The Very Good:
-Dr. Jacoby’s wackadoodle talk radio program that sounds EXACTLY like something you’d find skimming through AM frequencies in the backwoods somewhere. Even better is that his audience is Jerry Horne and Nadine. (Hey girl!)
-Shelly and Norma, diner mom duo. They’re watching that cycle go ‘round again, nothing they can do about it.
-The Great Northern key going into the mailbox!! THAT SETUP.
-whoever did the casting/costuming/set design for the drugged out mother-son family is spot on. Yikes.
-the musical vibe of the Sockhop from Hell at the Roadhouse.
-that pretty wonderful credits scene choice, and the bits of Cooper that are coming on back. I was pretty sad about whatever was going on when he looked at his(?) son.
The Not Very Good:
-whatever was going on with that owl-faced mufucker at the Roadhouse. We get it! He’s a bad dude!
-Doris. Sigh.
-what was the real Dougie like, in his day-to-day life??? Is this company a front to reintegrate dementia patients into their lives or something?
The Nightmare Fuel:
-that damn MIRROR, WHY. Yeah yeah, it answers some questions, and is also juuust unnerving enough that it’s going to haunt my middle-of-the-night bathroom trips for a month.
