Okay... I got the thing to work. it's all about hitting the pause button at the RIGHT time. Split second timing.
All and all, after seeing a few of them, I have to say, Angelo IS what I expected him to be. If you've ever seen 2 people cooking shows, they engage in conversations on various levels of forced. From natural conversation about the dish to forced jokes that they both pretend to laugh at, hiding a "Gaaaawwwd I hate YOU!" grimace.
Movie Night REALLY shows what duo cooking shows are about. Angelo's BAD Cat and Dog joke (not eliciting any laughs from Cat... Tyler even takes it to the next level), and the whole "Wow, I never knew you could do that" fascination of the Greek Salad hot dogs. Really... watch ANY cooking show with more than one cook. This is clever and subtle satire without coming across as snarky on the part of Tyler. You know... after this is all over, I kinda hope they keep him around for a bit. Sort of like one of the OTHER people that work cooking food for the Muppets... like Gladys.
That said, I am GLAD that these aren't just a bunch of dumbed down kiddy recipes like frosting store bought cookies to look like something, or cutting veggies in such a way that they look "fun" but still taste like raw veggies. No. Real recipes for real food that the adult in the house has to cook. That makes this just so much more fun.
And LOVE Frankenfurterstien to death.
