Andy Daly Writes About a Disconcerting Phenomenon Happening Between Review and the Real World
Something very strange is going on.

It's still unclear whether or not Review takes place in purgatory, but it is clear that something strange is definitely going on. Andy Daly, the show's star and co-creator, wrote to Vulture to explain why he might be a god.
In last night’s episode of Review, Forrest got a prison-yard pillow fight going, and it caused terrible injuries when people put heavy objects in their pillowcases. This probably seemed familiar to anyone who read about the totally insane freshman-cadet pillow fight at West Point a couple weeks ago, which went down in just about the same way. Here’s an article about that: "Annual West Point Pillow Fight Injured 30."
Our segment was shot long before that story broke, so we must have been shocked when we read about such a similar thing actually happening, right? Well, not exactly, because we’re kind of getting used to it. This was hardly an isolated incident. Check this out:
- We shot the episode-six "Rowboating" segment in October 2014. Forrest, out for a pleasant afternoon on a peaceful bay, is swept out to sea and later rescued by a whaling ship. Then, a few weeks later, this: "Kayakers Blown Out to Sea Rescued by Squid-Fishing Boats."
- Then we shot our "Catfishing" segment, where Forrest creates a phony profile on a dating site and does a Google Image search for “very handsome man” to get his profile picture. Then this broke: "The Random Guy Josh Duggar Used As His Ashley Madison Profile Pic Is Not Happy."
- But the creepiest one involved our "Buried Alive" segment, which saw Forrest's harmless, controlled venture into the grave turn into a no-bullshit life-and-death struggle. Then we read this: "'Buried Alive' Escape Artist Rescued After Stunt Goes Wrong."
I don’t know what the hell is going on here! But I do know what’s going to happen to Forrest in next week’s season finale, and if this pattern continues, something terrible is coming! Oh, Lord!
