Bill Hader is BARRY (HBO)

[Drizzle]

Was not officially renewed at the time, Hader said that both scripts for S3 and 4 were already written

‘Barry’ Season 3 and Season 4 Are Already Written and Waiting to Film

Gotcha. I knew it was something but I might have confused Barry for Atlanta, which actually did film its third and fourth seasons back to back.

 

[KingDrac]

Was that Michael Ironside in the promo for next week?

Sure looked like him.

 

[-Arya-]

Saw the first episode today. It had a great hook and I’m interested to watch the whole series. Each episode being about 30 minutes is great too. I could probably knock it out in a week.

 

[Drizzle]

Jeez, and I thought the ending to the second episode was dark...

 

[Sawyer]

Barry’s wild as hell for thinking that wasn’t going to freak Sally out.

 

[Kane52630]

That last scene felt like something out of Pulp Fiction.

 

[NotNickFury]

Sally's show cancelled in less than 24 hours. That's a record that SyFy and Fox wish they could reach.

Also, that ending with the mother accidentally shooting her son felt like something right out of Fargo.

 

[Kane52630]

Absolutely loved the homage to Michael Mann's Thief.

The moment I saw the RT scores on their streaming service, I knew it was talking about NBC's Peacock.

And to think Hader and Co. had the foresight to cast Mark Paul Gosselaar before the Saved by the Bell cancellation even hit…

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Okay two moments in this episode made me laugh out loud for like 5 minutes straight. The cops and the Bolivians showing up at the Chechan drug base at the same time and Barry freaking out Sally at the end which was so messed up and uncomfortable that it made me laugh even harder lol.

 

[Incarnadine]

Just watched the latest episode and I gotta say this season has been worth the extra long wait we endured.
Also nice to see Michael Ironside an Laura San Giacomo make an appearance.

I dont think it's a shot at specifically Peacock as much as streaming in general. Maybe Netflix specifically
Actually this is what Hader had to say

“I did have a guy I worked with tell me, ‘Hey, I have a show. It’s gonna be on Netflix,’ and then going on Netflix and seeing it on the homepage that morning. Then I came back that night to watch it and it wasn’t on the homepage anymore so I searched it and it was like that joke that’s in there where she had to type out pretty much the whole thing before it showed up. That is from life.”

Bill Hader Recaps Barry Season 3 Episode 5

 

[Kane52630]

Oh I know it's streaming in general and I listened to Bill Hader talk about the Netflix story. It's just the interface on that Banshe site is eerily similar to Peacock where it has the RT scores next to whatever you're watching.

Oh I didn't know Peacock did that

 

[NotNickFury]

Peacock, huh? I would make a The Good Place joke, but apparently that series isn't on Peacock now, but Netflix as of now. Strange. Unless there's still some deal in place, I would've figured NBC, like other companies, pulled their original programming and put it on their own platform.

That's what they, and everyone, is doing. IT's just they have other deals currently in place that they can't break on a whim.

Expect in 5 years all NBC content to be on Peacock, Paramount stuff to be on Paramount+, etc.

 

[NotNickFury]

That entire motorcycle chase was the definition of "Boy, that escalated quickly." Brilliantly directed and executed.

Also, that barista has seen it all.

 

[Sawyer]

The “hand-off” made me laugh so hard.

 

[Drizzle]

I half expected to see a Grand Theft Auto "Mission Passed" graphic pop up when Barry brought the beignets to Chris's wife. That was better than most chase scenes I've seen in the majority of recent big budget blockbusters.

 

[Slick]

This show just like Breaking Bad just puts its self into a corner every episode I’m left wondering how the hell are they going to get out of this. That chase sequence was crazy and that GTA comparison is on point.

 

[MadVillainy]

Really enjoying the season.

The chase sequence was great too. Really creative.

I wouldn't even say "most" I'd say "all". I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed a chase scene in a big budget blockbuster. Not that I've disliked any but still.

It's also funny cuz Stranger Things 4 just had imo the best gunfight/shootout sequence I've seen in a long time this weekend too

I said "most" because I'm giving the benefit of a doubt to Top Gun Maverick, which I haven't seen yet. But if you were to tell me five years ago that an HBO comedy directed by Bill Hader would have one of the best action scenes in years I'd have called you crazy.

OT: Maverick was great. Really good. Great action scenes. Don't know if I'd say it had a great chase scene.

But yeah I agree. Never would've guessed Hader would be directing some of the best action scenes or that Jordan Peele was director so of the best horror or Donald Childish Gambino Glover was doing some of the best racial commentary on TV/film.
Really good time for comedic creative types
