How is it only in the last month or so that I'm discovering Hannah Gadsby? ("Discovering" like Columbus discovered America - she's been around for a good decade or something). She's got the most amazing spicy brains and she's cute as hell. Gotta find me a friend willing to lend me a Netflix password so I can see "Nanette". Seriously, she's awesome, how am I only just now finding this bandwagon to hop on to?

Oh! I get to be all "I liked her before it was cool"! Biyi and I saw her stand-up show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a decade ago or so. She was just in a meeting room at Melbourne City Hall. (The topic was her experience walking across England, as in from the Irish to the North Sea.) One thing I missed out on was that she used to do walking tours of the National Gallery here. (She has a degree in Art History.)

Alas, I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen Nanette yet either.

I love JtV so so so so much.

It is the Latino version of Soap, which I also loved. It's awesome.

I always thought of it as a Latina Gilmore Girls.

Ah, I didn't watch Gilmore Girls so I didn't get a connection there.

Yeah, she's got some great stuff on YouTube showing off her Spicy Art Brain.

The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.

I can see that. The Villanuevas are a lot more apt to actually work through their issues than the Gilmores though.

I am watching Schitt's Creek (Plei's fault!) and "Get through the first season, I promise it is worth it!" is a big ask, but it pays off, OMG. I am now completely fannish over it, to the point that I watched an episode of Hot Ones just because Dan Levy was the guest.

(Is it general knowledge that he and Noah Reid had downed a bottle of prosecco between them before recording David's lipsync? "More people should get tipsy at lunch!")

It's definitely the story that gets told about that scene. That and the song being the extended version and Dan not being prepared.
