Julio Torres' Fantasmas is a quirky romp that’s not always laugh-out-loud funny, but consistently imaginative and beautifully cinematic.
, a descriptive if obvious title for a show consisting of a bunch of “little films.” It’s a sketch comedy show that went to art school, a quirky romp that’s not always laugh-out-loud funny but consistently imaginative and beautifully cinematic.wraps around and connects most of its disparate sketches through a loose ongoing narrative. Creator/writer/director Julio Torres stars as Julio, who works as a “Julio.
Some of the show’s skits/“little films” come from Julio’s “Julio” ideas, like Steve Buscemi as the personification of the letter Q. Others play out when following the different characters he crosses paths with , or when he or the other characters are watching TV shows . Many bits come back in multiple episodes, and they pretty much always come back stronger than how they started. A trial bit where an elf sues Santa is one of the show’s more obvious and less funny bits when we first see it, but the running gag grows more pointed each time it returns. The show’s take on superhero fandom is funny to begin with, but in a way that could border on mean-spirited if not for how the fanboy character makes his return later on.
As Julio tries to sell his unmarketable ideas to a new streaming service from Zappos.com ,gets into meta-commentary on the entertainment industry, representational politics, and the frustrations of trying to find any success as an artist in our hyper-capitalist world.
