The show isn't meant to argue with the tangibility of the topics being discussed, the Duncan Trussel hour....he just wants these people to speak unfiltered because he is curious. It's not about questioning these people like a detective, it's about hearing about their point of view. It's just a fascinating way of going about learning about people and seeing if we can apply some of their obscure ideals to our own lives. Many of them have some pretty great stuff to stay about life, despite if we fully believe in all of what they believe. I'm agnostic and borderline atheist myself, but I find the athiest community to be kind of arrogant with that kind of thing at times.
True. Of course I don't appreciate it when people, such as many Christian people, basically force you to believe something, but I don't think the people in the show are trying to do that. They're just giving us an insight into what their spirituality and philosophy looks like. And I do enjoy a lot of what they had to teach. If you can look past the deity or mystical aspects, what they teach about life is actually quite interesting and useful in many ways. If Duncan did nothing but question these people, that's what the show would be about: the questioning, not the thought provoking topics.
Exactly! The people aren't discussing what's right and wrong, they're just sharing what they believe, and Duncan just listens, and I tbh think that's how society should be
I agree. I can definitely see how mainstream religious values can create such an allergic reaction against all things spiritual/mystical especially for those who have broken away from those traditions. We also can’t forget that Truth can be held hostage by scientific rationalism just as much as any religious dogma, or any dogmatic believes in general. If we close our minds to something simply bc it reminds us of our trauma we are no better than the ppl who forced their beliefs on us in the first place.
Yes! To truly listen to people, sometimes you just have to take their premises as given for a while. Then you can go back to seeing the world your own way. It's a much kinder way of interacting and people express their appreciation for it because it's so rare
I envy you. To me it just reduced to a headache and confusion, I couldn't follow how the animation showed us a perspective of what is death, whilst also focusing on what these characters were talking about. I guess I'm just not quite into this sort of topics like religion or philosophy or life itself. Well, I am! But not enough to watch a show about this. Really, I wish I have felt more emotions while watching this like you. Consider yourself fortunate, not everyone has your kind of appreciation sense
John S. Butler the fact that Duncan’s mother died about 3 weeks after the podcast is what really gets me. It wasn’t religious, it was the philosophy of death and someone in a constant state of the edge of death. It just really hits me.
@@SeriouslySeriousGrim it really made me thing, one day the people i love ARE gonna die, and so am I, so what am I going to do to make their time here and memory of the world better, it also taught me that we are all going through it and most of the topics they brought up were true
The visuals do play a role into what was being said though. A clear cut example of this was episode 5, where the prisoner was stuck in a bardo loop, which is what they talked about. The prisoner suffered from the karma of his experience and only moved out of that cycle once they woke up. It isnt literal in its relation and that's part of the charm, but because it isn't obvious most people are gonna miss this
She mentions this later in her review. She initially didn't notice the the visual story connected to the podcast thematically, but did so in a second viewing.
They're not forcing you to believe in what they're talking about. Duncan provided a platform for people to talk about what they believe in, and it's good food for thought to people with open minds. I watched the whole season on tabs with some friends, beautiful experience.
I feel like Trussel just wanted to hear what his guests had to say about everything as opposed to a discussion, like the whole atheist and science thing is understandable but I moreso just took the interviews as an experience not only for Duncan but also for the viewer as well, just out of curiosity and interest for their points of view
as a trans masculine person who’s lost their mom... I’ve watched that last episode about 50 times, and cry every time. It was a piece of media that came when I needed it, and I could never express the love I have towards it that it deserves.
@@maroonweaboo if you learn to hate yourself more from LSD, you have a lot of self improvement to do. Perhaps you were taking it for the wrong reason. LSD saved my life and kept me from self-destruction.
Well put! The show's like being on psychedelics. Most of your senses get flooded with information. It's hard to keep track of but for some reason it all makes sense in some way.
i love some of the points you were making in it, and agreed with some of them, but one of the more beautiful things about this show is the non disputed topics. Most of the topics being discussed are by people who have dedicated their lives to being more open minded and learning more about their field of study, along with Duncan Trussell. The reason i believe that the dont offer a rebuttal, is because they are making good educated points based on years of study, and Duncan is wanting to learn more about those fields, being more inexperienced than the guest he is chatting with.
The mother episode... I've watched it twice. The second time I teared up more than the first. Definitely the best of the bunch. Which makes sense, i imagine it's the most personal. Thank you for this video. Love your channel. Congrats on your graduation. I think your writing for TV and movies course has paid off. You're videos are getting better, compared to your earlier videos from 2 years ago. Keep them coming!
Good review! Although, I feel like even though you are an atheist you should be able to listen to someone's point of view on spirituality without you beliefs being present.
Absolutely agree. Especially Damien Echol’s interview, there is so much to gain from listening to his experiences. Hearing someone who has gone through what he has speak with such inner peace was so meaningful.
AJA yeah I thought that was such a weird comment. You’re really such an atheist that you can’t handle people just talk about their religion without a “counterpoint” being offered? How must you be with the religious people in your own life?
@@sealthrux I hope some day you'll realise writing off others' beliefs as sky farts is the wrong way to go through life. Be more open, listen and learn :)
Symbolism, the animation all though not entirely tied to the conversations every one seems to miss the constant symbolism. Almost all of the animation correlates with what's goin on in the episodes if you look for all the symbolism
Thank You! The symbolism is one of the main aspects which elevates the show from good to spectacular! It ties it all together to provide a more impactful message.
The more you learn the less you know. When you begin understand more of the science of the world it gets pretty nihilistic and existential. These kind of ideas can at least give a bit of comfort, or help bridge the gaps of other systems of belief.
If you don't know anything about DMT, spirituality, philosophy, open mindedness, meditation, mindfulness, the death of the ego, awareness, buddhism, new research on consciousness, enlightenment, psychedelics etc. Then you will think this show is just weird and for stoners. You won't understand what's going on. If you do know these topics and look into them with an open mind. Then. You will know this show is fucking gold.
Haven’t watched this video yet, but going to say immediately, extremely weird and pure genius are in no way mutually exclusive. In fact, I’d go as far as to say the two complement each other in certain situations
me and my bf stared watching this show after eating an edible not knowing what we were getting into and MAN do i NOT regret it. it was such a trip and honestly one of favorite non mainstream pieces of media
and that's why I became a agnostic, I'm willing to listen to people's take in the universe without shoving my opinion down someone's throat right away, one of the episodes said listening was important to the self, for learning, and so on. Trust me, I'm still learning how to listen more effectively
His real ridiculous name? Just because you have a thought that comes into your head, doesn't make it witty or remarkable. The show is extremely weird and pure genius so from the start you're just wrong.
