Wonderful idea, but..
25 February 2024
When i stumbled upon this film i thought that it is a wonderful idea and i was really excited to watch it. I understand that a certain rawness can be part of an artwork, but if you make a film and you want the recipient to stay with you for over 4 hours, i think it s also important to make it somewhat watchable. Sadly the shaky camera work and the way it is edited does not work for me. The fast cuts, the low frame rate and the changes in tempo make it very hard to get in to the mood of the moment. He seems to have a had a very nice life and i would have loved to participate in it for a bit longer, but i had to drop out after 30 minutes or so.

Marlon Wayans: Woke-ish (2018 TV Special)
Meh...
4 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is the first time i heard of Marlon Wayans, but i will make sure to remember his name so i can avoid watching his work in the future.

The first few minutes were actually quite ok, but it didnt take long till i he got into the typical cliches eeeeevery stand-up on netflix seems to talk about these days. The word niqqer, bad rap music, trump, obama, bla...

At the same time he actually manages to copy pretty much every contemporary comedian on the stage today and especially rips of Chris Rock several times.

A weak show for people who can laugh just about anything.

Maz Jobrani: Immigrant (2017 TV Special)
Some people will laugh at anything. #sad

This was the first show of Maz Jobrani i have watched and i am pretty sure it was also the last one. He tried very hard to be funny, but failed miserably. His jokes were based on boring stereotypes as well as the usual Trump scandals, which have been discussed to death months ago. Often he only got his laughs after saying "right? right? right?", forcing his audience to whip out the courtesy clap...

I had to turn it off half way through and i'd highly recommend you to find entertainment somewhere else...
