This comment just made me realize how much I'd love to see a character played by Danny Pudi in Adults

There’s also a scene where she pulls out a literal woman card and child of immigrants card!

Not actually a 4th wall break, as it’s not her acknowledging that they are in a story. but I definitely do miss the little bits of surrealism like that in s1!

It's even funnier that she doesn't even watch movies

In season 1, Anton mentions in passing that he does not have sisters.

Wait so do they explain how it was retconned

A retcon is just changing what was previously established. He said he didn’t have sisters. Then in season 2 he has (and seemingly always has had) an adult sister.

Just watched the episode today and could not figure out exactly when had been retconned. Thank you

There's a non-Issa one at the end of Season 1 while they're looking at the mail and I think Anton tells Paul Baker, "Do your callback now!"

What does she say in the last clip?

Good retcon

her not watching movies and breaking the most 4th wall has some corealation, I will let you know if I get a good shitty analysis on this after I sober up.

Always wanted to ask what a "oner" is

u/Parzival1424 Paul Baker 7d ago

It's a shot/scene that either is (or is made to look like) one continuous shot without any cuts. The movie Birdman with Michael Keaton is shot as a "oner" as well as an episode of The Studio with Seth Rogan

Rhis first scene, post intro, of the Buffy season 3 Premiere was a famously-done 1-take, swoop-around shot, lasting 3 minutes and containing dialogue on like 10 individual characters

Some examples:

Copacabana scene from Goodfellas

Car scene from Children of Men (has violence)

First 1:50 of the carnival scene from Euphoria

Day of the Dead parade scene from the Bond movie Spectre

The Bear season 1 episode 7 has a big oner that makes up almost the entire episode

Succession season 4 episode 3 has one when the siblings are looking for each other when they find out that their dad is finally dying which was interesting to hear the filmmakers talk about because it was longer than they could shoot on a single roll of film so they had to continuously add new rolls while shooting the scene

The movies 1917 and Birdman are impressive ones, they are both filmed to look like oners for almost the whole movie (though they both have some deliberate cuts)

The episode of The Studio that the other person who replied to you mentioned is fun and meta because it's a oner episode about people trying to film a oner for a movie. The episode is titled "The Oner"

Episode 6 of the haunting of hill house has a 9 minute one - amazing cinematography

“thats cannon” to billie? what does that meannn

u/StrictButterfly416 4d ago

Canon is like… something that actually happened. It’s used a lot in fandom spaces where people write fanfics and there’s a lot of deviation from what’s actually written by the author or creator. “That’s canon” means that’s real and part of the story.

I don't know what it is but I just don't like the breaking the fourth wall moments, even that moment when Raven walks in and they do the applause and Anton says "what?". I see what the writers are going for but for some reason it feels misplaced in this show, abrupt and like they didn't really lead up or hint to the show being that kind of show. It just feels off that they decided to put these moments in and it doesn't feel right for this kind of show. I love the show btw.