I'm so glad that even weird, obscure, and even somewhat controversial shows like this are able to get a platform like this. I quite like Midnight Gospel but it is very weird I'll admit.
This show filled me with great curiosity and a better understanding of the world. In all honesty it was therapeutic and had many ideas being presented without any pushy beliefs. Just people sharing their experiences and their opinions on life....And I love that so much. I just wish life was like this....where you can share your beliefs without arguments, understanding both sides to a coin. I wish there was more teenagers that wanted to learn and grow from the lessons and mistakes from older adults. Accepting things the way they're not how they should be. This show gave me laughter, sadness and inner peace.
i binged these episodes as they were amazing. i loved duncan’s interviewing style and how interested he was with everything everyone had to say. it was refreshing to see someone so open. And the visuals, they were great! for me I had no trouble keeping up with the dialogue and visuals. in fact i think they complimented each other. Overall the show was just really soothing, and gave me a chance to just listen and enjoy. and of course i cried at the last episode.
There is A LOT of symbolism in the animation you just have to pay attention and that’s why watching it multiple times gives you so much more point of view. Just the 5th episode itself has a truckload of symbolism in just the animation not including the dialogue. But also this show is a different experience for everyone because we’re all at different stages in our life and I really think that effects the way you absorb some of the messages/info. Some people will benefit a ton from this show and others won’t understand it and that’s okay. I’ve watched it a few times now and now I’m just trying to see it from other people’s perspectives to see if I missed anything els.
Honestly you might need to think about how much you depend on logic to process the world, and how that might dictate the way you analyze surrealist media. Surrealism always has a ring of truth to it, and it's often through a lens of confusion to emphasize how disorienting reality is. To quote Frida Kahlo about her artwork, "I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality."
i really loved the show ♡ I understand your points about being an atheist and favouring science and empicial evidence over what some of the guests talked about matter of factly (I too find it hard to believe in a higher power) but as I'm an atheist too and I wanted to share that I've found people's individual interpretation of God / religion / magick more interesting than what a lot of stuff preaches about religion - especially in a philosophical/personal discussion like the Midnight Gospel expresses. Regardless of where they are coming from, a lot of them revolve around death, existence and mindfullness which I think we can all relate/empathize/understand/learn to understand. With the animation, i found it so beautiful and kinda fun to get lost in the surrealism. My partner found it hard to follow while watching it with me but I found it so nice to just kinda focus on one story line while hearing another - it was kinda like the A 'plot' (the podcast) was parallel with the B plot (the animation/clancy's experience) as opposed to cutting back and forth between the two like a lot of shoes do. I think it reminded me of those animatics fans make for podcasts/media which is why i loved it so much. I'm also intrigued if they're gonna continue the story with clancy... they left it kinda of open for it to be a limited series or to be continued. And yeah, the last episode made me cry too :') Anyway - great video ☺i'm glad to see folks like u review this show!! keep up the good work!
Yeah I'm also an atheist and really liked the show as well. I'm a big fan of surrealist/psychedelic animation, and really like hearing new ideas. I think most of the philosophies and concepts talked about can be applied to how you view your life and the universe, without having to believe in a higher power or the supernatural (except for maybe the magick thing, but it was still interesting to hear about). And the last episode was so precious and sad indeed.
The last episode was pre recorded well before midnight gospel was planned. It was an interview Duncan did with his mother before she died from cancer. Knowing that, it makes that episode more special. Thats why she never calls him Clancy.
Can't believe there's so little comments versus the views. This show and channel are pretty good. Hope for more. To the show itself. I think it does something different and can work better if given more episodes.
somethings that you didn't address is how the guest often go against what they talk about in their actions, like the fish man who talks about bettering himself but ruined someone's marriage to latter get into a needless fight with him that destroys his planet, or the knight Trudy who talks about forgiveness yet the entire episode it's about her getting revenge and killing someone
I think it's to represent a similar idea as how Clancy neglects his daily life in his search for enlightenment. Having interesting ideas and insight doesn't help you if you don't try to incorporate them into your habits and behavior.
Damn, great video! I've been trying to tie the whole thing together in my head for like a week now and you've just made all the pieces fall into place.
Being atheist doesn’t mean you need to be close minded. Most of the topics aren’t about how you should believe in there religion. It’s more about how these religions have affected there lives. Just listen that’s what the show is about.
This show was such a pleasant, trippy, enjoyable surprise for me. I cry every time I watch the episode of him and his late mother. Makes me miss my mom but it's very therapeutic.
I watched it on Mushrooms and have shown it to many of my friends on their first trips, almost all of them tell me to this day how impactful it was to their lives
The juxtaposition of the seemingly "unrelated visually-driven stories making it difficult to follow either element" seems to me to BE THE point Midnight Gospel is making. "I often found my mind wandering between the animation and the conversation, ultimately leading to me missing most of what was happening in either part." And isn't that the profound bare truth of life itself? We all miss most of what is really happening or matters because we are constantly being bombarded by distractions that shift our focus from our core experiences. Hence we all find our minds wandering between the animation (the superficial aspect of life, the universe, and everything) and the conversation (the deepest most meaningful aspects and facets of life, living, and the human experience), ultimately leading to our missing most of what was happening in either part. Anything that makes you think, wonder, and ponder is good mind fuel.
As far as duncan and the episode with his mom calling him duncan she has passed away and couldn’t make a new part with her reacting to a name correction is my guess.
As an atheist/agnostic myself, I do take a bit of issue with your comment on the lack of discussion of atheism. The show basically exists for the purpose of exposing viewers to new beliefs they may not have encountered before: it's not putting ANY of the worldviews into question, just listening to the variety of perspectives on offer. And that said, the spiritual beliefs they talk about DO come from all over. We encounter Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Magick, and Tarot beliefs in the podcast discussion, not to mention the piles of imagery in the background from those, as well as Greek, Egyptian, and other mythologies. The first episode is a pretty-much secular discussion of drugs and their effects, with relatively little mention of supernatural topics. Since atheism isn't a system of belief, it's unsurprising that there's no dedicated atheist episode; its only purpose would be to debate or refute the positions of the other thinkers, which would go against the peaceable spirit of the show. And that said, just because they're discussing spiritual stuff doesn't mean they necessarily believe in anything supernatural; even in the "Magick" episode, and especially in the several Buddhism episodes, the focus is really on the characters' internal psychological states. In a sense these "spiritualities" are really just methods of doing psychology that lie outside of the modern Western paradigm. I'd say it would be a pretty naïve view to think that nobody besides educated Westerners of the past 100 years have discovered anything useful about the mind, when a far greater share of the intellectual effort in many (especially Buddhist) countries has been on understanding the mind. Just because they come from another culture, and use different vocabulary, does not necessarily mean they come from anything irrational or unscientific. India's logical tradition predates the West's, and arguably their science was better-developed than the West's for the majority of history up until the Renaissance. This whole time, the mind was one of the main topics of discussion for Buddhists and Hindus alike; their taxonomy of the mind was deep, logical, and rigorous, and was studied by both religious and non-religious scholars. Remember that the word "Psychology" itself means "study of the soul", and began in the West with centuries of Pagan and Christian religious thought, having only become secularized by the work of Freud and Jung and their followers. In fact, completely non-supernatural psychology is very much the historical exception, so it's unsurprising that a show *about* spirituality/psychology would have predominantly religious guests.
