How To with John Wilson

Stream It or Leave It

This episode, we ambled around a New York docu-comedy series quickly becoming a cult favorite, which Shindy said “saved her during lockdown.”

“It's one of my favorite shows of the last year. It brought me a lot of joy and I'm glad we're spreading the word,” applauded Mat.

Under the comedic guise of a ‘How To’ guide, each episode of How to with John Wilson starts from a simple yet slightly ridiculous premise, such as “How to Make Small Talk,” and morphs into a freewheeling adventure through New York and its characters.

"He's like a modern day, social anthropologist...he analyzes peoples’ behaviors. And luckily, he captures it all on film," said Shindy.

"It reminded me of Borat. You have this innocent-seeming character who, by his approach, people get comfortable with, and reveal themselves in ways which you wouldn’t normally get," said Mat.
