Only two more episodes left of Barry this season?

This Barry review contains spoilers. The big chase scene that takes up the last 10 minutes of the episode is another wonderfully composed action sequence in a series which has been good for a few per season. When Barry gets on the highway that gives the episode its namesake, the camera is situated far behind him, giving scope to the speed, space, and danger of it all. It rules. The episode also continues the season-long trend of not letting the humor take a backseat to the driving plot or the darker aspects of the story. All our main characters find themselves seeking wisdom from Mitch, the beignets guy, which simultaneously skewers L.

What prevents the conflicting tones from being jarring is how well they work in concert: Humor naturally arises from the absurd scenarios that our main characters experience in the inherently absurd setting of Hollywood. Or take Mitch, the ex-drug dealer and current beignet chef from L. We hear more about the show in a perfect scene bringing in Vanessa Bayer as Morgan Dawn Cherry, an exec who has an immediately comfortable producer-agent rapport with Lindsay. The conversation devolves into an incomprehensible back-and-forth of grunts and facial contortions, all hilariously conveying meaning about the vibe that BanShe is looking for. When Hank comes into the shop to vent about Cristobal, Mitch suggests they run the business together a spinoff idea ripe with potential. More critically, though, he points out the numerous very big red flags that should make Hank reconsider whether he wants to be with Cristobal at all. After all that Hank and Cristobal have been through, it might be that huge lie that tears them apart. His old military buddy Albert Nguyen realizes Barry was probably behind the house explosion and the monastery massacre when he recognizes the perpetrator as ex-military. Initially, it feels like the episode is building up to a character-driven veteran-dinner climax where Barry will be forced to confront his memories of the war — and Albert will simultaneously confront him about what he did or gather some important evidence. The third and final conversation with Mitch prepares us for that, as Mitch gives Barry the sound advice to test the waters with a Zoom session before meeting old friends in person. Then the episode swerves away from that idea entirely, devoting a huge chunk to a long, tense, very fun chase across L. There are too many good moments here to list them all, but the tension really ratchets up when Barry steals a bike and hits the expressway, weaving through traffic and gunfire.

Anthony just did that on that take.

The camera is removed from the action almost, following Barry on a busted-up motorbike as he enters a highway and zooms through traffic, dodging the biker gang. And it all plays out with zero score, as the tactile sound design serves as the driving force behind the whole scene as was the plan from the first day he pitched the scene, Hader revealed. You watch a ton of movies your whole life. This might sound really lame, but I think I have friends who are really good at telling jokes. They can just tell jokes — John Mulaney, Seth Meyers. These are people who just have a natural ability to see the structure and come up with a perfect joke.

I originally planned to begin with a 1,word comparative analysis of the morphology of donuts and beignets, how they symbolize distinct narrative modalities in the world of Barry holes versus puffy centers. Why beignets figure so heavily in this episode must remain a mystery. Among many mysteries.

Maybe I should start doing this. Well, the first thing we did with that sequence was a big animatic previs. Release date May 29, United States. Is the whole thing at magic hour? Oh yeah. Next Episode ». And so we just started doing it over and over and over again, quick, back to one, back to one. She offers Sally a place in the writer's room in the series that replaced Joplin on the homepage, as she feels Sally could improve its critical reception. Barry got so tense about his worlds colliding that he shot Chris in the head and just left him to rot in the car. Traci rides to the roof of the dealership and starts firing, until she is killed by the owner with a shotgun. Fuches' schemes finally catch up with him. Knowing the Bill Hader and Alec Berg have a fourth season already mapped makes this development more exciting, because it portends things will just get more out of hand from here. He can keep turning to bribery for his nonviolent threats Gene and 'self-defense' against the people who want to kill him. So it was a lot of work and very hard for everyone.
