    Since people in Merkmere had an incredibly short lifespan of approximately six years, you would think that Geribold Henry wouldn't harbor such deep-seated vengeance towards those who wronged her and would instead choose to live her extraordinarily brief life to the fullest.

    What you have to understand about Merkmere is that since their lifespans are typically so short, their education system is very poor. These children do not know what a third of anything is. They probably shouldn't be running businesses.

    Seeing a clip of this on TikTok is what finally convinced me to get dropout because as someone who has followed offbook pod for a couple years I needed to know the context for this. When I tell you I was shook that Jess came up with the store thing in that moment and it wasn’t a recap of a plot that had already been established. And Scott and the rest of the band really just tie it all together so beautifully. Everyone in this episode was at the top of their game 👏🏼

    Every time I see an episode I start doubting if it's not scripted, enormous props to the band as well, freestyling words and singing a key is one thing (incredible in it's own right) but the musical understanding and timing, stopping to play only to jump back in, superb

    I love this show so much and I feel bad for saying this, but Mano was the worst choice for this show. I just can't watch it with him as the host. Sam's enthusiasm for musical improv was infectious on Game Changers, but with Mano I always just get the sense that he would rather be on stage with the performers and it creates a tension that is uncomfortable and doesn't work for me.
    Maybe rotating hosts would solve the issue so that Mano could get some time on stage.

    • @nanwijanarko1969
      @nanwijanarko1969 Год назад +4

      I also feel bad saying this, but I agree the show feels underwhelming despite the great casts. Oh I loved the talents, loved the improvs, loved the whole talented band, but something about how the show progressed feels a little jagged and not authentic. Just play after play after play. I find Mano's manner of instructions and comments rather intrusive to the flow.
      I was afraid I'm being biased and gave it the whole season a try, and there are gems here and there because the casts are just that talented. Still, when Sam's Game Changer "Karaoke Night" came out, I find that I missed his enthusiasm.

I think they were still figuring it out in this first season, but since then they've really relaxed into it and found what works best for the format. Including better prompts that give more freedom to the performers!

Dropout is the platform CH turned into, still run by the same people but better because no corporate overlord, and their offerings are like 50% TTRPG live play and 50% comedic offerings from the CH cast that would be familiar to fans from just before the switch to Dropout. It's way different now, but they've been doing it all on their own now and making it work

      They've definitely moved to more live/improv/gameshow stuff in the past few years. I think the closest thing they have to actual scripted content is the Breaking News series.

      @RiiFT I completely get what you mean, but I *would* argue that what CH was during its weakest days (before the reacquiring and all that) was formulaic. They'd developed their formula strictly, and were sticking to it. Now, they've got a plethora of different series, all with wildly different vibes, and a cast that clearly loves making them.
      It can be hard to tell though, since it's all behind a subscription. I can't recommend highly enough that you grab the Dropout free trial, I did it and ended up not going back :P. Someone else mentioned Breaking News potentially being your cup of tea, but Gamechanger is by far the standout for me.
