What the Fork?: Exploring The Good Place

Neither Jared nor Jason watched the episode ahead of time. They're really sorry about it. It's a great opener to the season, though, really top notch. Mike O'Malley is great as the doorman, and they talk about him for a while. Me, I'm off to get some decaf antimatter.

For the last of our summer hiatus episodes, we invited our resident David Foster Wallace expert, Chris Ayers, to sit in and drop some DFW knowledge on us, which he does quite handily. There is also a conversation about the Eagles that Chris tried his best to stop, but once the tangential train gets rolling, there's no stopping it.

Be sure to check out Chris' doings:

It's pretty clear that the Coen brothers had a pretty big influence on Michael Schur, and the aesthetics of The Hudsucker Proxy in particular. On this episode, Jason and Jared discuss that influence, as well as how generally great this movie is, in their first feature-length commentary!

On this episode, Jason and Jared respond to the news that The Good Place's upcoming fourth season will also be its last. They also make some predictions as to how the show will end, which they find they can't do without talking about season 3, so if you're watching along with the podcast, know that season 3 spoilers start flying at the 24-minute mark--listen at your own peril!

In a not-quite-a-commentary episode (on the eve of the eve of our live show), Jason and Jared discuss the obvious influence of Albert Brooks' brilliant 1991 film, Defending Your Life, on The Good Place. Also, Jared comes to an identity-shattering conclusion at the end of the discussion, so be sure to stick around for that.

For all you Fork Buddies wondering whether or not Jason and Jared could spend an entire episode comparing the work of Billy Joel to the Good Place in a serious and scholarly manner, here's your answer.
