    The writing on this is probably one of Joel's best written sketches, it's incredibly funny, Incredibly complex and very very clever. A dystopian world where very basic situations on earth are their Hollywood blockbusters, we don't know how high budget or low budget these films are, dax is nervous about playing something so simple (may i add, dax is incredible on this) , and the director has a deep struggling complex at home with his wife using dax to replay his trauma. Its just so so good how it all just subtly gels together. I can't ever stop watching this masterpeice

      When I bring home groceries or carry out food, sometimes out of a sense of self-deprecating bemusement and minor accomplishment I play it up, like, 'I went hunting today!', or, 'The hunter returns with bounty!"
      I'm beginning to think that, not only do I only amuse myself with this gag... but also that I'm the only one in on the joke.

      And coming this summer - Man at DMV, an epic tale of how one man conquered his inner demons urging him to destroy the crowded building he was in, only for something terrible to be revealed.....
