    0:17 This young Japanese woman is Kazu Makino and, according to the end credits and the IMDb, she provided vocals to the soundtrack; she's likely seen also at 0:12 and her voice might be heard at 0:42. A couple of years later Kazu Makino founded noise rock band Blonde Redhead with Italian twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace. They still record and tour after more than thirty years.
    I once read a Facebook post by Kazu Makino saying that she met John Lurie in Japan. Judging from the tone of that post I had the feeling that they were in a relationship and he brought her to New York where she later met the Pace brothers. This TV series is produced by a Japanese broadcaster by the way.

    Beginning of the trip: "I'm invigorated. I could disappear out here and never be heard from again."
    End of the trip: "This is ridiculous. Why did I let you talk me into this."
    And that, my friends, is the perfect representation of camping I've ever heard.

      the reason for that is because a Japanese broadcaster funded the entire series - John Lurie TRIED to get American funding dollars for the project, but no one would touch it, citing that it's too weird, bizarre, etc. Shows what American broadcasters know.

    Leon: "cowfish?"
    John: "nah, real cow".
    Leon (acknowledging): "ohh".
    Leon thought they were still talking about another weirdly named fish (chickenfish, goatfish, cheesefish).
    8:03 lol
    Tom: "that's fascinating John...is that a fishing story?"
    John decided to throw in this little non-sequitur story that had nothing to do with fishing.
