I love Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, and most IFC shows, but I didn't care for this one. It was alright, just kinda boring and a little bland. The idea is genius though!

I can't tell you which one is my favourite episode but I can definitely tell you that my absolute favourite moment is when Helen Mirren says "And it should be noted that 'ballz' and 'wallz' are spelled with zeds." I died laughing many more times than the hipster film hosts died of stupidity during that episode. And the Kunuk episode with the Eskimo Whore and her pimp? You'll howl with laughter as each episode is played completely straight and the creators of the show expertly play the starring roles.
