Netflix IS GLOW (Alison Brie thread mk2)

by **Pace** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 1:19 pm

Don't know who Alison Brie is but I'm lookin forward to this program. GLOW was a singularly weird thing.

I don't know what netflix is or a thread is but I'm sure whatever you're talking about will be good (is it some kind of soft drink? you know what, doesn't matter)

counterpoint: this show sucks

it's fine, but frequently suffers from a barrage of "lol can you BELIEVE how crazy the 80's were amirite???" jokes

by **inanimate object...alive!** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 6:04 pm

in fact now that I think about it, approximately 80% of the humor derives from nostalgia-based faux-ridiculousness, so your opinion of the series will be directly correlated with your tolerance of that sort of thing

this is kinda not true. if you watch the actual pilot for GLOW that was produced in 1986 (it's on youtube) if anything it's even more ridiculous than this show. they actually toned it down a bit.

I thought this show was pretty authentic tho. alison brie was great and I loved how calmly they handled the abortionToggle Spoiler. I was all-in with these gorgeous ladies of wrestling by the end.

by **inanimate object...alive!** » Wed Jul 05, 2017 8:09 am

I'm on episode 5. maybe it gets less nostalgia-heavy, but the entire 2nd half of that episode was completely and nakedly "lol 80's"

by **aububs** » Wed Jul 05, 2017 8:23 am

I didn't really get "lol 80s" from that episode (I had to look it up to remind myself but it's the one where debbie bangs steel horseToggle Spoiler).

the episode where they go to the producer's house for the party, maybe?

but I'm fine with some light ribbing of the 80s.

Yeah how the fuck are you guys going to piss yourselves over "stranger things" but throw shade at this? This is easily currently in my top 3 shows after a first run through in the past 36 hours. Great stuff.

can't wait to watch this
Used to watch GLOW in he 80s on my tiny black and white tv

this was good!

by **worrywort** » Wed Jul 05, 2017 10:05 pm

the GLOW documentary that's up on netflix is pretty good too. it doesn't go too deep or dark, like beyond the mat or anything, but it's mostly breezy fun and only 75 minutes.