I totally agree with you that this show isn't something to binge watch because they're so much to it. I probably would watch this again when I get older. Because I guess my experiences in life would definitely change me and help understand somethings that went pass my head.
As an a staunch atheist myself, I loved the shows take on spirituality. To me, they werent being 'confident in defining what spirituality is' so much as just excited in expressing their experience of it. I think the shows surrealism appeals more to the psychonaut attitude of not taking things too literally.
The Midnight Gospel is not for watching only once. I specially enjoy the concept that the discussions topics are not linked with the their surrounding. I find it a way to show even more, that everything happening around us should not be so relevant for our inner happiness. Anyway, i think even without video, you cannot got all only by listening to it once. It's almost like each sentence need a meditating seance to think about it .
Certainly didn't stop Clancy :) Just buy a mic, ask around to find people who'd be down to chat, and find a site to post your series. Your audience will find you with time. Especially if you make the podcast something all your own. People appreciate unique, no matter what form its in. The Midnight Gospel in general is a pretty good indicator of that lmao.
Me to I'm getting into podcasting but I wish there was more people I could randomly meet and talk to about whatever the heck we want. Even share different opinions and ideals without arguing.
@@blackrosesthorn9451 that's true. Clancy has such a loveable extroverted attitude about him. He just walks over and is like hey could I talk to you for little? And it always works out lol
Tbh, this is probably one of my favorite shows I’ve ever watched...BUT my mom showed me movies like Yellow Submarine, The Last Unicorn, and Heavy Metal WAAAAAAY too early, so that might just be a fucked up childhood thing. It also helps that I have ADD and my brain already goes a million miles a minute, so I absorbed both the podcasters and the cartoon at once. Mostly, I loved this show because Clancy reminds me so much of myself. I’m not as irresponsible, but I am a 25 year old stoner just barely about to graduate from college... I relate to his desire to run from problems, to seek out mysteries so you don’t have to deal with reality. Especially the entire issue with the simulator nearly exploding because Clancy won’t deal with it, I tend to let problems sit until the last possible moment while I avoid it with other things. The mediation episode really effected me as well because it reflected how my desire to be laid back hides a lot of frustration and inner anger. I would recommend this show to anyone who loves the wonderfully weird side of animation. My hands down favorite episode is Damien Echols’ interview, I’m not very spiritual but being able to hear someone who has gone through what he has speaking with such gentleness and inner peace really got me!
This show was made for me. I was an atheist/agnostic...around 20 yrs old i did intravenous ketamine. The experience was terrifying. During the experience i became convinced i was dead. In the experience it felt like it lasted for days but when it was over i had been out for about an hour. I was healthy and fine physically but i spent the next few hrs with my jaw hanging open for several hours....i couldn't make complete words. A few days later i hopped a bus from Buffalo to about middle coast California to try living with my father a bit. I was givin a copy of the Bardo Theodol
I find this show to be extremely strange, I need to watch it again. Last episode was so emotional, didn’t this I would cry watching a strange cartoon, but the other episodes ... I couldn’t concentrate with all the shit going around, can someone explain it, was it done purposely like she was saying, what’s up with all that gone? Sometime I didn’t want to watch just listen .
This show quite litterly changed my life the spiritual messages this show has once fully understood have permanently changed my views on life for the better every time i rewatch this show i find something i didn't notice before and i understand the message clearer i was an atheist before but this show changed that its brilliant absolutely brilliant!
That last episode absolutely destroyed me. In fact, I have a tough time even thinking about it but I do think about it a lot. Such a fascinating and bizarre show. I'm with you, I don't know if I can say that I liked it but it's an experience I don't regret having.
I'm starting to think that you should watch the show again with an open mind about the spirituality. They're not telling you what's true, they're giving you a perspective- many perspectives to grasp the concept that is reality. It's up to you to interpret that information, and you shouldn't feel frustrated by the information just because you yourself aren't spiritual. I was an atheist before I was a spiritual practitioner.
science... spirituality is the science of experience. We need to move from the reductionist materialistic methodology of the academical theocracy and integrate the anima that we all have whether you like it or not. Yes, the measurement of the material world brings technological wonders that we can feel and see with our senses but never forget that your mind can experience things that cannot be measured with a ruler.
I love this show it’s beautiful and so well-thought out, smart and philosophical. I love that it is a platform for all kinds of povs and allows our amazing minds and thoughts to be showcased for we are all so different and that’s the most beautiful thing about our world !
My only complaint about The Midnight Gospel is that, in some episodes, what is happening onscreen (the plot of the episode) is so absurd and bizarre, that it takes you away from the actual podcast. Aside from that, I really enjoyed it.
Very interesting point of view ! That's what I love about humans, we all have such a unique experience with everything! Even though you are not into surrealism, I'm glad you gave the show a chance 😊wish you a great weekend!!🌌
The thing about your "Science" and "reasoning" is, it _Ignores_ the science behind the Spiritual Realm in favor of its reductionist theories. The issue with reductionism is you're not actually analyzing it for what it is, you're simply reducing it to its simplest form. Atheism is rarely a position one finds themselves in after a lot of introspection but rather a default position hoisted onto most of us because of a myopic teaching regimen that promotes Masculine thinking patterns over a whole-brain thinking. The Right side of the Brain is the Feminine half but gets ignored/overlooked entirely in favor of the Reductionist "Hard Logic" Left half, which is our masculine selves/energy. I'm not here to tell you you're wrong about your Theological viewpoint, just that if you want a counterpoint to it from the science perspective, please by all means bring someone on who is willing to actually DISCUSS said topics without doing, as you are doing, and dismissing them on the surface of it as "Woowoo". Not to say you're necessarily using that term, but I can feel the emotional dismissal in your presentation of it. Of course they accept it as True and Real, we've actually STUDIED IT FOR OURSELVES. Without needing an Authority figure to comes from on high and bless us all with the "Magic of Science" which gives you The Big Bang Theory and says "Give us this one Miracle and we'll explain the rest." Which really, is no different than the position of most Religions. Scientism is the Modern Variant of Religiosity. What infuriates me when I hear a self avowed Atheist is hearing them go on endlessly about "Science" without ever once investigating the Science behind Spirituality. Russian Scientists have demonstrated that Life will create itself within Hermetically sealed Jars. The Universe Produces Life as a natural function of it's existence. There are countless threads of evidence in Nature to discover the Truth of our Universe, Scientism is one of the weakest forms we have, despite how strongly we cling to it. The Universe clings to Novelty, the corner stone of Science is 100% Reproduceability, but the issue in that lies in the nature of how our Thoughts, our Mind, our desires and our Expectations affect the end result of an experiment. Science believes those factors are 100% irrelevant and so _never_ accounts for those as variables. The Lunacy of which is palpable. The fact that some of the most prominent scientific theories are _literally_ called "Dogma" should be questioned by most of you and yet most of you self avow yourselves as Atheist. I don't understand y'all one lick.
