The Rehearsal (2022)
Cringey and thought provoking
For reference I have not seen the majority of the similar cringey content *yet!* - Nathan For You, I Think You Should Leave, Portlandia..
But this show is funny, fascinating, wholesome, clever, cringey, and more elaborate than you can possibly imagine.
Nathan's dry affect paired with these ridiculous setups, like passing toddlers in footie pajamas through the window, or transporting his fake bar cross country, is hilarious; and yet the implications of the more serious scenarios are far more deep, emotional and thought provoking, and you just can't look away.
It is dry, weird, and slow paced, and it won't be everyones cup of tea, but I've found myself thinking about it many times since watching, it's worth a watch!
Alien Xmas (2020)
Sweet, silly, optimal length, well animated!
This movie has VERY distinct bits and pieces of the plot copied from other Christmas movies - I easily recognized things from Polar Express and Dr. Seuss Grinch, plus others. For some people this ^ may just feel super boring or cliche, but the stop-motion was awesome, and the concept was just original enough, so the mirroring of other classics was almost charming actually, not lame.
Nice average addition to throw on the seasonal Short/Special watch-list along with Peanuts, Dr. Seuss Grinch, etc.
Virtually no mention of any religious Christmas themes (jesus birthday, nativity scene, etc).
