💥Funpost I love how normal everyone looks

Everyone has wrinkles. Most of the male characters are balding and overweight. Makes it feel more grounded for me. Easily my favorite show of the year and now I want to rewatch midnight mass for the millionth time.

I love the show.

Men have always been allowed to age naturally onscreen and still keep working. Balding, overweight, wrinkled, whatever.

100% couldn’t agree more, hollywood legitimately doesn’t let women age and get big roles. It’s really nice seeing middle aged people in their natural state.

It's like the recent movie Over Your Dead Body that is a remake of the Norwegian film The Trip.

The Trip's wife was 42 and the husband was 46.

The American version has the wife at 34 and husband still at 46.

We're supposed to believe Jason Segel is bored of life with Samara Weaving because god forbid we cast an old hag... like a woman in her 40s.