It is creative in a very weird way. I find it very difficult to listen and understand. I feel if I concentrate on watching, I don’t listen to what is going on. It also makes me dizzy and my eyes feel tired and weird.
Thanks for making this! Since the show is so fresh, any commentary on it I can find is appreciated. I'm glad you mentioned your atheism too, and how that affected your experience with the show - I took the talk of higher powers for granted, but you're right, it is an assumed force here. I was raised evangelical, right-wing Christian, which tends to be very strict and ultimately very shallow; when I had the freedom to explore OUTSIDE of that (it turns out, very small) bubble, I found so much beautiful thinking and beautiful Christian theology through the ages. The Midnight Gospel also gave me a tour of beautiful thinking and made me want to approach and embrace the concept of death and loss, but with a brave spirit. What other cartoon has done that for me?
This is an amazing show no matter who you are, it helped me open my eyes and realize the world around me. It’s almost like meditation. Hilarious meditation. Not only did it help open my eyes and see the bigger picture, but it also helped me Reject False Icons, a Gorillaz reference. It showed me that we are a celebrity run world and that we should start thinking for ourselves. It talks deep and realize that whatever small issue we have, it is very insignificant compared to a lot more than that.
i found this binged watched all of it in the middle of the night then had an extistental crissis at 4 am but that put it at the top of my list for show recomendations
I feel like you're missing the point if the show I am an atheist Buddhist and I loved the show because it wasn't an argument because it was just people talking about their life we spent too much time looking for an argument, a rebuttal or even flaws in someone else's thinking when we should be doing it's listening introspectively and respecting others
I completly agree with your review. Specially with the spirituality part. They just take it as fact all the time, 0 pushback on these dumb old ideas of magic and shit
Get stoned or take some acid is what it is designed for but I have done that in the past but lved it for its madness and deep conversations but the stuff in between was funny. But that last episode was amazing and what his mum said about death will live with me forever
Hear me out.....have to watch high....its like watching 4 episode in one. Sober i had to see the episodes over and over but high ( saw 1,2, and 3) dang it was incredible i could see the pod cast.could see them just talking could see the animation and would snap out of it when something they where talking about would actually happen in the show. Like it was saying hey remember yes this doesn't make sense but dose as well. Like when the fish was trying to bargain for cats it all became one show again then the pod cast began again and boom 4 shows. Sorry of you read this and i waisted your time....dislike ;_;
no one has ever made a 6/10 sound so good ( I personally enjoyed the show in its entirety but some great points were made here both for and against it ) Great work here
Good recognization of the yellow submarine animation simularuties , but nothing can ever be the submarine on crack in my opinion , it’s still better in my opinion
The violence in the cartoon is too extreme and edgy for me, especially when I turned on my 'serious mode' in my brain when I'm trying to listen to the interview.
Great video, and I agree for the most part, except everything shown was related to what was being said. It is true you get lost in one or the other when the detail and depth of both spike, but they were vaguely related. The elephants things about to die and a nation of anarchy as they spoke of death, his mother and him aging and taking care of each other as they tackled death and family care and concerns, especially clancey starting as a baby because thats where their ocnversation began. The talk with death i felt tried a little too hard to be direct with the visual relation and just ended up having a lot of weird related side stories, while i feel the fish bowl head guy had the most unrelated visual to conversation relation. Idk tell me what you think but for the most part the conversations aligned with the topics is what im saying
"It's a show where you watch one episode at a time and then sit and think about what you watched." Naw. Do some shrooms or acid and just let this play.
I love the show alot mainly because I'm a big fan of Adventure Time and seeing this series is like step up from cartoon into like some conversation with other people. Nonetheless, loving it.
Its perspective thing I suppose your going to turn to wat will offer peace of mind and rebuttal something some one believes doesn't help if you don't understand what got them there. See 8f any of it can help though rough times. Cool video tho
The show isn't meant to argue with the tangibility of the topics being discussed, the Duncan Trussel hour....he just wants these people to speak unfiltered because he is curious. It's not about questioning these people like a detective, it's about hearing about their point of view. It's just a fascinating way of going about learning about people and seeing if we can apply some of their obscure ideals to our own lives. Many of them have some pretty great stuff to stay about life, despite if we fully believe in all of what they believe. I'm agnostic and borderline atheist myself, but I find the athiest community to be kind of arrogant with that kind of thing at times.
True. Of course I don't appreciate it when people, such as many Christian people, basically force you to believe something, but I don't think the people in the show are trying to do that. They're just giving us an insight into what their spirituality and philosophy looks like. And I do enjoy a lot of what they had to teach. If you can look past the deity or mystical aspects, what they teach about life is actually quite interesting and useful in many ways. If Duncan did nothing but question these people, that's what the show would be about: the questioning, not the thought provoking topics.
Exactly! The people aren't discussing what's right and wrong, they're just sharing what they believe, and Duncan just listens, and I tbh think that's how society should be
@@DJDipstick if only...
I agree. I can definitely see how mainstream religious values can create such an allergic reaction against all things spiritual/mystical especially for those who have broken away from those traditions. We also can’t forget that Truth can be held hostage by scientific rationalism just as much as any religious dogma, or any dogmatic believes in general. If we close our minds to something simply bc it reminds us of our trauma we are no better than the ppl who forced their beliefs on us in the first place.
Yes! To truly listen to people, sometimes you just have to take their premises as given for a while. Then you can go back to seeing the world your own way. It's a much kinder way of interacting and people express their appreciation for it because it's so rare
The final episode reduced me to a puddle of tears.
Im here with u bud
I envy you. To me it just reduced to a headache and confusion, I couldn't follow how the animation showed us a perspective of what is death, whilst also focusing on what these characters were talking about. I guess I'm just not quite into this sort of topics like religion or philosophy or life itself. Well, I am! But not enough to watch a show about this. Really, I wish I have felt more emotions while watching this like you. Consider yourself fortunate, not everyone has your kind of appreciation sense
You just gotta watch it twice itll help if u focus on either the visual story or the vocal.
