The Josh Innes Show - TV Show Reviews

Episode Date: June 11, 2025

I have watched the first three episodes of "Stick" on Apple TV. The show stars Owen Wilson and Marc Maron.. Speaking of Apple TV, I've been sort of pleasantly surprised lately. Usually, I associate this app with pompous drivel. A few shows have been good. Also, I go on a random diatribe about hot chicks in glasses. Learn more about your ad choices.

at some point and is now just kind of like playing the Owen Wilson kind of happy-go-lucky character but like his wife is leaving him and he's just kind of a, just a go wherever the wind takes you type of dude, right? Kind of down on his luck, broke type of dude, wife's getting a divorce from him and then he discovers like this 15, 16 year old kid who seems like a golf phenom and now he's going to try to like coach him type of deal. It's not a bad show. It's watchable. Like, you know, there are some shows that are watchable but after you watch it, you're kind of like, yeah, I don't feel like any kind of new ground was broken here. I don't feel like anything about this was spectacular. If it went away tomorrow I wouldn't be like, oh man there's no more stick, you know.

They've released three episodes and I think today would be the fourth. I finished the third yesterday. It's one of those things that's watchable because Owen Wilson is charming and I like Mark Maron and he's in the show. Like it's fine, but it doesn't feel like it's almost like it's like it kind of wants to be Ted Lasso in a way and I didn't really watch a ton of Ted Lasso, but I get the concept of Ted Lasso, but it's not Ted Lasso and then it's kind of like it's sort of like your just kind of stereotypical's kind of like, it's sort of like your, just kind of stereotypical every

kind of down on his luck sports guy movie that you know tries to reclaim his success with a you know a young person he's discovered type of deal. It's not one that I'd tell you that you must watch. It's not one that I would say you know rush to the house today to watch it because a lot of stuff on Apple TV isn't for me because I think Apple TV is a very, like there's something that oozes, I don't know what the word I'm looking for is, maybe not douchey, but it's very kind of pompous and holier than thou and like kind of like the real slick smart kids make Apple TV shows. Now, that's not to say that some of the stuff isn't good. The the

monkey show with Vince Vaughn I thought was fun and a good show. I haven't watched the Oh, what the hell is the name of the show with Adam Scott? I haven't watched that. So I don't know if it's any good or not. Then you get shows like the studio, which you know, and I liked it. So maybe I like more of the shit on Apple TV than I let on. It's funny about Apple TV because it's not like Apple TV makes a ton of stuff. It's not like Netflix where there's like 40 things every day that come out on Netflix

or with Amazon Prime or whatever. It doesn't seem like there's a ton and a lot of their shows just have just been there. Like I thought the the morning show the morning show was good for a while, but I think it got kind of stale. I think a lot of the problem with shows in general is what happens is you start recycling the same shit over and over and like you're like like I've been watching actually let me play a couple commercials and we will continue the NBA Finals are finally here and after spending the playoffs all over

It's amazing that that went seven seasons of doing that. And I love that show and Hank Moody is like my favorite character ever. But a lot of shows are like that. Like I think Hax is dealing with that now. Somehow another season of Hax is coming out. Speaking of Hax, remember yesterday or two days ago, we were talking about how my sister has a crush on Steve Gutenberg and you're like,

that's kind of an odd crush for a 35 year old girl to have to be crushing on current day Steve Gutenberg. That's a very strange crush. Although he seems like the nicest guy on the planet. You watch his Instagram videos and he just seems like a lovely dude. It feels like a strange thing or a strange person for a relatively young gal to be, you know, into like, boy, let me tell you about Steve Gutenberg and how hot he is. And I would kind of look at that and say that's odd. There is someone

that I find very alluring that is attached to to hacks. Now I used to think Gene Smart was really hot. Like back in the day when Jean Smart was on a television program called Designing Women, I loved Jean Smart. Like for whatever reason I thought she was really sexy. And she's aged very well. But the second lead on that show, her name is Hannah Einbender, I think is her name. Her mom is the ch- one of the original people on SNL. Which one was she? Not Jane Curtin. Her mom is one of the other chicks that was on. Her mom is, if you've ever seen Problem Child 2, she was the chick that the John Ritter character was going to marry or did marry

