Deep Water, Standing Up, and grab bag - a podcast by Criticism Is Dead

We discuss Deep Water _and _Standing Up, two works that both involve finding the humor in less-than-ideal circumstances (whether intentionally or not).

04:21 Deep Water, streaming on Hulu, is not an especially good film, but it is a good time.

23:55 Standing Up, streaming on Netflix, is a highly capable ensemble dramedy that makes fully realized characters out of what could have been basic tropes.
