Carl Nargle, de nummer 1 openbare televisieschilder van Vermont, is ervan overtuigd dat hij alles heeft: een kenmerkende permanent, een op maat gemaakt busje en fans die aan zijn lippen hangen... totdat een jongere, betere artiest alles (en iedereen) steelt waar Carl van houdt.
- Kevin Ward3 juli 2025This felt kind of mean spirited, at least at the start. Carl Nargle (our stand in for Bob Ross) appears to be a womanizing ego-maniac, bedding all of his co-workers in the back of “Vantastic”, his beloved shaggin wagon. “Hilarious” gags ensue like his signature perm gets caught on the van ceiling while he’s seducing one of his admirers. When Nargle balks at filming a second hour of Paint to air daily, the PBS executives bring in a hot new artist, though. She spices up the ratings by painting really edgy subjects like UFO’s with blood spatter and dinosaurs. Then we’re thrown into a love triangle where there is exactly zero chemistry between any of those involved. The uber 70’s/80’s vibe is backed by an uber twangy (and I mean TWANGY) country music score, with the only respite being a couple admittedly solid needle drops. I will say that this gets marginally better by the end if you can make it that far; but I nearly walked out—multiple time. I never do that. Others definitely did. It was a fairly full screening at the start, but I’d estimate that 2 people got up and left every 10 minutes or so for nearly the entire runtime. Can’t say I’ve seen that happen before, even though walkouts are fairly common at these Regal Mystery Movie Mondays. If you couldn’t guess, I can’t recommend this.