But anyway, that's her mom and I think I'm saying the last name right I in binder in binder bender I'm bender something like that and And she's apparently like queer or bisexual I'm not sure which one it is But I know her titties have been on this show a couple times and like she seems like the kind of person who in reality would really hate me and maybe that's why I'm so attracted to this person, but like she's not like smoking hot by any means and she's not some chick that's stacked and she's not got giant ass, like she's just kind of like a basic left wing looking Hollywood type that, you know, talks about Israel and Palestine and shit I don't

understand it. I'm queer and I'm bisexual, like shit that's like above my pay grade that I don't fully understand or care about. But for whatever reason, I find her to be extremely attractive. And maybe it's because like sometimes you find yourself attracted to people that are opposite of you and you know would have totally opposite interests of you and would probably be exponentially smarter than you and probably bully you around for being a dipshit. Like that's kind of the

vibe I get. But like, like you look at certain celebrities, and you look at the ones and say which one would like me which one would hate me like it's weird because you don't want to feel like you like people who would hate you like if Cher ever listened to this program Cher would think I'm the biggest scumbag on the planet but I am like a Cher file that's seen Cher like five or six times and this hasn't always been the case like I feel like at one point in life, people could probably be opposite politically, but still adore people musically, movie-wise, whatever, who are

opposite of them because the music's so good or whatever. Now it's almost like you're not allowed to do that. And I think some people deliberately dislike people just because of their politics. Like there are a lot of people who now just hate like Bruce Springsteen because Bruce Springsteen is now an openly wacky political person. I just dislike Bruce Springsteen because I think virtually all of his songs are fucking mumble garbage other than like Hungry Heart which is a song I like but for the most part I really hate Bruce Springsteen but there are people who are super opposite of me and I say I'm not even a political person. I just think about the things I say and I think about what those people would

react to. Like Cher would hate a lot of what I say. I did a whole episode of What the Hell is Queer? I feel like Cher would really think I'm a piece of shit right so like whatever but if Cher were in town tonight and I'm like I'm gonna go see her like that. That's just how that would be right. So it is fascinating how that works but back to this chick on hacks. She's not like stack. She didn't have like a smoking hot body. She doesn't wear revealing clothing like in her stand-up special. She's wearing like some sort of like like

romper type of outfit whatever jumper like whatever it might have been like cat like a dress pants and like a suspenders. I don't know what it was, but I watched her stand up and I found myself laughing and I for whatever reason there are certain people that you don't know why you think they're hot. You probably shouldn't think they're hot. You know, they'd probably hate you but you still look at them and go, I am super attracted to you. I'm trying to think of people like other people like that for me,

but she's one that just comes to mind. But I've always been kind of into like chicks that are kind of like nerdy glasses hot and she's not nerdy glasses hot. Like Tina Fey is bae for me. Like the super duper hottest look for someone is Tina Fey, smart chick, like really witty, fucking cutting comedy. Like back when chicks doing comedy wasn't, like back when like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler just fucking hilarious and Maya Rudolph

and Anna Gostyer and all these people on SNL were just fucking hilarious. And you didn't feel like it was like woman comedy for the sake of woman comedy and like men or the it was just like funny shit and they were head writers for SNL and you had prime Tina Fey on 30 rock with the fucking glasses and the brown hair and that look and like the Sarah Palin shit and I'm like that's fucking hot and you don't know why you feel that way but you

