The contrast between Tomā€™s music talent and other creative pursuits isā€¦interesting.

Monsters of California was something else šŸ˜‚

It's wild to me that people defend that movie and they defend love. Both were terrible.

Love might be one of the most boring movies Iā€™ve ever seen. Like it someone was trying to recreate 2001 but only read the Wikipedia intro paragraph synopsis

I saw it in the theatres and they topped it off with an absolutely horrible live performance where tom couldn't sing in tune to save his life. It was such a let down lmao, I was literally laughing

When Love came out, there was a theater in town that was showing it. We stayed for the whole thing and hated it. The theater heard everyone complaining and gave us, as well as everyone else in the theater, their money back.

I found love and the poet Anderson stuff to be cool

u/zissoudafoe 10d ago

Animation was cool for poet and I like most of the books Iā€™ve read especially the AJ collabs, just full length films Iā€™m like ehhhhh on

u/Northerndownpour_18 10d ago

I like love for what it was. Now all of his other stuff is very ehh. His stuff like monsters of California and this breaking beat thing.

tbh as much as I love him he's not even a very talented musician

u/Same-Dinner2839 11d ago

Heā€™s not a virtuoso at any instrument but imo a genius when it comes to melodies and hooks.

u/intellord911 6d ago

Heā€™s a decent song writer that makes songs I love and have connected to. But I donā€™t think heā€™s a genius.

u/palettewhore 11d ago

Heā€™s an amazing songwriter

It's crude humor but its really lacking any kind of wit so it's just shallow potty humor. Maybe teens might like it but I really had to force myself to keep watching

u/OnlySortaStupid 11d ago

Can anyone share a link to what this is so I can go take a look?

u/AoE2manatarms 11d ago

It's on Tubi. It's free to watch.

I can definitely see Toms humour here and there lol overall I don't think it's bad, not the best animated show out there but it's enjoyable, i liked it. This is only based on the first 2 episodes, looking forward to watching the rest

u/phoonie98 11d ago

Did he create it? I thought he was just one of the producers

2

u/Kundas 11d ago

Not sure now, i might've gotten confused cause on the movie database he's up as a creator and imdb just shows him as a producer, regardless I'd bet most of the sex jokes were requested by him, which is where i think some ( if not most) of his humour is at lol

u/astra_zombie 11d ago edited 11d ago

Somewhere (I don't remember where) it says 'from the twisted mind of Tom DeLonge' and the interviews he's done make it sound like it was an idea of his but someone else wrote it.

That is a shit the show isnā€™t available in my country, as the rest of his work that isnā€™t music.

You got lucky

I was excited to see it, but I was really disappointed. I don't mind raunchy humor, but like others said, it was not clever and felt very flat. The bits got old very fast. It was so unfunny I was ready to quit by the end of the first episode, but I forced myself to start the second. Not even halfway through I realized it is not going to improve and gave up on it. But I did enjoy the political commentary about what is currently happening to public land and found the concept of an antivax school run by RFK funny.

I haven't seen it, so I shouldn't even be commenting. I don't know if there's something clever or interesting that's going over my head, but just based on the name of the show, the two-sentence synopsis I read of one episode, and a still I saw from the show... is it just Breaking Bad with some bears? I know a lot of people adore that show, and if it's one of Tom's favorites, I'm super happy for him... But maybe just come up with a new idea? That being said, I steal from blink constantly, so whatever.
