John Mulaney u0026 The Sack Lunch Bunch: Directed by Rhys Thomas. With John Mulaney, Alexander Bello, Tyler Bourke, Ava Briglia. John Mulaney and his kid pals tackle existential topics for all ages with catchy songs, comedy sketches and special guests in a nostalgic variety special.

“Essentially a contemporary version of those 70s Xmas variety specials headed by a singer or comic. Iu0026#39;m not really sure who this show is for, but it was pleasant and at times genuinely funny. David Byrneu0026#39;s duet with one of the kids was a highlight, and Andre De Shieldsu0026#39; number was a treat as well, and hit the mark comedically. I watched it with my kids, 13 and 15, both fans of Mulaney. Iu0026#39;m a late Dad, so the style references were very much aimed at my age range… I remember the shows Mulaney is gently mocking quite well. My kids got the joke(s), but i think got a bit weary of it about half way through. My 13 year old said when it was over, u0026quot;I think it would have been funnier if it was just John Mulaney.u0026quot; Well, yeah. I appreciated the gentle tone and the little surprises… your mileage may vary.”
