Last blog of the year for me! The only thing I watched today was Kumail Nanjiani’s newest standup special, Night Thoughts, so I guess that’s going to be my last “film review” of the year.
I’ve liked Kumail’s work for years, ever since I saw the movie he made about the crazy story of his journey meeting his wife and what they dealt with in their relationship (it’s called The Big Sick). So, when I saw he put out a new special, I was excited to watch it. My family sees a lot of comedy shows and we’ve watched a bunch of specials over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever watched Kumail’s standup in real life, so I was excited to give it a try.
I would definitely recommend Night Thoughts to people who know his work, and also to people who have no clue who he is. You don’t really need a ton of context (he references his Marvel film Eternals a bit, but not much other than that) to understand his stories, and he’s just a very clever guy. Also, he talks about his cat, which is cute and I appreciate especially an adult man who isn’t beefing with all cats (something about those men feels vaguely misogynistic somehow). Plus my roommate has a cat so I’ve become a big fan of the whole feline genre.
If you’re looking for a laugh, this could be how you spend an hour of your night. Merry new years to all, and to all….. byeeeee.
