The Good Place 3 x 1 | Full-Length Reaction

Comments

Frank, I love you, but if you point out mouth inconsistencies during the Wire next I will have a crisis.

Noct

😬

Susan B

I'm sorry😂 but now you know a cool trick that filmmakers use to create that movie Magic

Franklin

I know right. I just tried as much as possible to ignore it. It comes with the territory

Franklin

This is true too. A lot goes on in the editing rooms. Its brilliant

Franklin

Totally agree

Franklin

I like that. I have to give that podcast a listen.

Franklin

The actors spoke about the filming process on the podcast (which I definitely recommend listening to!) and The Good Place actually almost always filmed using multiple cameras so they could get more than one angle at a time. The faces being out of sync is usually because the take with the best audio of the line is often not the same take as the best reaction from the other actor. And like @James Jones said, the cutting and splicing that happens in editing results in stuff not matching up.

Henry Leor

Agreed! At least when a show goes on too long, you can just pick a point to stop before it started going downhill (even if you don’t get a nice, wrapped up ending). When a show just ends before the creator’s original vision can be satisfied, it’s such a letdown.

Madison Rosbach

I always feel grateful when creatives are allowed to tell the story as they envision it and not be forced to artificially stretch it out. Nowadays with streamers, there is way too often the opposite problem with so many good shows cancelled quickly and not given a chance to wrap up loose ends😢

*creators to put the story to bed when it’s right, rather than when it’s no longer profitable, and I’m always grateful when they do.

Madison Rosbach

What you said about how the show could have been 7 seasons: I actually don’t think they could have done that while maintaining the quality of the show. As much as I hate to see a good show end, I prefer a decisive, intentional ending early on rather than a cancellation after the show’s quality peters out. So many good shows stretched out waaay beyond their expiration point: Greg’s Anatomy, Supernatural, Shameless, etc. The story that the Good Place wanted to tell had 4 parts, and they told them, and it ended exactly where it needed to. It’s so rare for tv crea

Madison Rosbach

Love how Shawn tore into Richard Marx. That song was one of the greatest date songs when I was in high school for about 6 months. Then everyone got sick of it playing non-stop everywhere you went. Also, the camera thing is a big issue for a lot of people, myself included. But it is not always because they only have one camera. Those scenes often get spliced together by the director, taking the best clips from dozens of takes. So unless you're watching a musical, where everything is done at a specific beat and synchronized, you'll never see the characters match up as they are flipping between different angles.

James Jones

Sometimes I can ignore it, but those reactions shots can be really distracting to me too

Drew B

I will never forgive you for the Single Camera Jaw-Watch, Frank. You are Satan. 😬

Susan B

Thank you!! Plus I've seen it multiple times, so it makes sense that Simone would look familiar to me for that reason not from earlier eps.

Melissa

It was a different woman, but that's easy to misremember cause she was only in one or two clips so far

Drew B

haha love love

Franklin

totally understandable hehe

Franklin

BTW, I'm super visual, and I completely tuned out when you explained the filming inconsistency because I know it'll haunt me forever. LOL

Melissa

I do think Simone was in an earlier episode as a girlfriend/possible girlfriend either in the fake Good Place or on Earth. Does anyone recall? Or am I wrong?

Melissa

I don't know why, but I love that joke so much. When I first recorded the episode on my DVR, I kept watching that moment when I needed to cheer up for whatever reason.

Calbah

Hell yeah another one! Love watching these reactions. You're very perceptive about so many things my guy. I could listen to you react to almost anything.

skoivan

Addie Pollack

Franklin

Dang Frank! You ain't messing around.
