Show Notes

I can't remember a single joke that even made me consider laughing. The foundation of this "documentary" relies on Steele leveraging his friendship with Will Ferrell, a prominent and respected figure, to help introduce it to a wider audience. Regardless of their reputations, I believe Will & Harper Lookmovie film would struggle to find success. Despite their close friendship, there is an undeniable awkwardness between them. This tension is also apparent when Steele interacts with both friends and strangers; although he generally receives positive responses, there seems to be an underlying strain that prevents engaging conversations from developing. Ferrell appears to feel obligated to ensure his friend's acceptance among new people, which may further contribute to the somewhat contrived nature of their interactions with others.
