of masculinity, family dynamics, class, and violence. Seeing this, I want to see LCK given a big budget and room to make longer films, to explore in longer form–’cause this isn’t just great stand-up turned into situations, it’s really strong filmmaking.
