Synopsis

John Lurie knows absolutely nothing about fishing, but that doesn’t stop him from undertaking the adventure of a lifetime on Fishing with John. Traveling with his special guests to the most exotic and dangerous places on earth, John Lurie battles sharks with Jim Jarmusch off the tip of Long Island, goes ice fishing with Willem Dafoe at Maine’s northernmost point, braves the Costa Rican jungle with Matt Dillon, takes Tom Waits to Jamaica, and searches for the elusive giant squid with Dennis Hopper in Thailand. —The Criterion Collection

Is a tv show a movie? if criterion picks it up I think so... Like Tanner '88... but yeah, this one is simply spectacular.

I just watched two episodes of this today and it is one of the most bizarrely hilarious shows I've ever seen

Absolutely wonderful. Perfect for those who enjoy the absurdity of comedy like Stella. Easily my favorite thing to air on television of all time.

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The ice fishing with Willem Dafoe is my favorite.