do. Glasses are alluring. Glasses look good. Smart chicks in glasses. Black glasses. Well, you know who's an ultimate for that is Lisa Loeb. Like Lisa Loeb even today in the glasses and everything, Lisa Loeb still looks good. And that song is like 30 something years old and she still looks phenomenal. Kennedy. Do you remember Kennedy from MTV? Kennedy was just like she had the glasses

and like in that kind of grunge air with the glasses. Now I think Kennedy still has like a political talk show or she did on CNBC or like Fox Business. One of these Fox channels, Kennedy, had a like a political show. And I have no idea what or like Fox Business. One of these Fox channels, Kennedy had a political show and I have no idea what her political leanings are. I'm going to guess they're somewhat right wing, but I don't know this for a fact, but Kennedy had a political talk show and I would watch it just because I thought Kennedy was

hot. It's amazing. You take off the glasses and it's a totally different thing. If you see Kennedy without glasses, it's's like I don't really think you're that hot anymore. And like Tina Fey without glasses I'm like it's not the same. It's like a Superman type thing. Like in Superman's case you take off the glasses. Like you put on glasses nobody knows that you're Superman. You're Clark Kent. You take off the glasses, go in a phone booth, put on a cape, you're fucking Superman and you fly and shit. Like with certain women, you put them in glasses, and they become a different person. I have a hot take. If Lisa Loeb never wore the black glasses, I don't think stay

parentheses, I missed you, or missed you parentheses stay whichever one it is. I don't believe that that would have been as big of a hit as it was. Black glasses can completely change your perception of a person. It's pretty fascinating how that happens. And just find somebody, look up somebody that you know as someone wearing glasses, and then see them without glasses

and they feel like a different person. How I went on to this diatribe, I have no clue. This all started with talking about this show on Apple TV which look, hey, more power to you, watch it. Like I wouldn't say don't watch Stick, it's fine, but you're not going to watch it and feel like you're breaking any sort of new ground here, you know? Like it's, there's nothing special about this show. But it's fine and watchable and Owen Wilson is likable so it works. It's just Owen Wilson being his most Owen Wilson-y. I'm trying to think of and I thought I would watch the studio. There's like one or two episodes that are kind of blah,

but there's some episodes of this show that are really good. Particularly, there's an episode with Ice Cube that's really funny. And it's good. And for whatever reason, like I know that Seth Rogen's kind of a crazy person now and would probably dislike me, but I still like shit that Seth Rogen does. There's a likeability about him that he has. I would watch that if you haven't watched that. The Monkey Show on Apple TV is good. What was the other one?

The Morning Show was fine, but it got into that whole thing of recycling storylines and good. What was the other one? I think and then the the morning show was fine, but it got into that whole thing of recycling storylines and it gets kind of boring after a while. And there you have it. So stick, I would I would watch it, but I wouldn't watch it with the expectations of being blown away by it. If you're sitting around and there's nothing else on, give it a shot. What else have I watched recently? I watched the Oklahoma City bombing documentary, but like I

don't know how you tell a documentary or have a documentary about such a significant event like that that's multi-layered and it only lasts like an hour and 20 minutes. Like I'm a big believer if you're going to do a documentary, do it right. Do three episodes an hour a piece whatever you have to do. I was just kind of blah with that one. And have I watched another documentary? I don't know. Like some of them I don't want to watch. Like I was sort of interested in watching the Brett Favre documentary, but I've realized that

those untold documentaries have gotten worse. It's amazing how that happens though. Like they start really deep in these documentaries and they're great. And then as they start producing more of them and more quickly, they just become very bland and uninteresting. And that's kind of what's happened with the Untold documentaries. That's what happened with 30 for 30. You watch, I think we've talked about this, not to be repetitive, but if you watch the first couple years of 30 for 30s, they're remarkable and they're being made by big time

filmmakers and you feel like you're seeing something awesome. And now they just kind of spit out bullshit, you know? So that's kind of how these things work, and Netflix has to keep pumping out material, and some of these documentaries just aren't worth a shit. So, but anyway, more to come.
