i didn't even know there was such a movie. i'll go snoop...

anyway, the thing i've watched most recently on "tv" is an amazon original from argentina. it made me laugh my ass off.

 

PORNO Y HELADO aka "porn and ice cream".

when i dared played the first episode i thought i was gonna cringe, but no, i laughed from the start, and didn't stop. it's very fucking good. so i ended up watching all 8 episodes this week.

some things will be lost in translation for people unfamiliar with the culture and the music, but the subtitles have actually undergone a fair amount of adaptation to reach english-speaking audiences.

gonna copypaste the tagline now: "Two socially-awkward thirty-somethings and a young con woman start a rock band that takes the Buenos Aires music scene by storm. "

anyway it's not quite that (it wasn't to me anyway, because it's heavy on irony, satire, parody, and sheer absurdity) but that gives you an idea of the setting for this thing.
