Dropout’s show that’s been running for three seasons as this point, Very Important People, is such a genius idea. The basic concept is that the host, Vic Michaelis(they/them), interviews a comedian who has been given a makeover into some kind of character or creature. The person getting the makeover has no say in or idea what they’re going to become. They then have to come up with a character based on their makeover. Here are a few examples:

Anna Garcia as Princess Emily

Ify Nwadiwe as Denzel

It’s a fascinating show. The skill of their improvisation is so impressive. Vic is no slouch either, they’re playing the straight man with barely controlled madness. They fully give in to whatever the character on the other side of the couch is giving them. There’s a nimbleness to them. They help weave together their interaction into a story that can end with Vic getting punched in the face or quitting the show and taking a demon home. as a roommate/child.

However, they finally went too far. The makeup department brought this hell into my good Christian eyes:

Ollie and Archimedes played by Jacob Wysocki and Brennan Lee Mulligan. Even when they appeared Vic was visibly shook. I will never watch this episode and if you want to get me to confess secrets I’ve never had, you just need to put me in a chair and force me to watch it. Anyway, here’s the first episode that’s free on Youtube if you want to check it out before you subscribe to Dropout.
