![]() ![]() And wouldn’t you know it, they do! In the very first episode of this third season, The Other Two teases the platform it airs on, tossing in a light roast about the hunt for VOD movies amidst a chaotic streaming landscape. In fact, Warner’s goofy restructuring seems like something The Other Two would parody. The plucky HBO Max series, which moved from Comedy Central to the fledgling HBO streamer in 2021, is one of the very few original titles that withstood the many cuts Warner Media made in the lead up to the launch of “Max,” its new streamer. Perhaps even of any sitcom ever made- The Other Two is boldly rivaling 30 Rock at this point. ![]() The comedy has some of the smartest satirizations and possibly the firmest grasp of the zeitgeist of any TV show airing today. ![]() That’s why the parodying in The Other Two is so remarkable. But it is true: fantastic references to our culture, be it books, movies, celebs, music, whatever, are few and far between. Or was it just a short story? Surely this quote is a reference to something (maybe a Sufjan Stevens song?) I can’t remember where I heard it. There’s a wise saying that goes a little something like this: “A good pop culture reference is hard to find.” Maybe it’s in a book. ![]()