John S. Butler the fact that Duncan’s mother died about 3 weeks after the podcast is what really gets me. It wasn’t religious, it was the philosophy of death and someone in a constant state of the edge of death. It just really hits me.
@@SeriouslySeriousGrim it really made me thing, one day the people i love ARE gonna die, and so am I, so what am I going to do to make their time here and memory of the world better, it also taught me that we are all going through it and most of the topics they brought up were true
The visuals do play a role into what was being said though. A clear cut example of this was episode 5, where the prisoner was stuck in a bardo loop, which is what they talked about. The prisoner suffered from the karma of his experience and only moved out of that cycle once they woke up. It isnt literal in its relation and that's part of the charm, but because it isn't obvious most people are gonna miss this
Yea. You really have to think about it and read between the lines.
This was my favorite episode
She mentions this later in her review. She initially didn't notice the the visual story connected to the podcast thematically, but did so in a second viewing.
They're not forcing you to believe in what they're talking about. Duncan provided a platform for people to talk about what they believe in, and it's good food for thought to people with open minds. I watched the whole season on tabs with some friends, beautiful experience.
I feel like Trussel just wanted to hear what his guests had to say about everything as opposed to a discussion, like the whole atheist and science thing is understandable but I moreso just took the interviews as an experience not only for Duncan but also for the viewer as well, just out of curiosity and interest for their points of view

"This is NOT a show you can binge watch"
Me who finished it with my bff in one day: *ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME?*
as a trans masculine person who’s lost their mom... I’ve watched that last episode about 50 times, and cry every time. It was a piece of media that came when I needed it, and I could never express the love I have towards it that it deserves.
What does you being trans have anything to do with it
I like Surrealism. It's like LSD without the side-effects.
The side effects are the best part 😂😂
Guess you've never done lsd lmao
@@apollo1573 As in feeling mentally "defragmented" after your experience?
@@KarlSnarks yeah, I *LOVE* the existential crisis and increasing self hatred after my LSD!
@@maroonweaboo if you learn to hate yourself more from LSD, you have a lot of self improvement to do. Perhaps you were taking it for the wrong reason. LSD saved my life and kept me from self-destruction.
Well put! The show's like being on psychedelics. Most of your senses get flooded with information. It's hard to keep track of but for some reason it all makes sense in some way.
i love some of the points you were making in it, and agreed with some of them, but one of the more beautiful things about this show is the non disputed topics. Most of the topics being discussed are by people who have dedicated their lives to being more open minded and learning more about their field of study, along with Duncan Trussell. The reason i believe that the dont offer a rebuttal, is because they are making good educated points based on years of study, and Duncan is wanting to learn more about those fields, being more inexperienced than the guest he is chatting with.
The mother episode... I've watched it twice. The second time I teared up more than the first. Definitely the best of the bunch. Which makes sense, i imagine it's the most personal. Thank you for this video. Love your channel. Congrats on your graduation. I think your writing for TV and movies course has paid off. You're videos are getting better, compared to your earlier videos from 2 years ago. Keep them coming!
Good review! Although, I feel like even though you are an atheist you should be able to listen to someone's point of view on spirituality without you beliefs being present.
Absolutely agree. Especially Damien Echol’s interview, there is so much to gain from listening to his experiences. Hearing someone who has gone through what he has speak with such inner peace was so meaningful.
AJA yeah I thought that was such a weird comment. You’re really such an atheist that you can’t handle people just talk about their religion without a “counterpoint” being offered? How must you be with the religious people in your own life?
Be quiet sky fart
@@sealthrux I hope some day you'll realise writing off others' beliefs as sky farts is the wrong way to go through life. Be more open, listen and learn :)
.
Symbolism, the animation all though not entirely tied to the conversations every one seems to miss the constant symbolism. Almost all of the animation correlates with what's goin on in the episodes if you look for all the symbolism
Thank You! The symbolism is one of the main aspects which elevates the show from good to spectacular! It ties it all together to provide a more impactful message.
The whole show is pure genius and practically launched a new genre for animation.
Podcast matching animation...a lot of possibilities,not only surreal stories but all kinds of stories with a deep comversation going on
I just watched this too such a weird series and the heavy philosophical elements made it very interesting.
The more you learn the less you know. When you begin understand more of the science of the world it gets pretty nihilistic and existential. These kind of ideas can at least give a bit of comfort, or help bridge the gaps of other systems of belief.
If you don't know anything about DMT, spirituality, philosophy, open mindedness, meditation, mindfulness, the death of the ego, awareness, buddhism, new research on consciousness, enlightenment, psychedelics etc.
Then you will think this show is just weird and for stoners. You won't understand what's going on.
If you do know these topics and look into them with an open mind.
Then.
You will know this show is fucking gold.
Haven’t watched this video yet, but going to say immediately, extremely weird and pure genius are in no way mutually exclusive. In fact, I’d go as far as to say the two complement each other in certain situations
me and my bf stared watching this show after eating an edible not knowing what we were getting into and MAN do i NOT regret it. it was such a trip and honestly one of favorite non mainstream pieces of media
and that's why I became a agnostic, I'm willing to listen to people's take in the universe without shoving my opinion down someone's throat right away, one of the episodes said listening was important to the self, for learning, and so on. Trust me, I'm still learning how to listen more effectively
His real ridiculous name? Just because you have a thought that comes into your head, doesn't make it witty or remarkable. The show is extremely weird and pure genius so from the start you're just wrong.
This is just a beautiful show
Acid embodied. The music is heartwarming to sucks u right into the show
I'm so glad that even weird, obscure, and even somewhat controversial shows like this are able to get a platform like this. I quite like Midnight Gospel but it is very weird I'll admit.
This show filled me with great curiosity and a better understanding of the world. In all honesty it was therapeutic and had many ideas being presented without any pushy beliefs. Just people sharing their experiences and their opinions on life....And I love that so much. I just wish life was like this....where you can share your beliefs without arguments, understanding both sides to a coin. I wish there was more teenagers that wanted to learn and grow from the lessons and mistakes from older adults. Accepting things the way they're not how they should be. This show gave me laughter, sadness and inner peace.
i binged these episodes as they were amazing. i loved duncan’s interviewing style and how interested he was with everything everyone had to say. it was refreshing to see someone so open.
And the visuals, they were great! for me I had no trouble keeping up with the dialogue and visuals. in fact i think they complimented each other.
Overall the show was just really soothing, and gave me a chance to just listen and enjoy.
and of course i cried at the last episode.
