i’ve been trying to explain this sketch to people for years

real-faker

there is literally no way to explain this sketch it’s just a thing you have to see and even then I’m not sure why it’s so funny

“Dear Sister” is the rare SNL sketch making fun of a specific pop culture moment that transcended the thing it is a satire of. No one remembers the OC but the sketch is still wonderful regardless.

So I’m sure the lore is in the notes but here it is reconstructing from the rusty leaking trap of my memory: the Canadian show Degrassi used this music cue when the character Drake got shot. The OC used it in the exact same way the following year in an episode when Marissa shoots Trey. They also used different parts of this same song earlier in the episode at Caleb’s funeral. Actually connecting it to the the running theme of death/endings through the episode.

and SNL finally was just like enough already with the “Hide and Seek”

it’s the overlapping music cues that kill me

On my periodic flanagan binge so the questions keep coming. Hopefully I don’t make you regret having an open ask box.

I’ve been absolutely entranced by your use of Holly Holy in MM. No joke, I’ve been listening to the song on repeat and keep seeing the shots of people standing in the pews in my head. I learned the chord progressions so I could see how the modulations worked to keep raising the tension, and how the structure of the song supports the structure of the montage.

I know you’re always coming at projects from the perspective of the edit, so I gotta know: how much of the Holly Holy montage was baked into the script? Because it’s absolutely perfect and I feel like it was designed incredibly purposefully

flanaganfilm answered:

“Holly Holy” was baked into Midnight Mass almost from the start. I started listening to the song on repeat and imagining the montage sometime back in 2015, and even before we had major plot points figured out for the show, or ever had a studio or a writers room, I had the “Holly Holy” sequence. As far as the script goes, I’d say it was very, very specific about how the song had to be used. Enjoy!
