John Safran the Lost Pilot
This
was a hard disc to review and initially it seemed like a collection of
crap that John Safran and the ABC were trying to get rid of.
Although I must admit that I have a soft spot for this whacky Jew from
Melbourne and even though much of the material has been aired before, it
was still entertaining to watch this quirky and quite intelligent
comedian.
If
you're a fan of his previous TV shows and enjoy his Triple J segments,
than you've come to the right spot and even though he's younger, his
sense of humour is still the same.
In
essence, this DVD collects his best moments from Race Around the World
that include breaking into to Disneyland and placing a curse on an
ex-girlfriend plus some more strange segments such as John Safran
Masterchef which takes the viewer on a behind the scenes segment of
where food actually comes from. Of course, if you want to see how "beef"
is made, you better not watch this DVD.
With
76 minutes of Safran goodness or badness if you're Ray Martin (yes it
does include the clip with Ray Martin getting "violent" on John), this
DVD will have you shocked, laughing and sometimes staring in horror at
the screen as John streaks through Jerusalem, sets fire to himself and
stalks Ray Martin with one of the Paxton kids, it doesn't get any better
or worse than this!
Champaign comedy at its best! |
