Why Netflix's "Big Mouth" Is The Best Show Ever

IndieWire

I am unsure if you have seen the new Netflix show, "Big Mouth" by creator Nick Kroll. It is a goldmine! And I don't usually say that about a ton of tv shows (mostly only "Rick and Morty" and "How To Get Away with Murder"). It is about a group of young teenagers going through puberty... which already isn't easy. The show "Big Mouth" is honestly something special and I wish it was around when I was going through puberty... because man can I relate to a lot of it just like I am sure hundreds of others can as well. The show has garnered a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2 on IMBd and rightfully so.

Big Mouth is a quality piece of comedy. The main characters are all 13 which causes some people, mostly mothers, to say that the show shouldn't be aired because of its harsh jokes and crude language. But I personally think that is why it should be shared. If we are being honest with ourselves at 13, you are already going through sex-ed class so why not learn it in a way that is more realistic than a gym teacher spouting std facts at you that you are not actually listening to.

The show also allows for a more open dialogue about puberty, sex, and the human body. It allows for the discussion whether in the form of questions or reminiscing on memories of a topic that has become so taboo in our society, which should not be the case. The show pulls from real experiences of the creators and actors which allows for more connection with those who watch either an episode a day or binge-watched the whole thing in about 3 hours.

And you can not forget those hormone monsters. I do not think I have seen a more accurate representation of the hormones, emotions, and feeling that occur during puberty in my entire life. Maya Rudolph and Nick Kroll do amazing jobs in bringing basically any emotion a puberty-ridden teenager could feel and bring it to life. Thank you, Nick and Maya, for these amazing characters I did not know I needed.

If you have not watched Big Mouth yet, I highly recommend giving it a chance... even the parts that just do not seem that realistic. I bet you will enjoy it more than you think you will. It is a fantastic show that highlights an issue that literally affects everyone. Plus once you are done with season one, you will be begging for season two to come out ASAP.

Happy watching!!!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
