Both men firmly – and repeatedly – assert that cannibalism isn’t illegal. The bomb is intended for an apparently incendiary candidate speaking that night. “We somehow associate this one man with all these millions of deaths, but he wasn’t the one pulling the triggers, right?” Steve observes.

Mark Proksch. The best thing about Room 104, a new half-hour anthology show created for HBO by Jay and Mark Duplass, is that it’s completely unpredictable: … Just then, on a tip from Sam’s (rightfully) concerned wife, a cop busts in and scans the scene. Obviously, the cop is freaked the eff out by what she sees, and she immediately calls for backup. One bomb, one vote, one man won’t change the world. The series debuted on July 28, 2017, on HBO. When Alex finishes his work and leaves the tent to check on Josh, he’s gone. The unnamed politician that Alex is planning to assassinate has a lot in common with Donald Trump. Do you shoot him?

Alex is prepared to carry out the mission on his own, but he’s interrupted by an AC repairman (Hugo Armstrong), who enters the room while Alex is in the shower.

While Alex is laser-focused on his project, Josh is falling apart. Apparently there’s a corner for the internet for literally everyone. But “Voyeurs” is something entirely different: a work of interpretive dance directed by the choreographer and filmmaker Dayna Hanson. Mark Duplass drew inspiration from a real story about consenting German cannibals. He’s a divisive figure, one that’s “tough to ignore.” Alex obviously hates him, but Steve admires the man. While his name is never mentioned, the specter of Donald Trump hangs heavy over “Red Tent.” He’s present in the unseen, inflammatory politician who tells it like it is. … While Alex is laser-focused on his project, Josh is falling apart. One is specifically for blood clotting. Okaaaaaay….

Mr Brandes swallowed 20 sleeping tablets and half a bottle of schnapps before Meiwes cut off Brandes’ penis, with his agreement, and fried it for both of them to eat. Everything else is completely unpredictable. Did he go forward with his plan?

He knows it’s a sin but he thinks it’s justifiable. This week’s Room 104 S3E11: “Crossroads” is from the tag team of director Patrick Brice and writer Sam Bain. The psycho part is still up for debate, but – according to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute – the actual act of consuming human flesh isn’t illegal. With so many shows feeling algorithmically tailored to the preferences of the discerning binge viewer, Room 104 is much less calculated—it would much rather try and fail than, say, offer up a grab-bag of prestige-TV tropes that feels ultimately hollow. Woah. We have to look around us, even at ourselves.

Room 104 episode 'Hungry' proves that truth is stranger than fiction. Even though cannibalism isn’t technically illegal in Germany, and his victim consented to the event, Meiwes was charged and subsequently convicted.

And he found one.

Mr. Brice is basically an honorary Duplass Brother at this point, it being his third turn in the director’s chair this season alone.
