We were driving home from Bethlehem, PA the morning after my final Spring Tour show when I got a call that it wouldn’t be renewed for another season. Hello, I am writing to share the unfortunate news that ‘Joe Pera Talks With You’ is over for now. Such was the duality of this wonderful little show. 76 comments Add a Comment For anyone not on the mailing list. He places it on the plot and sits down-both a moving gesture of love and a great gag featuring a man sitting in an ornate chair in the middle of a dirt mound. He’s already built the pair their first piece of furniture: a beautiful wooden chair. Season 3 of Joe Pera Talks With You is now available to stream on HBO Max, and Joe can also be seen appearing on season 5 of Search Party which just. Together, Joe tells Sarah, they can start to build a home here. It’s a treat for his girlfriend, Sarah (Jo Firestone), who is both a Doomsday prepper and in love with the great outdoors. Joe uses the money from finally, begrudgingly selling his Nana’s home to buy a 30-acre plot of land miles outside of his Michigan town. (These and all 32 episodes of the show are streaming on HBO Max.)Įven though this news is surprising and, frankly, upsetting to those of us who relied upon the consistent charms of Talks With You, Season 3 ended in a satisfyingly kind way. This was after another special and at least one episode about how to fall and stay asleep, mind you. Only a comedian as disarmingly calm as Joe Pera could get away with a 30-minute special showcasing “relaxing footage”-literally a montage of mundane things like a fish in a fish tank and a pot of coffee brewing-while his pleasant voice narrates stream-of-consciousness, hilarious musings on top of it. The mix of absurd and good-natured humor was what made Talks With You as special as it was to critics like me. This redirected the episode from a comic romp referencing a mediocre film toward a moving exploration of grief. And when he lost his grandma toward the end of Season 2, Joe found out the news while sending his friends on a deeply involved treasure hunt inspired by Rat Race. When he went to the hair salon with his beloved grandmother, Joe imagined himself getting a wild Dragon Ball Z-inspired haircut. That represented what the show did best: incredible sweetness balanced with dry, even surreal humor.
