Young Jesse down on all fours, smiling, looking at a donkeys dick had me in tears. Had to pause the episode to catch my breath.

How on Earth did they convince John Goodman to be on this show? He’s perfect for his role.


Edit: also we are supposed to imply that Baby Billy had something to do with his sisters death after that episode, or am I the only one who thought that?

I'm sure it was very difficult to convince the long time comedic actor John Goodman to play a major role in an HBO comedy show.

I thought she had cancer or something like that. I thought she died relatively recently too, so I don’t think there’s supposed to be anything suspicious going on, but who knows.

Apparently like this:

John Goodman posted:

My agent sent me the script and they told me it was Danny McBride, and I read it and, oddly enough, I’d just lost the Roseanne job about two days before this. So I said, “Well, yeah. Now I got time, so let’s go.” I always thought Danny was funny and he had something going on. His characters are just braggadocio. They are weak men, but they bluster to get by.


[quote]Edit: also we are supposed to imply that Baby Billy had something to do with his sisters death after that episode, or am I the only one who thought that?[/url]I assume this will get explored more, but my guess would be less "he literally caused her death" and more "his push to do the tour leads to a series of events where she dies and everyone blames Baby Billy more on the level of "if she wasn't in Birmingham with you on that tour..." more than "you gave her poisoned prenatal vitamins/you killed her in a drunk driving accident".

Festering indirect resentment seems more like how they're treating everything as opposed to "you literally murdered my [wife/mother]", though I also enjoy how often the McBride/Hill/Green shows subvert my expectations, so who knows? Maybe Baby Billy convinced Jesse to give her a Perfectplex and it killed her.

I really liked this episode, but that's because I love John Goodman and Walton Goggins. Although young Goodman was kind of creepy looking, his face was so smooth. Apparently this was an extra episode that they hadn't originally planned for and this seemed to be the best place to put it. I think my favorite line was "It makes my bird twitch", which is definitely something Judy would say.

It was shockingly profane.

I found the cinematography in the Misbehaving scene kind of ominous - something about a pregnant woman tapdancing on stage put me on edge. The closeups of their feet just made me think about them being close to the edge of the stage and her slipping. I think young Danny McBride wishing she has an accident to end the pregnancy also kind of foreshadows some sort of accident rather than murder or simply death by childbirth.

ya with these kinda shows it could be genuine death flags or them just loving with the audience and the entire point is to make you realize you're thinking about how this character could totally plausibly do something so horrible even if he doesn't actually do it.

I take it you haven't spent much time in the South.

I knew multiple Rusty's, one Bubba, many adults who still referred to their fathers as "Daddy," one "Pappy," and various others I can't recall that you think might be parody but were all too real.

McBride/DGG do the best uncanny valley of TV shows set in the South where it's so close to being real, just slightly exaggerated and refracted to be funnier and more hosed up.

edit: Goggins is a national treasure and I'm so glad he got hooked up with McBride.

I could've sworn they showed a gravestone or something for her that said 2017, but I can't recall exactly when. But that is the impression I had, that she had died relatively recently and Eli is still trying to deal with her being gone.

Although that birthdate doesn't match up with what we were told in this episode, which took place in 1989, where they said she was in her 40s.

Skimming through the first few episodes, there's a prayer card in Baby Billy's home with the same birth date but the death date is conspicuously blocked in the shot.

I don't know if this is just people (myself included) jumping to conclusions/theorycrafting or if they're deliberately playing with expectations; on one hand a lot of stuff with Eli makes it seem like her death is new and he's reeling, but both in the show and in interviews they're implying/outright saying that there's been a longterm rot/disintegration of the family due to Aimee-Leigh's death.
