Great Minds with Dan Harmon

2016 · 1 season

A silly, low-budget talk-show parody where historical figures are interviewed and then crumble to dust, played for deadpan laughs.

Overview: Writer Dan Harmon has his assistant Spencer Crittenden construct a time machine to transport historical figures from the past so he can interview them. The interviewees only survive for a few hours before undergoing a "total protoplasmic disconversion" and collapsing into dust, which Spencer collects in a jar.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, celebrity, death, identity
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
