Joe came on, and his entrance music was the Jam's "In The City," which was a pleasant surprise. The next opener was comedian, and longtime Pera collaborator, Dan Licata (he played the DJ in the "Baba O'Riley" episode) who was decidedly hacky and mediocre. There were two openers, one of whom was Ryan Dunn who did the music for the show. The music playing over the PA as people were getting seated included the MC5 and the New York Dolls. Yeah - I don't want to look at his other stuff on YouTube in case he's acting out of character and it spoils the effect. ― Simon H., Monday, 25 June 2018 11:45 (one month ago) Yes, the tone is very carefully managed, as is the writing/design of "Joe Pera," the character ― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 25 June 2018 11:32 (one month ago) Or if it does, the gag itself is just as earnest.
There's a weird tension to it, too - you expect every scene to end with some cheap gag to undercut the earnestness, but it never comes. I like it a lot - it reminds me of my partner's hometown in western Ontario. ― Simon H., Monday, 25 June 2018 11:23 (one month ago) I guess saying what major recent arthouse picture it reminded me of might constitute a spoiler so I'll just say I hope it gets picked up for another season. ― Simon H., Monday, 25 June 2018 11:13 (one month ago) OK I just finished it last night and was not expecting nor was I prepared for the turn in the last episode. ― Chris L, Tuesday, 19 June 2018 07:48 (one month ago) I guess it goes to show adult swim is still willing to do something radically different, other than give a show to any woman. It’s very funny and has a tremendous amount of heart and integrity. it's somehow funny and gentle and comforting and weird all at the same time. ― Chris L, Tuesday, 19 June 2018 01:15 (one month ago) Joe Pera Talks with You is the first new show I’ve really liked in at least a year.