There is A LOT of symbolism in the animation you just have to pay attention and that’s why watching it multiple times gives you so much more point of view. Just the 5th episode itself has a truckload of symbolism in just the animation not including the dialogue. But also this show is a different experience for everyone because we’re all at different stages in our life and I really think that effects the way you absorb some of the messages/info. Some people will benefit a ton from this show and others won’t understand it and that’s okay. I’ve watched it a few times now and now I’m just trying to see it from other people’s perspectives to see if I missed anything els.
Someone needs to experience ego death.....
oh, my god! i love you for this!!
That episode was sad I hate loving that one 🤧
Bada bing Bada boom
Honestly you might need to think about how much you depend on logic to process the world, and how that might dictate the way you analyze surrealist media. Surrealism always has a ring of truth to it, and it's often through a lens of confusion to emphasize how disorienting reality is.
To quote Frida Kahlo about her artwork, "I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality."
You should try opening your mind sometime.
You should try not believing in sky farts
ua-cam.com/video/T69TOuqaqXI/v-deo.html
Imagine jabbing at a person who can’t be corrected because they’re dead. You’re so insensitive.
i really loved the show ♡ I understand your points about being an atheist and favouring science and empicial evidence over what some of the guests talked about matter of factly (I too find it hard to believe in a higher power) but as I'm an atheist too and I wanted to share that I've found people's individual interpretation of God / religion / magick more interesting than what a lot of stuff preaches about religion - especially in a philosophical/personal discussion like the Midnight Gospel expresses. Regardless of where they are coming from, a lot of them revolve around death, existence and mindfullness which I think we can all relate/empathize/understand/learn to understand.
With the animation, i found it so beautiful and kinda fun to get lost in the surrealism. My partner found it hard to follow while watching it with me but I found it so nice to just kinda focus on one story line while hearing another - it was kinda like the A 'plot' (the podcast) was parallel with the B plot (the animation/clancy's experience) as opposed to cutting back and forth between the two like a lot of shoes do. I think it reminded me of those animatics fans make for podcasts/media which is why i loved it so much. I'm also intrigued if they're gonna continue the story with clancy... they left it kinda of open for it to be a limited series or to be continued.
And yeah, the last episode made me cry too :')
Anyway - great video ☺i'm glad to see folks like u review this show!! keep up the good work!
Yeah I'm also an atheist and really liked the show as well. I'm a big fan of surrealist/psychedelic animation, and really like hearing new ideas. I think most of the philosophies and concepts talked about can be applied to how you view your life and the universe, without having to believe in a higher power or the supernatural (except for maybe the magick thing, but it was still interesting to hear about). And the last episode was so precious and sad indeed.
The last episode was pre recorded well before midnight gospel was planned. It was an interview Duncan did with his mother before she died from cancer. Knowing that, it makes that episode more special. Thats why she never calls him Clancy.
Can't believe there's so little comments versus the views. This show and channel are pretty good. Hope for more. To the show itself. I think it does something different and can work better if given more episodes.
somethings that you didn't address is how the guest often go against what they talk about in their actions, like the fish man who talks about bettering himself but ruined someone's marriage to latter get into a needless fight with him that destroys his planet, or the knight Trudy who talks about forgiveness yet the entire episode it's about her getting revenge and killing someone
HowdyImHowdy she was just trying to save her bf from his bootay
Trudy Trudy Trudy!
I think it's to represent a similar idea as how Clancy neglects his daily life in his search for enlightenment. Having interesting ideas and insight doesn't help you if you don't try to incorporate them into your habits and behavior.
The visuals are literally the embodiment of the conversation i binged it because i was mad fuckin high it really helps
Damn, great video!
I've been trying to tie the whole thing together in my head for like a week now and you've just made all the pieces fall into place.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Please subscribe if you haven't.
Personally I think it’s hella lazy to call something strange and weird as “on crack” 🙄
psychedelic may be a more appropriate description.. unfortunately the author just hasnt experienced it
Being atheist doesn’t mean you need to be close minded. Most of the topics aren’t about how you should believe in there religion. It’s more about how these religions have affected there lives. Just listen that’s what the show is about.
This show was such a pleasant, trippy, enjoyable surprise for me. I cry every time I watch the episode of him and his late mother. Makes me miss my mom but it's very therapeutic.
I binged this show off 3 tabs of acid and it was a pivotal experience in my life.
I watched it on Mushrooms and have shown it to many of my friends on their first trips, almost all of them tell me to this day how impactful it was to their lives
The Simpsons was junior high, Bojack Horseman was college. And The Midnight Gospel is freaking post-doc shit!
Okay but do you know which wobbles to keep away from
I know i definitely don't want to chill out in the tan wobble!
Why can't it be extremely weird genius?
It can. It is.
Yes
The juxtaposition of the seemingly "unrelated visually-driven stories making it difficult to follow either element" seems to me to BE THE point Midnight Gospel is making.
"I often found my mind wandering between the animation and the conversation, ultimately leading to me missing most of what was happening in either part."
And isn't that the profound bare truth of life itself? We all miss most of what is really happening or matters because we are constantly being bombarded by distractions that shift our focus from our core experiences.
Hence we all find our minds wandering between the animation (the superficial aspect of life, the universe, and everything) and the conversation (the deepest most meaningful aspects and facets of life, living, and the human experience), ultimately leading to our missing most of what was happening in either part.
Anything that makes you think, wonder, and ponder is good mind fuel.
Yes! This point!!!
As far as duncan and the episode with his mom calling him duncan she has passed away and couldn’t make a new part with her reacting to a name correction is my guess.
But not ever person reacts to the correction. They could have added it but they chose not to
As an atheist/agnostic myself, I do take a bit of issue with your comment on the lack of discussion of atheism. The show basically exists for the purpose of exposing viewers to new beliefs they may not have encountered before: it's not putting ANY of the worldviews into question, just listening to the variety of perspectives on offer. And that said, the spiritual beliefs they talk about DO come from all over. We encounter Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Magick, and Tarot beliefs in the podcast discussion, not to mention the piles of imagery in the background from those, as well as Greek, Egyptian, and other mythologies. The first episode is a pretty-much secular discussion of drugs and their effects, with relatively little mention of supernatural topics.
Since atheism isn't a system of belief, it's unsurprising that there's no dedicated atheist episode; its only purpose would be to debate or refute the positions of the other thinkers, which would go against the peaceable spirit of the show.
And that said, just because they're discussing spiritual stuff doesn't mean they necessarily believe in anything supernatural; even in the "Magick" episode, and especially in the several Buddhism episodes, the focus is really on the characters' internal psychological states. In a sense these "spiritualities" are really just methods of doing psychology that lie outside of the modern Western paradigm. I'd say it would be a pretty naïve view to think that nobody besides educated Westerners of the past 100 years have discovered anything useful about the mind, when a far greater share of the intellectual effort in many (especially Buddhist) countries has been on understanding the mind.
