[@vialdunate1186]

Part of what is so third eye open about this production is the deeply unnerving pov of food getting eaten. the wonky food jiggling dynamics contribute to the clammy aesthetic masterfully, and I think this animation was partially playful (and contrasted flavorfully against the ominous news monologue about the police displaying a dead officer's skull). I also was reminded by these digestion povs of the physicality of being old. (also by when the older woman couldn't even see the card in her hands.) it's easy to think of being old as an idea; sitting with the reality of existing as a slowly decomposing body is so much more intense, and I respect the producers for insinuating that feeling. the composition was so masterful at making moments feel immediate and claustrophobic. I felt how existentially alone Elizabeth was when she was talking to herself about the politically correct milks, just how the scene was composed.

For real. I mostly just wanted to punch the old man in the face, but the old lady’s frustrations were actually pretty valid imo. Having so many service jobs automated away is pretty annoying especially when communicating with a person can make so many tasks easier. Robotic phone operators are literally useless half the time. It is legitimately atomizing and half the time you feel like you’re doing more work than you have to just to pay a bill or buy a product.

The food close-up shots felt more like a relief than discomfort, thinking that the show was going to take a different direction. It was a struggle to watch all the way through, with it only being tolerable knowing that I'm not actually there and I can safely observe without having any interaction with them. If I watch more of this show when it comes out, I might become brainwashed into hating every old person I see. God, I don't wanna end up like them

[@eccentricjoe8786]

I'm honestly 100% tuned into this. It's so jarringly unlike a lot of media, it's weird even for weird stuff on youtube because it doesn't actually fully go where you think it might, I was expecting something horrible or disturbing, like a horror twist where it becomes a gore fest or something, but got surrealist humor and it was disturbing, but in ways I hadn't expected like emulations of human behavior with some social commentary. Maybe the strangest thing about this could be how sort of... weirdly optimistic and hopeful it seems in the end despite it's disturbing and overall helpless feeling moments. I'm genuinely not sure if I like these characters, part of me wants better for them but is saddened by how they treated the employees.

[@tylerpalmer8722]

Thats what I really liked too. I think shows are turning back to having a good message at their core i.e. smiling friends. Or at least willing to explore something without completely vilifying the characters. If this came out in the 2010s it would be cynical, and they WOULD turn into gory monsters or something horrible. But the animation here just keeps you on edge until the heartwarming ending which is very satisfying explicitly because it didnt turn into some eldritch horror, it just ended softly on a positive note.

[@hehe8012]

it was very unique. i was disappointed in how they treated the waiter, but a flawed character is more impactful. this was VERY surrealist. with humor that is not quite in your face but very funny.

I remember being in a clothes shop when I was a teenager, and this random old woman (probably older than boomer, like silent generation or smthn) was just complaining to me about the prices. Like... ok? I think about it a lot because I'm worried I'll become that bitter when I'm old, and if I do I'm probably going to hide behind a computer screen and do whatever the future equivalent of tweeting about it is.

[@stonyponyofficial]

grotesque and beautifully mundane, with a 3d rendered beating heart at the center. i love the dialogue, it has so much character like u can feel how they think as they talk right past/around each other about pills and china and dead wives. i think the milk/haircut scene where we enter the ladies' minds eyes and especially self checkout scene encapsulates it a lot, like sure chatty boomer customers arent my favorites either, but they just want to talk at someone and will maybe let someone else talk at them, even if neither are really listening just to get it out. and feeling alienation at not being able to do this in the modern day is scary for the boomer, so a lot of the time they just talk about the things they're afraid of in a veiled sense or their past. raymonds part in his first scene is probably my favorite for how roberts anniversary reminds him of his wife which turns his at first jokey nature, still light hearted at mentioning "the widowers joy", becomes him recounting his wife's death to his friends for what is surely not the first or even hundredth time, just to go right back to teeing the ball. and then roberts answer was found in actually listening to his wife and what she needed. id understand if others think this is just a show about gross, out of touch boomers eating grossly, but it's uniquely humanizing. anyway yeah this was pretty good, id probably watch more ^_^

[@GramOfAdderall]

These are some good observations. Anyone that is around old people, they 100% talk AT each other and no one is listening. I personally find it unbearable to be around, but they will literally be in a group, all of them talking about different things and NO ONE is listening to each other. Bizarre.

Ehhh, gen x isn't quite old enough yet I think. However there are a ton of entitled gen x'ers, who grew into a cynical attitude despite it still being quite easy to get a high-paying job and a home in the 80s and 90s. I'd say they are an off-shoot of the boomer mentality. The "oohhh I can't stand my middle-management job that pays 90k a year where I do nothing all day" mentality. More cynical than the boomers, but at least they're funny.

[@Guywithaclub]

Boomers yes, but the gen x people I’ve known are too cynical and defeated to act like this. Yes they are a product of boomers, but they didn’t get to enjoy the same level of prosperity. They’re still relatively young and living in the real world. I think they’re mostly trying to accept the way things are now.
