“The Apple Brooch” (2022) Big Mouth S6E6
Bekkah:
Look I am always here for Jeff doing Jeff, even when the show has maybe jumped the shark a little bit! I really do feel like they were just like “Jeff here is a vague script, you do you,” which, in the year of our glob 2023, is exactly what everyone should do. Jeff has earned his place to just get paid to be a weirdo! I am also here for anyone who wants to make fun of Apple’s opulance. I do wish Jeff had showed up as a hormone monster in like, maybe season 2, but I’ll take what I can get!
Danya:
Big Mouth definitely has it’s charms, although they may be hidden beneath a damp, threadbare merkin. Greed, insecurity, and child abuse all were on display in this episode, in which Jeff still managed to play himself, even as a technological bauble. I do like that Missy is insatiable and not totally shamed for being a “constant masturbator”, but a lot of the parent stuff was just really uncomfortable, and not in a hilarious way.
6/10 Big Golds
The voice of a slick, new tech accessory hypnotizes people into doing things they normally wouldn't do. Missy grapples with the concept of sin.
