THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL ⇢ 4x08 | HOW DO YOU GET TO CARNEGIE HALL?

"What's he known for?" he kept saying. "What's he known for?" As if a-a man's life is measured by how many people have heard of him?

watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 2 and honestly the writers did an amazing job with this one. because obviously, season one, 10 minutes in you realize that even though Joel has this dream of being a professional comic and he's trying so hard to be forcibly funny, Midge is the naturally funny, quick witted one out of the two.

and i thought that it was just like that, they grew up in similar households, it would make sense that Midge just happend to turn out a little funnier than Joel, but that's absolutely not the case

Midge grew up around Abe and Rose, and while Abe is a little nerdy, a little out of touch with the world his anxious ramblings are funny, his alcohol induced quips are funny, the scene where they're watching the fireworks in the Catskills, both Rose and Miriam are dying of laughter because Abe is funny

Rose on the other hand, while a little bit of a perfectionist and stickler is razor sharp, her one-liners to Shirley in the salon were hilarious, and she didn't even miss a beat, there's not a world in which in a household like that Miriam turns out unfunny

Moishe on the other hand, is a kind of funny that's entertaining to us, who're watching the show, but like that scene where they're having dinner with Penny he never finishes a joke, even if he had an opportunity to be funny he never fully took it, i'm not saying Joel is boring, he really does have his moments, but they don't feel as casual and natural as it does with the Weissmans

so putting all of that in the equation, the crucial differences in their upbringing, it never could have turned out any different for them. in every universe and in every reality, Midge will always be the one under the spotlight on stage while Joel can't be anywhere else but row 9 seat C

[absurdiststances]

to any marvelous mrs. maisel/luke kirby/lenny bruce fans who might not already know about its existence, i highly recommend checking out kevin pollak’s new maisel podcast where his first guest is luke kirby!

currently listening to it and its so nice to hear luke speak so relaxed (unlike some of his interviews where he seems a bit more reserved haha)

i only found out about this podcast through one random tweet so hoping to share it with others who might enjoy it!
