Nathan Fielder: The True King of Horror

O.M.G

First, if you don’t know who Nathan Fielder is, he’s basically a much more awkward and, dare I say, messed up in the head comedian (I feel like he wouldn’t mind that description).

He has a show called The Rehearsal where he helps people prepare for a variety of moments in their lives by offering them, well, a rehearsal. In season one, he helped out trivia-obsessed New Yorker who wants to confess to his bar trivia team that he lied about having a master’s degree. But it isn’t as simple as that. He built a bar, identical to the man’s local one, hired actors to play his friends, and even stages a trivia night, all while Nathan lurks in the background, taking notes on a computer hanging comfortably from his neck.

But that’s a tame version.

In season two, currently available HBO or available to buy on Amazon (worth every penny), he has become a bit obsessed with the aviation field. In the latest episode, he decides to recreate the life of Sully Sullenberger by becoming Sully. Like, reallllllly becoming him. Like, from a baby and onward.

What unfolds is the real definition of horror. Unsettling. Disturbing. Something that will forever live in my mind.

Nathan doesn’t hold back just like so many in the horror genre dedicated to offering the unexpected and experimental. So, if you’re up for it, give it a watch and make your way to the Sully episode. You’ll never forget it.
