Until then, well, there are worse shows to get stoned to.To me, Inside Job’s greatest strength is its characters. If they lean into the weird and indulge in some character development they could make something special again. I genuinely hope they’re an improvement Hirsch and Takeuchi bought a lot of goodwill with Gravity Falls and I want good things for them. I’ll watch them but more because they’re there than any deep interest. There’s no release date for Part Two yet but IMDB already credits Hirsch with 20 episodes, so I assume the rest are on their way in the next six months or so. If you like crass adult animation with a generic animation style like Disenchanted, you’ll be mildly amused by the 10-episode Part One currently available. Myc needs someone to jerk off his tentacles (don’t ask).
Oh look, Andre’s making a joke about being high again. Brett is the best of the supporting cast he doesn’t know what he’s doing but by god he’ll do his best for the smallest hint of recognition. Caplan’s Reagan is very much her father’s daughter but constantly fighting her tendencies toward selfishness for the betterment of her team. Slater clearly has a blast playing the amoral sociopath whose every action best serves himself. Most of that comes from Lizzie Caplan and Christian Slater’s performances. It was easier to laugh at the foil-hatters before I knew they made up a solid third of the population.
The conspiracy theories gags just aren’t funny, with the exception of Buzz Aldrin’s moon sex cult and Randy’s manipulation of the Flat Earth Society. Most of the humor, such as it is, comes from Reagan’s attempts to humanize herself, usually by dating a robot or drugging her coworkers. To their credit, the first ten episodes found in Part One form an overarching storyline that mostly works. Reagan and Randy’s experiments inevitably blow up in their faces there’s a moral to be found at the end of each episode that rarely carries over to the next one. Magic Myc is a fungal Roger from American Dad Randy wishes he was more than a poor man’s Rick Sanchez. Dipper’s a lot smarter and determined than Brett, but they’ve got the same heart. Reagan is mostly Mabel once the disillusionment and moral rot kick in. I love Gravity Falls and it’s no surprise Inside Job’s best moments are the ones most reminiscent of that show. The last one makes sense it was created by Shion Takeuchi and Alex Hirsch, who wrote and created that quirky little Disney channel hit back in 2012. It’s a little bit Rick & Morty and a lot American Dad and Gravity Falls with more cursing. If all this sounds like something you’ve seen before, it’s because you have. He’s dumb and desperate for approval, but attractive enough he can get away with basically everything. Into this stumbles Brett (Clark Duke), the mediocre young white man brought in to co-lead with Reagan thanks to her complete lack of social skills. Her father Randy (Christian Slater) is a selfish, alcoholic bastard who only ever thinks of himself and her boss JR (Andrew Daly) is an unpleasant combination of heartless CEO and corrupt bureaucrat. And Magic Myc (Brett Gelman), the talking, psychotropic mushroom. Glenn Dolphman (John DiMaggio), the half-human, half-dolphin military experiment. Andre (Bobby Lee), the genius inventor who is constantly high on something. Gigi (Tishi Campbell), social media maven. She does this with the help of a team one bad acid trip away from spilling every secret on national television. Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplan), a misanthropic genius with barely-concealed megalomania, struggles to keep things running smoothly while fuming over how little she’s acknowledged. Kennedy was killed by a government assassin and while we did make it to the moon, the landing everyone saw on television was fake. There are shape-shifting lizard people and sasquatches (sasquatchii?) and sapient mushrooms. All of them, except for the Flat Earth theory. The conspiracy theories are true, you see. Technically a shadowy cabal of masked one-percenters rule the world and Cognito, Inc employees are the grunts who make sure no one figures out the earth is hollow and Atlantis is real. I didn’t worry about missing plot points because, well, there aren’t many.Ĭognito, Inc. I spent 5 hours marathoning it while baking and getting baked, which was the right choice.
To its credit, it does this in mildly amusing ways. From the animation style to the cast and basic plot, it retreads conventional ground from start to finish.
