It's really Joe Bob Briggs. Texan. Ironic. Clever.

Here's his official photo with mail assistant.

We binged this, Netflix. I found it very interesting, despite lack of brutal violence or nudity, and that's rare.
I found that it lines up with what I have always known, and that is that it is easier to talk a rich person out of thousands, even millions of dollars than it is to talk them out of $5.
The main actress, Julie Garner from Ozarks, drove me crazy with that stupid backwoods hick/and what was it? German, Russian, British accent? Worst accent ever, slipping between sibling fucker redneck-esque and whatever that fake European one was. But, apparently it was true to life in the real story. She was a smart one, and took the NY socialite scene for a ride. Loved it... mostly because it shows that these rich socialites probably deserve to get scammed. Hell, they made money off of being scammed, fuck them, there were no victims here. I don't feel one bit sorry for them. The bankers all got promoted and raises for being scammed, and the other wealthy people got reimbursed by the creditors. The moral here, is that if you're going to scam, scam these scummy people. Us not rich people using banks and credit cards are the ones that paid for these rich scumbags getting scammed.
5/5 stars.

Just finished binging it myself and enjoyed it immensely. I agree with your analysis. 5/5 stars

Here's Joe Bob without the distracting Elvira type.

Darn, I cannot find samples of his reviews. Must all be paywall now. used to read a bunch every week, perhaps they came in email. It was a while ago!

If anyone can post just one review of his I would appreciate it. Nostalgia time!

Just finished The Book of Boba Fett.

Being A Star Wars fan (the first movie I ever saw in the cinema in 1977), and especially a Boba Fett fan (my favourite character), I'm a little biased.

So take my rating of 10/5 with a large pinch of salt. ?