Just because they come from another culture, and use different vocabulary, does not necessarily mean they come from anything irrational or unscientific. India's logical tradition predates the West's, and arguably their science was better-developed than the West's for the majority of history up until the Renaissance. This whole time, the mind was one of the main topics of discussion for Buddhists and Hindus alike; their taxonomy of the mind was deep, logical, and rigorous, and was studied by both religious and non-religious scholars.
Remember that the word "Psychology" itself means "study of the soul", and began in the West with centuries of Pagan and Christian religious thought, having only become secularized by the work of Freud and Jung and their followers. In fact, completely non-supernatural psychology is very much the historical exception, so it's unsurprising that a show *about* spirituality/psychology would have predominantly religious guests.
Perfect response! 100% agree
I totally agree with you that this show isn't something to binge watch because they're so much to it. I probably would watch this again when I get older. Because I guess my experiences in life would definitely change me and help understand somethings that went pass my head.
As an a staunch atheist myself, I loved the shows take on spirituality. To me, they werent being 'confident in defining what spirituality is' so much as just excited in expressing their experience of it. I think the shows surrealism appeals more to the psychonaut attitude of not taking things too literally.
If you haven't watched this show while on a psychedelic trip you're missing out
The last episode made me cry it was really good
The Midnight Gospel is not for watching only once. I specially enjoy the concept that the discussions topics are not linked with the their surrounding. I find it a way to show even more, that everything happening around us should not be so relevant for our inner happiness. Anyway, i think even without video, you cannot got all only by listening to it once. It's almost like each sentence need a meditating seance to think about it .
Was that a Cracked.com reference in 2020?
Oh man, I miss when they were good.
If you don’t take psychedelics you won’t get “it”
Unbalanced Libra
You sure? Cuz I don't and I did.
Man this really make me want to do a podcast like this but I don’t know where to start or how and the people
Certainly didn't stop Clancy :) Just buy a mic, ask around to find people who'd be down to chat, and find a site to post your series. Your audience will find you with time. Especially if you make the podcast something all your own. People appreciate unique, no matter what form its in. The Midnight Gospel in general is a pretty good indicator of that lmao.
Me to I'm getting into podcasting but I wish there was more people I could randomly meet and talk to about whatever the heck we want. Even share different opinions and ideals without arguing.
@@blackrosesthorn9451 that's true. Clancy has such a loveable extroverted attitude about him. He just walks over and is like hey could I talk to you for little? And it always works out lol
Tbh, this is probably one of my favorite shows I’ve ever watched...BUT my mom showed me movies like Yellow Submarine, The Last Unicorn, and Heavy Metal WAAAAAAY too early, so that might just be a fucked up childhood thing. It also helps that I have ADD and my brain already goes a million miles a minute, so I absorbed both the podcasters and the cartoon at once. Mostly, I loved this show because Clancy reminds me so much of myself. I’m not as irresponsible, but I am a 25 year old stoner just barely about to graduate from college...
I relate to his desire to run from problems, to seek out mysteries so you don’t have to deal with reality. Especially the entire issue with the simulator nearly exploding because Clancy won’t deal with it, I tend to let problems sit until the last possible moment while I avoid it with other things. The mediation episode really effected me as well because it reflected how my desire to be laid back hides a lot of frustration and inner anger.
I would recommend this show to anyone who loves the wonderfully weird side of animation. My hands down favorite episode is Damien Echols’ interview, I’m not very spiritual but being able to hear someone who has gone through what he has speaking with such gentleness and inner peace really got me!
This show was made for me. I was an atheist/agnostic...around 20 yrs old i did intravenous ketamine. The experience was terrifying. During the experience i became convinced i was dead. In the experience it felt like it lasted for days but when it was over i had been out for about an hour. I was healthy and fine physically but i spent the next few hrs with my jaw hanging open for several hours....i couldn't make complete words. A few days later i hopped a bus from Buffalo to about middle coast California to try living with my father a bit. I was givin a copy of the Bardo Theodol
I find this show to be extremely strange, I need to watch it again. Last episode was so emotional, didn’t this I would cry watching a strange cartoon, but the other episodes ... I couldn’t concentrate with all the shit going around, can someone explain it, was it done purposely like she was saying, what’s up with all that gone? Sometime I didn’t want to watch just listen .
This show is so comforting coming down from acid. So thankful this shows guided me through some tough times lmao.
This show quite litterly changed my life the spiritual messages this show has once fully understood have permanently changed my views on life for the better every time i rewatch this show i find something i didn't notice before and i understand the message clearer i was an atheist before but this show changed that its brilliant absolutely brilliant!
That last episode absolutely destroyed me. In fact, I have a tough time even thinking about it but I do think about it a lot. Such a fascinating and bizarre show. I'm with you, I don't know if I can say that I liked it but it's an experience I don't regret having.
Magic is as simple as using ur energy to get something to eat
I'm starting to think that you should watch the show again with an open mind about the spirituality. They're not telling you what's true, they're giving you a perspective- many perspectives to grasp the concept that is reality. It's up to you to interpret that information, and you shouldn't feel frustrated by the information just because you yourself aren't spiritual. I was an atheist before I was a spiritual practitioner.
science... spirituality is the science of experience. We need to move from the reductionist materialistic methodology of the academical theocracy and integrate the anima that we all have whether you like it or not. Yes, the measurement of the material world brings technological wonders that we can feel and see with our senses but never forget that your mind can experience things that cannot be measured with a ruler.
I love this show it’s beautiful and so well-thought out, smart and philosophical. I love that it is a platform for all kinds of povs and allows our amazing minds and thoughts to be showcased for we are all so different and that’s the most beautiful thing about our world !
My only complaint about The Midnight Gospel is that, in some episodes, what is happening onscreen (the plot of the episode) is so absurd and bizarre, that it takes you away from the actual podcast. Aside from that, I really enjoyed it.
You have to watch them a few times to appreciate it all.
That last episode is my favourite...but I hate watching it because it makes ssssooo sad 😔
I only watched cus i was trippin but who would have known it would have thrown me into high frequency trip mode
I love this show.
Duncan’s mother has passed away which is why they couldn’t adr that dialogue to replace where she calls him Duncan
i was suprised when i learned clancy was 44
Very interesting point of view ! That's what I love about humans, we all have such a unique experience with everything! Even though you are not into surrealism, I'm glad you gave the show a chance 😊wish you a great weekend!!🌌
The thing about your "Science" and "reasoning" is, it _Ignores_ the science behind the Spiritual Realm in favor of its reductionist theories.
