together!<\/p>\n

The third season of Bojack Horseman<\/em> arrived the same day the long-awaited Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie<\/em> opened here in D.C. So audiences who want to watch appetitive people careening through aimless lives have two starkly opposed portrayals of antiheroes who gobble drugs and guzzle booze, corrupt minors, and abase themselves for fame and maybe kill people.<\/p>\n

AbFab<\/em> is the simpler pleasure. The movie plays like an extended episode of the TV show, in which lifelong best friends\u2014neurotic Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and ferocious Patsy (Joanna Lumley)\u2014stumble and scramble their way through the worlds of puff-piece media and pop fashion. AbFab<\/em> lets catastrophic excess be fun. (Arguably you can\u2019t have fun without it. If it were less catastrophic we\u2019d just call it \u201cjoy.\u201d)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

more<\/a>\u2013just realized another \u201990s-vs-\u201910s contrast here might be that AbFab<\/em>\u2018s core relationship is a friendship, men come & go but Eddie & Patsy are eternal etc, whereas Bojack<\/em> is much more intent on romantic relationships and marriages. I forget which character\u2013might be Bojack himself\u2013lists \u201cfriends\u201d as something you use to fill the void of your self. Bojack\u2019s friendships are pretty much all he has by way of human relationships, and I\u2019m not saying the show *~*denigrates friendship*~* or any such thing; but its focus is shifted way, way toward romantic relationships compared to AbFab<\/em>, and I think that\u2019s partly a difference in era.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
