Join us as we dive into the surreal and experimental comedy of Julio Torres' latest series, Fantasmas. We discuss its unique blend of sketch comedy and overarching narrative, comparing it to Torres' previous work on Los Espookys and other genre-bending shows like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Adult Swim classics. From Paul Dano's bizarre cameo to the quirky recurring motifs, we cover it all. While one host finds the show hit-or-miss, the other appreciates its offbeat humor. Tune in for a lively debate on what makes Fantasmas both a triumph and a challenge to watch.