The issue with reductionism is you're not actually analyzing it for what it is, you're simply reducing it to its simplest form. Atheism is rarely a position one finds themselves in after a lot of introspection but rather a default position hoisted onto most of us because of a myopic teaching regimen that promotes Masculine thinking patterns over a whole-brain thinking.
The Right side of the Brain is the Feminine half but gets ignored/overlooked entirely in favor of the Reductionist "Hard Logic" Left half, which is our masculine selves/energy.
I'm not here to tell you you're wrong about your Theological viewpoint, just that if you want a counterpoint to it from the science perspective, please by all means bring someone on who is willing to actually DISCUSS said topics without doing, as you are doing, and dismissing them on the surface of it as "Woowoo". Not to say you're necessarily using that term, but I can feel the emotional dismissal in your presentation of it. Of course they accept it as True and Real, we've actually STUDIED IT FOR OURSELVES. Without needing an Authority figure to comes from on high and bless us all with the "Magic of Science" which gives you The Big Bang Theory and says "Give us this one Miracle and we'll explain the rest."
Which really, is no different than the position of most Religions. Scientism is the Modern Variant of Religiosity.
What infuriates me when I hear a self avowed Atheist is hearing them go on endlessly about "Science" without ever once investigating the Science behind Spirituality. Russian Scientists have demonstrated that Life will create itself within Hermetically sealed Jars. The Universe Produces Life as a natural function of it's existence. There are countless threads of evidence in Nature to discover the Truth of our Universe, Scientism is one of the weakest forms we have, despite how strongly we cling to it.
The Universe clings to Novelty, the corner stone of Science is 100% Reproduceability, but the issue in that lies in the nature of how our Thoughts, our Mind, our desires and our Expectations affect the end result of an experiment. Science believes those factors are 100% irrelevant and so _never_ accounts for those as variables. The Lunacy of which is palpable. The fact that some of the most prominent scientific theories are _literally_ called "Dogma" should be questioned by most of you and yet most of you self avow yourselves as Atheist.
I don't understand y'all one lick.
It is creative in a very weird way. I find it very difficult to listen and understand. I feel if I concentrate on watching, I don’t listen to what is going on. It also makes me dizzy and my eyes feel tired and weird.
Thanks for making this! Since the show is so fresh, any commentary on it I can find is appreciated. I'm glad you mentioned your atheism too, and how that affected your experience with the show - I took the talk of higher powers for granted, but you're right, it is an assumed force here.
I was raised evangelical, right-wing Christian, which tends to be very strict and ultimately very shallow; when I had the freedom to explore OUTSIDE of that (it turns out, very small) bubble, I found so much beautiful thinking and beautiful Christian theology through the ages. The Midnight Gospel also gave me a tour of beautiful thinking and made me want to approach and embrace the concept of death and loss, but with a brave spirit. What other cartoon has done that for me?
This is an amazing show no matter who you are, it helped me open my eyes and realize the world around me. It’s almost like meditation. Hilarious meditation. Not only did it help open my eyes and see the bigger picture, but it also helped me Reject False Icons, a Gorillaz reference. It showed me that we are a celebrity run world and that we should start thinking for ourselves. It talks deep and realize that whatever small issue we have, it is very insignificant compared to a lot more than that.
i found this binged watched all of it in the middle of the night then had an extistental crissis at 4 am but that put it at the top of my list for show recomendations
I feel like you're missing the point if the show I am an atheist Buddhist and I loved the show because it wasn't an argument because it was just people talking about their life we spent too much time looking for an argument, a rebuttal or even flaws in someone else's thinking when we should be doing it's listening introspectively and respecting others
I completly agree with your review. Specially with the spirituality part. They just take it as fact all the time, 0 pushback on these dumb old ideas of magic and shit
Get stoned or take some acid is what it is designed for but I have done that in the past but lved it for its madness and deep conversations but the stuff in between was funny. But that last episode was amazing and what his mum said about death will live with me forever
I did it the way she said. I couldn't binge this show. I waited a few days between episodes.
Trestle Duncan for president...
Better than what we have.
Hear me out.....have to watch high....its like watching 4 episode in one. Sober i had to see the episodes over and over but high ( saw 1,2, and 3) dang it was incredible i could see the pod cast.could see them just talking could see the animation and would snap out of it when something they where talking about would actually happen in the show. Like it was saying hey remember yes this doesn't make sense but dose as well. Like when the fish was trying to bargain for cats it all became one show again then the pod cast began again and boom 4 shows.
Sorry of you read this and i waisted your time....dislike ;_;
you are so right
This show will be use to teach kids in the future
no one has ever made a 6/10 sound so good ( I personally enjoyed the show in its entirety but some great points were made here both for and against it ) Great work here
I don't understand what the hell these characters are talking about 90% of the time
Ironically i kept getting bible ads on this video.
'sfunny.
Good recognization of the yellow submarine animation simularuties , but nothing can ever be the submarine on crack in my opinion , it’s still better in my opinion
Research the ending of Community and what it means. This can be viewed as homework but Im all for autonomy
The violence in the cartoon is too extreme and edgy for me, especially when I turned on my 'serious mode' in my brain when I'm trying to listen to the interview.
This is a story within a story a lesson within a lesson but the last episode was just tears
"Extremely weird or pure genius"? Why can't it be both?
Oh man those bears in the last episode
Great video, and I agree for the most part, except everything shown was related to what was being said. It is true you get lost in one or the other when the detail and depth of both spike, but they were vaguely related.
The elephants things about to die and a nation of anarchy as they spoke of death, his mother and him aging and taking care of each other as they tackled death and family care and concerns, especially clancey starting as a baby because thats where their ocnversation began. The talk with death i felt tried a little too hard to be direct with the visual relation and just ended up having a lot of weird related side stories, while i feel the fish bowl head guy had the most unrelated visual to conversation relation.
Idk tell me what you think but for the most part the conversations aligned with the topics is what im saying
"It's a show where you watch one episode at a time and then sit and think about what you watched."
Naw. Do some shrooms or acid and just let this play.
I love the show alot mainly because I'm a big fan of Adventure Time and seeing this series is like step up from cartoon into like some conversation with other people. Nonetheless, loving it.
Its perspective thing I suppose your going to turn to wat will offer peace of mind and rebuttal something some one believes doesn't help if you don't understand what got them there. See 8f any of it can help though rough times. Cool video tho
In a nutshell: It‘s like a good acidtrip = amazing and beautiful
watching it while stoned 10/10
“Cant binge watch” clearly, you know nothing about your viewers
I'm an atheist and I have no problem watching a cartoon. At all.
