    Apparently the latest episode of "What We Do in the Shadows" references the movie "The Warriors," which I've never seen. So we're watching it now. Oh my god, everyone is in ludicrous costumes. And paying train fare.

    It's not a costume it's a way of life [meme]. Saw this elsewhere, it was posted on [email protected] last year and I vowed to post it here this year. I'm pretty sure the pic of the guy is from [What We Do In The Shadows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_We_Do_in_the_Shadows_(TV_series)) (TV not movie).

    The WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS movie is getting a sequel with WE'RE WOLVES. Originally announced years ago, Jemaine Clement tells Collider in an update that he & Taika Waititi are working on the script. "For a long time, we were just talking about it. Now, we've started it."

    Yes, the movie is a classic. But Stefani Robinson wrote the funniest episode of Atlanta (Barbershop) and the funniest ep of What We Do in the Shadows (Jackie Daytona). I want to see her shoot her shot.

    Waititi's original What We Do In The Shadows is fun, Hunt For The Wilderpeople is pretty decent, and he brought an enjoyable hangout energy to his first Thor movie. The rest have been varying but increasing degrees of "yikes"

    Still can’t get over him calling it a mockumentary. The Office, Parks and Rec, What We Do in the Shadows, and Borat are mockumentaries. Y’know, because it’s about fake people, but presented as a documentary. You Can See Everything is definitionally not a mockumentary lol

    My being a sad lost soul has NOTHING to do with my not making it as an artist. Taika directed the "Reservation Dogs" pilot. Throw in both versions of "What We Do in the Shadows" and it's BECAUSE of my affection for him that I may not ever see another one of his movies.

    Sounds like a bit that could fit into _What We Do in the Shadows._ They could tell the camera how they enjoy how they are able to freely walk into half of modern residences nowadays whenever they want because idiot humans usually have a welcome mat that technically counts as an invitation.
